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.

Membrane Topology of the Lactococcal Bacteriocin ATP-binding Cassette Transporter Protein LcnC. Involvement of LcnC in Lactococcin A Maturation [PDF]

, 1999
Many non-lantibiotic bacteriocins of lactic acid bacteria are produced as precursors with N-terminal leader peptides different from those present in preproteins exported by the general sec-dependent (type II) secretion pathway. These bacteriocins utilize

Structure of the atypical bacteriocin pectocin M2 implies a novel mechanism of protein uptake [PDF]

, 2014
The colicin-like bacteriocins are potent protein antibiotics that have evolved to efficiently cross the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria by parasitizing nutrient uptake systems.

Efficient Exploitation of Multiple Novel Bacteriocins by Combination of Complete Genome and Peptidome

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Backgroud: The growing emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens including the most dangerous superbugs requires quick discovery of novel antibiotics/biopreservatives for human health and food safety. Bacteriocins, a subgroup of antimicrobial peptides,

Application of Bacteriocins and Protective Cultures in Dairy Food Preservation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
In the last years, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the human health risk posed by the use of chemical preservatives in foods. In contrast, the increasing demand by the dairy industry to extend shelf-life and prevent spoilage of dairy ...

What traits are carried on mobile genetic elements, and why? [PDF]

, 2010
Although similar to any other organism, prokaryotes can transfer genes vertically from mother cell to daughter cell, they can also exchange certain genes horizontally.

Obtaining and Characteristic of the Autolysate of Lactic Acid Bacteria [PDF]

, 2018
Fragments of bacterial peptidoglycan relating to compounds of the muropeptide series have high biological activity. They have an immunological effect, due to the fact that they are signals for immune receptors and, accordingly, their activators. In order
