In this study, the plasmid content and bacteriocin production of natural isolates of lactococci were investigated. Five bacteriocin producing lactococcal strains (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis BGMN1-2, BGMN1-3, BGMN1-5, BGMN1-6, and BGMN2-7) were isolated as nonstarter microflora of semi-hard homemade cheese and characterized. All isolates contained a number of plasmids. It was shown that lcnB structural genes for bacteriocin lactococcin B were located on large plasmids in all isolates. In the strains BGMN1-3 and BGMN1-5 proteinase prtP genes collocated with lcnB. Furthermore, these strains produced two additional bacteriocins (LsbA and LsbB) with genes responsible for their production and immunity located on the small rolling circle-replicating plasmid pMN5. Using deletion experiments of pMN5, minimal replicon of the plasmid and involvement of a bacteriocin locus in plasmid maintenance were identified. In addition, plasmid curing experiments showed that genes for catabolism or transport of 10 carbohydrates in the strain BGMN1-5 were plasmid located.
