摘要:
Derived microorganisms containing foreign DNA encoding for nisin production and a method for producing the derived microorganisms by transferring DNA to a recipient microorganism are described. The recipient microorganisms are preferably bacteria lacking in the ability to produce nisin. Nisin inhibits the growth of spoilage bacteria and is used in various materials for preservation, including foods and particularly at refrigeration temperatures. Nisin is also used in animals for improving the health of the animal. The foreign DNA is obtained from a donor microorganism and encodes for nisin production when transferred to the recipient microorganism.

Streptococcus lactis subsp. diacetilactis mixed with nitrate reducing bacteria are used to produce a red color in cured meats. The meats contain a food grade preservative selected from nitrite, nitrate and mixtures thereof which allow the development of the red color in the meat.

Non-sucrose fermenting strains of Pediococcus pentosaceus are described. The non-sucrose fermenting Pediococcus pentosaceus strains have been cured to remove a single, natural plasmid which has been found to control the fermentation of sucrose to produce lactic acid. The natural plasmid removed is between about 30 to 35 megadaltons in molecular weight. Compositions including the non-sucrose fermenting strains of Pediococcus pentosaceus are useful for food fermentations, particularly meat fermentations.
摘要:
Plants susceptible to pathogenic fungi are contacted with a mutant strain of Pseudomonas putida, particularly Pseudomonas putida NRRL-B-12537 which produces iron complexing siderophores thereby affording protection from the fungi. The Pseudomonas competes with the fungi for iron found in the soil thereby inhibiting the fungi growth. The method is particularly effective in controlling Fusarium oxysporum Sp lycopersici on tomato plants.
摘要:
A method for protecting food systems from gram-positive bacterial spoilage by incorporating a bacteriocin is described. Foods incorporating the bacteriocin are described, particularly salads and salad dressings.
摘要:
A method for using selected strains of Streptococcus lactis subspecies diacetilactis, which have been modified to be non-lactose fermenting, for the preservation of foods containing lactose is described. The subspecies is more generally known as Streptococcus diacetilactis. The selected Streptococcus diacetilactis strains have been modified by curing to remove at least one natural plasmid which controls the fermentation of lactose to lactic acid while retaining the ability of this subspecies to inhibit bacterial spoilage in foods. The plasmid removed by curing is about 41 megadaltons (Mdal) in mass. The method using the modified strains of Streptococcus diacetilactis is particularly adapted for the preservation of milk products.

摘要:
New strains of non-lactose fermenting Pediococcus pentosaceus containing a naturally occurring plasmid are described. The new Pediococcus pentosaceus strains have been exposed to a mutagenic agent, preferably 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine, to modify genetic material which controls the fermentation of lactose to lactic acid. The naturally occurring plasmid is between about 30 to 35 megadaltons in molecular weight. Compositions including the new strains of lactose negative Pediococcus pentosaceus are useful for food fermentations, particularly meat formulations.
