These findings suggest that subtilosin is potentially
a good substitute of nisin as food preservative. However, the
application of subtilosin in food has not been reported.
The aim of this study was to screen food samples for bacterial
strains and bacterioins with promising antimicrobial properties. A
bacterial strain, designated as OSY-7LA, was isolated and found to
produce the lantibiotic subtilosin. Production, purification and
identification of subtilosin and its application in Vienna sausage
were described.
