Recent Trends and Applications of Nanoencapsulated Bacteriocins against Microbes in Food Quality and Safety

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Bacteriocins are ribosomal-synthesized peptides or proteins produced by bacterial strains and can inhibit pathogenic bacteria. Numerous factors influence the potential activity of bacteriocins in food matrices. For example, food additives usage, chemical

Bacteriocins: Novel Solutions to Age Old Spore-Related Problems? [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

A Review of Structural Characteristics and Structure-Function Relationship of Two-Peptide (Class IIb) Bacteriocins [PDF]

open access: yesShipin Kexue, 2023
The two-peptide (class IIb) bacteriocins are generally thermostable small-molecule (< 10 kDa) two-component antimicrobial peptides produced by Gram-positive bacteria.
