Résumé : A new ATP bioluminescence-based method was developed to determine the effectiveness of nisin on a sensitive strain of Lactococcus cremoris. The principle of the method is to quantify the release of adenylic-nucleotides (AN) by a sensitive strain under the action of the bacteriocin, with the complex luciferin-luciferase. Nisin-induced leakage of AN included ATP from a sensitive L. cremoris to the external medium immediately after the contact with the bacteria. The growth of L. cremoris was correlated with the extracellular AN content. The extracellular ATP and AN concentration exhibited a linear correlation to the logarithm of the nisin concentration. For the determination of the effectiveness threshold, the concentration of AN was more sensitive and more reliable than the direct quantification of ATP. The effectiveness threshold, corresponding to a 100% inhibition of L. cremoris growth, was obtained for a null concentration of intracellular nucleotides, i.e. for a ANtot:ANext ratio = 1. For an initial concentration of 1.4 x 107 bacteria/mL, the nisin effectiveness threshold is 3.4 ± 0.01 mg nisin/L. It is possible to detect effectiveness threshold concentration by taking into account the physiological state of the cells.
