Determination of the effect of the bacteriocin enterocin AS-48 on the microbial loads and bacterial diversity of blueberries

Heliyon, 2023
Fresh fruits have been involved in transmission of foodborne pathogens. In the present work, five different batches of blueberries were used. One aliquot from each batch was washed with sterile saline solution (SSS) and the other one with a solution of ...

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

Plantaricin A Is an Amphiphilic α-Helical Bacteriocin-like Pheromone Which Exerts Antimicrobial and Pheromone Activities through Different Mechanisms [PDF]

, 1998
Production of bacteriocins by lactic acid bacteria is in some cases regulated by a quorum sensing mechanism that involves a secreted bacteriocin-like peptide pheromone. In the case of Lactobacillus plantarum C11, this pheromone, the 26-mer plantaricin A (

Unraveling the Uncharacterized Domain of Carocin S2: A Ribonuclease Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum Bacteriocin

Microorganisms, 2022
Carocin S2 is a bacteriocin with a low molecular weight generated by Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum 3F3 strain. The caroS2K gene, which is found in the genomic DNA alongside the caroS2I gene, which codes for an immunity protein, encodes ...

Complete genome sequence of functional probiotic candidate Lactobacillus amylovorus CACC736

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2023
Lactobacillus amylovorus CACC736 was originated from swine feces in Korea. The complete genome sequences of the strain contained one circular chromosome (2,057,809 base pair [bp]) with 38.2% guanine-cytosine (GC) content and two circular plasmids, namely,

Synthetic Peptide Libraries Designed From a Minimal Alpha-Helical Domain of AS-48-Bacteriocin Homologs Exhibit Potent Antibacterial Activity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The circularized bacteriocin enterocin AS-48 produced by Enterococcus sp. exhibits antibacterial activity through membrane disruption. The membrane-penetrating activity of enterocin AS-48 has been attributed to a specific alpha-helical region on the ...

Synergy of the Bacteriocin AS-48 and Antibiotics against Uropathogenic Enterococci

Antibiotics, 2020
The genus Enterococcus comprises a ubiquitous group of Gram-positive bacteria that can cause diverse health care-associated infections. Their genome plasticity enables easy acquisition of virulence factors as well as antibiotic resistances. Urinary tract
