Abstract
A bacteriocin having activity against bacteria including Listeria monocytogenes is obtained by culturing cells of a strain of Micrococcus varians, particularly cells of deposited strains CNCM I-1586 and CNCM I-1587, to obtain cultured cells and a supernatant and by separating the supernatant from the cultured cells to obtain the supernatant which contains the bacteriocin which, in turn, may be isolated from the supernatant.
