A Pediococcus acidilactici strain PA003 was isolated from traditionally fermented Chinese cabbage "Suan-tsai". The strain was found to produce an extracellular antimicrobial substance against Listeria monocytogenes and Lactobacillus plantarum. It was neither organic acid nor hydrogen peroxide. It was found sensitive to proteolytic enzymes and determined to be a proteinaceous bacteriocin in nature. The bacteriocin was resistant to heat and active over a wide range of pH. PCR amplification and the following cloning and sequencing of the amplified DNA fragment indicated that the bacteriocin was pediocin or its homolog.
