METHOD OF BACTERIOCINS ISOLATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C12N1/20 C07K1/20 C12P1/04 C12P21/00 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: culture fluid of producer strain is concentrated on hollow fibers truncating macromolecules with a molecular weight higher than 15 kDa. The cell concentrate is added to dry NaCl in a final concentration of 0.5 M. Mixed on a shaker for 20 min. The suspension is centrifuged for 15 min at 10000 g and the supernatant is separated, the supernatant pH is made up to 3.0 by four-molar solution of HCl. The suspension is centrifuged. The residue is added to water in a volume of 0.1% of the initial volume of the culture fluid, the residue is suspended and alcohol is added in amount of 0.1% of the initial volume of the culture fluid. Ethanol or propanol or isopropanol is used as alcohol. Exposed for 30 minutes at 0°C and centrifuged. The alcohol is removed from the solution by evaporation. The peptide fraction is purified. Water is added to 0.1% of the initial volume of the culture fluid, active carbon is added in an amount of 0.5% w/v (v - water volume). Centrifuged removing impurities adsorbed on the carbon. The aqueous solution is passed through the membrane truncating macromolecules with a molecular weight more than 10 kDa.

EFFECT: invention enables to accelerate preparation of bacteriocin and to increase the degree of purification of the resulting product in a yield of 90% of the total activity in the culture fluid.
