Detection of specific bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria by colony hybridization

A colony hybridization method for detecting lactic acid bacteria encoding specific bacteriocins was developed. Specific PCR-generated probes were used to detect colonies of pediocin PA-1, lactococcin A, enterocin AS- 48, nisin A and lacticin 481 producing strains. The probes were shown to be sensitive and specific for sequences belonging to the structural genes of the respective bacteriocins.
