Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Lactic acid bacteria synthesize exopolysaccharides (EPS), which could benefit the host’s health as immunomodulators. Furthermore, EPS could protect bacteria against gastrointestinal stress, favoring gut colonization, thus protecting the host against ...

Conjugation in Gram-Positive Bacteria
Microbiology Spectrum, 2014 ABSTRACT Conjugative transfer is the most important means of spreading antibiotic resistance and virulence factors among bacteria. The key vehicles of this horizontal gene transfer are a group of mobile genetic elements, termed conjugative plasmids. Conjugative plasmids contain as minimum instrumentation an origin of transfer (

Mismatch repair in Gram-positive bacteria [PDF]
Research in Microbiology, 2016 DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is responsible for correcting errors formed during DNA replication. DNA polymerase errors include base mismatches and extra helical nucleotides referred to as insertion and deletion loops. In bacteria, MMR increases the fidelity of the chromosomal DNA replication pathway approximately 100-fold.

Sortase enzymes in Gram‐positive bacteria [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2011 SummaryIn Gram‐positive bacteria proteins are displayed on the cell surface using sortase enzymes. These cysteine transpeptidases join proteins bearing an appropriate sorting signal to strategically positioned amino groups on the cell surface. Working alone, or in concert with other enzymes, sortases either attach proteins to the cross‐bridge peptide ...

Small proteins in Gram-positive bacteria
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2023 Abstract Small proteins comprising less than 100 amino acids have been often ignored in bacterial genome annotations. About 10 years ago, focused efforts started to investigate whole peptidomes, which resulted in the discovery of a multitude of small proteins, but only a number of them have been characterized in detail.

Antimicrobial Peptides Targeting Gram-Positive Bacteria
Pharmaceuticals, 2016 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have remarkably different structures as well as biological activity profiles, whereupon most of these peptides are supposed to kill bacteria via membrane damage.
