Abstract
A bacteriocin, streptocin A, was isolated from the supernatant fluid of tryptic soy broth cultures of Group A streptococcus strain FF-22. Evidence was obtained which supports the view that the failure to recover active streptocin A after growth of the producer strain in certain fluid media is due to the inactivation of the bacteriocin by concomitantly synthesized streptococcal proteinase.Keywords
