Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new endolysin which is derived from a bacteriophage SPN1S and a composition for killing bacteria including the same. The bacteriophage SPN1S-derived endolysin which is newly confirmed in the present invention can be used for food, medicine, and feed by having a bacteriolytic action on strains belonging to a salmonella which is one of causative organisms that cause food poisoning and a gram-negative bacteria of a wide range, and by having a strong antibacterial activity with a small amount.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composition containing bacteriocin cerein 13061 for killing germ is provided to replace antibiotics used in the food industry or livestock industry. CONSTITUTION: A polypeptide with a bacteriocin activity contains an amino acid sequence of sequence number 1 or 2. A polynucleotide encoding the amino acid of sequence number 1 has a nucleic acid sequence of sequence number 3. A polynucleotide encoding the amino acid of sequence number 2 has a nucleic acid sequence of sequence number 5. A composition for killing germ independently contains the polypeptide of sequence number 1 or 2 or a combination of the polypeptides. The composition contains a culture of Bacillus cereus ATCC 13061 as an active ingredient.
