The weak shall inherit: bacteriocin-mediated interactions in bacterial populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Evolutionary arms race plays a major role in shaping biological diversity. In microbial systems, competition often involves chemical warfare and the production of bacteriocins, narrow-spectrum toxins aimed at killing closely related strains by forming ...

Development of Class IIa Bacteriocins as Therapeutic Agents
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.

Isolation, identification and evaluation of bacteriocin activity of lactic acid bacteria from intestinal bacterial flora of Planiliza klunzingeri (Day, 1888) [PDF]
بومشناسی آبزیان, 2023 The study delved into bacteriocins, peptides with antibacterial properties, originating from select lactic acid bacteria. Isolating 18 such bacteria from Liza klunzingeri's intestine, their potential in bacteriocin production against food pathogens was ...

Bacteriocin Production by Beta-Hemolytic Streptococci
Pathogens, 2021 Beta-hemolytic streptococci cause a variety of infectious diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality. A key factor for successful infection is host colonization, which can be difficult in a multispecies environment.

Common occurrence of antibacterial agents in human intestinal microbiota
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Laboratory experiments have revealed many active mechanisms by which bacteria can inhibit the growth of other organisms. Bacteriocins are a diverse group of natural ribosomally-synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by a wide range of bacteria and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This graphical abstract presents gut microbial cross‐feeding through a Mechanism–Technology–Application framework. It summarizes major resource‐transfer modes, the experimental and computational tools used to establish causality, and potential interventions involving dietary substrates, live biotherapeutic products, and engineered microbes.
