Modification and Assembly of a Versatile Lactonase for Bacterial Quorum Quenching [PDF]
Molecules, 2018 This work sets out to provide a self-assembled biopolymer capsule activated with a multi-functional enzyme for localized delivery. This enzyme, SsoPox, which is a lactonase and phosphotriesterase, provides a means of interrupting bacterial communication pathways that have been shown to mediate pathogenicity.

Substrate Specificity of Actinoplanes Antibiotic Peptide Lactonases [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1969 A constitutive peptide lactonase from Actinoplanes missouriensis hydrolyzed echinomycin, stendomycin, thiostrepton, vernamycin B, staphylomycin S, and etamycin. An induced lactonase hydrolyzed actinomycin but not the other peptide lactones.
