Lactic acid bacteria are an important group for food industry, being commonly used in food fermentation. Leuconostoc mesenteroides can show interesting technological properties in food application, such as probiotic potential and bacteriocins production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the probiotic potential of Lc. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides SJRP55 and its application in fermented milk, and to characterize, purify and identify the bacteriocins produced by this microorganism. In the evaluation of probiotic potential and viability in presence of medicaments, the culture showed resistance to stress conditions (acid and bile salts) and it was also able to deconjugate bile salts. The tolerance to NaCl was temperature dependent, as well as the results obtained for the aggregation assays. Lc. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides SJRP55 presented good adhesion properties (co-aggregation, cell surface hydrophobicity and adherence to Caco-2 cells), demonstrated β–galactosidase activity and it was sensitive to most of the tested antibiotics. However, some analgesic drugs inhibited the growth of this strain. Lc. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides SJRP55, in co-culture with Streptococcus thermophilus TA040, showed viability in fermented milk during the storage conditions. During the evaluation of production of antimicrobial substances, Lc. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides SJRP55 produced antibacterial compounds with strong inhibition against Listeria spp. strains and no inhibition against Lactobacillus spp. The antimicrobial substances were stable to high temperatures, low pH values, in presence of chemical compounds, but sensitive to proteolytic enzymes and resistant to α-amylase, lipase and catalase enzymes. The optimal temperature for antimicrobial compounds production was 25°C. The compounds showed slight bactericide effect against Listeria innocua and Listeria monocytogenes strains and reduced one log cycle of viable ...
