Novel approaches to purifying bacteriocin: A review

ABSTRACT

Bacteriocin is a proteinaceous biomolecule produced by bacteria (both Gram-positive and Gram-negative) that exhibits antimicrobial activity against closely related species, and food-borne pathogens. It has recently gained importance and attracted the attention of several researchers looking to produce it from various substrates and bacterial strains. This ushers in a new era of food preservation where the use of bacteriocin in food products will be an alternative to chemical preservatives, and heat treatment which are understood to cause unwanted side effects, and reduce sensory and nutritional quality. However, this new market depends on the success of novel downstream separation schemes from various types of crude feedstocks which are both effective and economic. This review focuses on the downstream separation of bacteriocin from various sources using both conventional and novel techniques. Finally, recommendations for future interesting areas of research that need to be pursued are highlighted.     

我国工业化进程中煤矿安全评价分析

对工业化进程中,即1949-2012年我国煤矿事故进行统计分析。建立煤矿安全以自然条件、安全管理和通风系统的3个层次及21个指标的综合评价体系,给出煤矿安全5个等级标准及相应的评价指标量值。应用可拓理论,以平顶山某煤矿为实例,进行计算分析,得出该煤矿等级为Ⅲ级,处于一般安全的状况,需要采取防范措施预防潜在危险因素。评价结果合理。
