Pediocin Pediocin is a cationic membrane-permeabilizing antimicrobial peptide of Class Ila. The best-known pediocin is pediocin PA-l/AcH, which is a small antilisterial plasmid-encoded peptide produced by P. acidilactici. Pediocins are commercially traded as bacteriocin-containing fermentative powder by companies such as Kerry Bio-Sciences, Chr. Hansen, and Handary [52, 53] (Table 11.2). Other species such as P. pentosaceus and P. parvulus and strains belonging to Lb. plantarum are also capable of producing this compound [62, 63]. Although pediocin is mainly used in meat products, its production in heterologous hosts is considered an attractive alternative in dairy products [52,141] (Table 11.3). 

Pediocin PA-1 is a bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici PAG 1.0 and is effective against P. acidilactici, P. pentosacens, Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei, L. bifermentans, L. mesenteroides and Listeria monocytogenes (Marugg, 1991). Other Pediococcus spp. also produce bacterioc-ins (Stiles and Hastings, 1991). The range of bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus spp. is illustrated in Table 6.4.
