A new intracellular bacteriocin isolated from a human fecal strain of Bacteroides ovatus was partially purified through ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The bacteriocin is stable at a pH range of 3-10, at 60 degrees C for 24 h, and at -70 degrees C for 6 months. It is inactivated by proteolytic enzymes. The molecular weight, estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate--PAGE, is 78 kDa. Fifty strains of the Bacteroides fragilis group were isolated from fecal samples, and 41 of the isolates were shown to produce an antagonistic substance against at least 1 indicator strain. Iso-, auto-, and hetero-antagonisms were observed.
