Abstract
      Strain AK71, isolated from Egyptian fermented milk named Zabady, and identified as Enterococcus faecalis, produces a 4000 Da bacteriocin-like compound with inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus 91161, Enterococcus faecalis 90519 and Serratia marcescens 98027. Bacteriocin AK71-like compound is inactivated by proteinase K but not when treated with catalase and trypsin. No change in activity was recorded after either 30 min or 2 h at pH values between 3.0 and 8.0, and after treatment at 100°C for 30 min. Activity was lost after treatment at 121°C for 20 min. The mode of action is bacteriostatic. The highest level of bacteriocin activity (51200 AU/ml) was recorded when cells were grown in MRS broth at 30°C for 12 h. Bacteriocin AK 71 shows activity towards Gram-negative bacteria making it different from  most bacteriocins described for Enterococcus spp.
