The biokinetics of cell growth and bacteriocin production of Enterococcus faecium FAIR-E 406 was studied as a function of temperature (20-45 degrees C) and pH (5.5-8.5) using de Man-Rogosa-Sharpe medium. Growth of E. faecium FAIR-E 406 was characterized by three successive growth phases and was modelled with the mechanistic nutrient depletion model. Bacteriocin production showed primary metabolite kinetics but was limited to the early growth phase. The critical biomass for switching off bacteriocin production was dependent on medium pH and incubation temperature, and was inversely correlated with the specific bacteriocin production. Doubling the concentration of the nitrogen source as well as a step-wise pH increase shifted the bacteriocin production towards a higher switch-off cell density.
