The positive control in this experiment is ampicillin and the negative control is <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> without adding bacteriocins. We use Elisa Reader to record O.D.<sub>600nm</sub> values of samples once an hour, if O.D.<sub>600nm</sub> values decrease, it means that our bacteriocin inhibit the growth of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i>. Further, we can also know when does bacteriocin degrade by observing the growth curve of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i>. The pre-test data are all triplicated and normalized.</p>

Navigation Bar MIC Test

     After producing our target protein---bacteriocin, we investigate function of bacteriocins including Inhibition Zone and Inhibition Ability. We choose Bacillus subtilis as our target model

Inhibition Zone

     To test the inhibition ability of bacteriocins in solid medium, we use Inhibition Zone to measure the effective inhibition of bacteriocins. We use the condensed culture spread to the agar plate and add bacteriocins and let it to dry. In that case, the dose of inhibition zone is as same as microdilution which can be in contrast with liquid condition.

Inhibition Ability Analysis

     The purpose of this experiment is to verify that Bacteriocins have function. Firstly, we cultivated Bacillus subtilis as Bacteriocins’ inhibiting target. Centrifuge products which have been sonicated and used supernatants as samples. The positive control in this experiment is Ampicillin and the negative control is Bacillus subtilis without adding Bacteriocins. We use Elisa Reader to record O.D.600nm values of samples once an hour, if OD values decrease, it means that our bacteriocin inhibit the growth of Bacillus subtilis. Further, we can also know when does bacteriocin degrade by observing the growth curve of Bacillus subtilis. The pre-test data are all triplicated and normalized.

     Concentration of Enterocin B 1.0 is 263mg/L, Leucocyclicin Q 1.0 is 217mg/L and Enterocin 96 1.0 is 74mg/L.

     Figure3~5 show that Enterocin B, Leucocyclicin Q and Enterocin 96 have significantly inhibition rangecomparing to negative control, column buffer, which is the buffer that protein solubilize in after purification.

Inhibition Analysis of unpurified bacteriocins

     After purifying bacteriocins, we do the inhibition analysis of unpurified bacteriocins, which only been sonicated after expression, and we find out that bacteriocins also have strong inhibition ability to Bacillus subtilis. Therefore, we do a series of experiments using unpurified bacteriocins, and the following data shows that each bacteriocin can have effective function without purifying, keeping costs of using bacteriocins as a biostimulator low.

Lacticin Z(96.64%), Bovicin HJ50(82.05%), Enterocin 96(46.47%), Enterocin B(46.06%), Leucocyclicin Q(40.58%),Durancin TW-49M(19.52%).

Figure 2:Normalized growth curve of bacteriocins and Negative Control.

  • Figure 1 shows six bacteriocins’ inhibiting ability to B. sub, and Durancin TW-49M has the most effective function, inhibiting 80% of B. sub’s growth.
  • Figure 2 shows how O.D.600nm value of each sample decreases, indicating the strongest bacteriocin is Durancin TW-49M. It has strong inhibiting ability and its standard difference is also small, which means Durancin TW-49M has is both effective and stable.
  • The following data showed that each bacteriocin can have effective function without purifying, keeping costs of using bacteriocins as a biostimulator low.

Dose Response Assessment

     Secondly, we diluted samples into three different concentration, which is 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 times of primitive samples. Dose Response Assessment showed that the inhibition wasn’t caused by endotoxin. The positive control in this experiment is Ampicillin and the negative control is Bacillus subtilis without adding Bacteriocins. The Dose Response Assessment data are all triplicated and normalized.

     Figure25~30 show dose response assessments of six bacteriocins. Durancin TW-49M and Enterocin B represent a greater dose response data. After that, we analyze the target band of SDS-PAGE gel and estimate concentration of bacteriocins.

Enterocin 96_1.0X:21.12mg/L, Durancin TW-49M_1.0X is 24.32mg/L, Enterocin B_1.0X is 21.12mg/L, Bovicin HJ50_1.0X is 18.71mg/L and Lacticin Z_1.0X is 260.29mg/L.

Figure 31:The relative percentage of O.D.600nm value of bacteriocins.

     P values are used to determine whether two sets of data are significantly different with each other or not. Therefore, the smaller p-value is, which means bacteriocin exactly more effective to inhibit the growth of Bacillus subtilis than negative control does. The star indicates p< 0.05 and two stars indicate that p< 0.01.

     Figure 31 shows the p-value and the star of each sample. P-value of Durancin TW-49M is the smallest in the figure, which indicates it is the most reliable.

Conclusion

     From our experiments we conclude that our 6 bacteriocins are functional. We began by performing both functional test in 96-well plate and inhibition zones. Our results indicate successful inhibition of Bacillus subtilis. Then, we moved on to dose response assessment. Of our 6 peptides, four show convincing results, following the trend of greater inhibition with higher dosage.
