Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) occur naturally as indigenous microbiota in raw milk, and play an important role in the microbial ecology of this product due to their antimicrobial activity against spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms, such as Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. Several LAB species were already isolated and identified as producers of some bacteriocins. However, researches should be conducted to optimize the antimicrobial substances production to control the development of foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms. Considering the bacteriocins application viability in the food industry, the aim of this work was to verify the proteinaceus nature and the culture conditions interference on production of antimicrobial substances by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) cultures isolated from raw milk and cheese. The antimicrobial substance produced were characterized for sensibility of different enzymes, for antimicrobial action against Listeria spp., Staphylococcus spp. and LAB cultures, and the effect of eight variations of culture media (MRS, modified MRS - mMRS, M17, and BHI, added or not with cistein solution) and eight combinations of time and temperature of incubation (25 and 35 °C for 12, 24, 48 and 72h) were evaluated. The antimicrobial substances produced by 80 LAB cultures presented a proteinaceous nature, indicating the bacteriocin production. Lactococcus spp. was the genera with better antimicrobial activity and Listeria spp. was the most sensitive genera. The culture media MRS and mMRS and the incubation conditions of 25 °C for 24h, and to 35 °C for 12h presented better antimicrobial activity performance. Considering the obtained results, it was possible to understand some important aspects in relation to the bacteriocin production by some genera of LAB, leading further studies to their future application in dairy products.
