Development of Class IIa Bacteriocins as Therapeutic Agents [PDF]
International Journal of Microbiology, 2012 Class IIa bacteriocins have been primarily explored as natural food preservatives, but there is much interest in exploring the application of these peptides as therapeutic antimicrobial agents.

BACTERIOCINS OF Lactobacillus LF221 STRAIN
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 1998 LF221 strain is a Lactobacillus isolate from a baby’s faeces that was previously found to produce bacteriocin(s) with inhibitory activity against a wide range of bacterial species including some pathogenic and food-spoilage (Bacillus cereus, Clostridium ...

In vitro and in vivo production and split-intein mediated ligation (SIML) of circular bacteriocins
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Circular bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria that after synthesis undergo a head-to-tail circularization. Compared to their linear counterparts, circular bacteriocins are, in general, very stable to temperature and pH changes and

Heterologous expression and antimicrobial potential of class II bacteriocins
Gut MicrobesGut bacteria are known to produce bacteriocins to inhibit the growth of other bacteria. Consequently, bacteriocins have attracted increased attention as potential microbiome-editing tools.

Purification and characterization of novel class IId bacteriocins, petauricin A and petauricin B produced by Lactococcus petauri NC2. [PDF]
BMC MicrobiolBacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) possess a well-established safety profile and are therefore widely studied as safe antimicrobial substances. The development of diverse novel bacteriocins is essential for managing harmful bacteria that

Preservation of Meat Products with Bacteriocins Produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Meat
Journal of Food Quality, 2019 Bacteriocins are ribosomal-synthesized antimicrobial peptides that inhibit the growing of pathogenic and/or deteriorating bacteria. The most studied bacteriocin-producing microorganisms are lactic acid bacteria (LAB), as they have great potential ...

Bacterial warfare is associated with virulence and antimicrobial resistance. [PDF]
Nat CommunBacteria have evolved a diverse array of mechanisms to inhibit and kill competitors. However, why some bacteria carry such weapons while others do not remains poorly understood.

Antibacterial Activities of Bacteriocins: Application in Foods and Pharmaceuticals
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Bacteriocins are a kind of ribosomal synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which can kill or inhibit bacterial strains closely-related or non-related to produced bacteria, but will not harm the bacteria themselves by specific immunity ...

Bacteriocins: Properties and potential use as antimicrobials
Journal of clinical laboratory analysis (Print), 2021 A variety of bacteriocins originate from lactic acid bacteria, which have recently been modified by scientists. Many strains of lactic acid bacteria related to food groups could produce bacteriocins or antibacterial proteins highly effective against ...
