Abstract

A bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacterium with inhibitory activity against the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum was isolated from kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented vegetable. For the identification of the isolate, its 16S rDNA was sequenced. As a result, the sequence showed $99\%$ homology with those from Lactobacillus paraplantarum, Lb. plantarum, and Lactobacillus pentosus. For further identification of the isolate, the sequence of its 16S/23S rDNA spacer region was determined, and the sequence matched perfectly with that of Lb. paraplantarum. SDS­PAGE fingerprinting of whole-cell proteins of the isolate was almost identical with that of Lb. paraplantarum. The isolation and identification of Lb. paraplantarum suggest that Lb. paraplantarum is one of the lactic acid bacteria involved in kimchi fermentation.
