what is polylysine?
ε-Polylysine is a homopolymer of L-lysine, a result of bacteria fermentation. It can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, moulds.
How it produced?
ε-Polylysine is produced by a pure culture of Streptomyces albulus bacteria following a strictly controlled fermentation process. After extraction, the ε-Polylysine is centrifuged, filtered, and washed, to ensure the purity and quality of the end product.
How does it work?
ε-Polylysine can destroy the structure of the microorganism’s cell membrane, and leak the contents of it. Then ε-Polylysine will enter into the cell through the holes of the cell membrane, destroys the normal physiological metabolism of the cell, causes the interruption of the transmission of substances, energy and information in the cell, and leads to cell death
Is polylysine an antibiotic?
Polylysine is not classified as an antibiotic. Instead, it is a natural antimicrobial agent used primarily as a food preservative. While both antibiotics and antimicrobial agents inhibit the growth of microorganisms, they differ in their uses and regulatory classifications.
