Cloning and functional expression of a food-grade circular bacteriocin, plantacyclin B21AG, in probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
There is an increasing consumer demand for minimally processed, preservative free and microbiologically safe food. These factors, combined with risks of antibiotic resistance, have led to interest in bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as

Characterization of Flexusin A, a Novel Circular Bacteriocin Produced by Marine Bacterium Bacillus flexus R29-2 [PDF]

Marine Drugs
Circular bacteriocins are potent antimicrobials against pathogenic Gram-positives. In searching for marine bacteriocins, an antibacterial peptide (flexusin A) was purified from the fermentation broth of marine bacterium Bacillus flexus R29-2.

Characterization of a novel circular bacteriocin from Bacillus velezensis 1-3, and its mode of action against Listeria monocytogenes [PDF]

Heliyon
In this study, isolate Bacillus velezensis1-3 was selected out for its anti- Listeria potency, from which a novel circular bacteriocin, velezin, was purified out of the fermentate, and then characterized.

The Hungate1000 prokaryotic culture collection encodes a wide variety of bacteriocins [PDF]

mSystems
Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides/proteins that are widely distributed among bacteria and are gathering traction as natural alternatives to antibiotics, modulators of the microbiota, and interbacterial signaling peptides.

Bacillus safensis APC 4099 has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against both bacteria and fungi and produces several antimicrobial peptides, including the novel circular bacteriocin safencin E [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Bacillus safensis APC 4099, isolated from bees’ gut, has been identified as a promising candidate for food biopreservation. Antimicrobial activity screening revealed a broad-spectrum inhibition potential, ranging from gram-positive pathogenic bacteria to
