Evolutionary radiation of lanthipeptides in marine cyanobacteria [PDF]
, 2018 Lanthipeptides are ribosomally derived peptide secondary metabolites that undergo extensive posttranslational modification. Prochlorosins are a group of lanthipeptides produced by certain strains of the ubiquitous marine picocyanobacteria Prochlorococcus

Bioengineering of the model lantibiotic nisin [PDF]
Bioengineered, 2015 The lantibiotics are a class of bacterially produced antimicrobial peptides (bacteriocins) that contain several unusual amino acids resulting from enzyme-mediated post-translational modifications. They exhibit high specific activity against Gram-positive targets, including many antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and consequently have been investigated ...

Production of the novel two-peptide lantibiotic lichenicidin by Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: Lantibiotics are small microbial peptide antibiotics that are characterized by the presence of the thioether amino acids lanthionine and methyllanthionine. Lantibiotics possess structural genes which encode inactive prepeptides.

Production, purification, sequencing and activity spectra of mutacins D-123.1 and F-59.1 [PDF]
, 2011 Background The increase in bacterial resistance to antibiotics impels the development of new anti-bacterial substances. Mutacins (bacteriocins) are small antibacterial peptides produced by Streptococcus mutans showing activity against bacterial pathogens.

Microbial Physiology, 2007 Lanthionine-containing peptide antibiotics called lantibiotics are produced by a large number of Gram-positive bacteria. Nukacin ISK-1 produced by <i>Staphylococcus warneri</i> ISK-1 is type-A(II) lantibiotic. Ribosomally synthesized nukacin ISK-1 prepeptide (NukA) consists of an N-terminal leader peptide followed by a C-terminal propeptide

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...

New CHARMM force field parameters for dehydrated amino acid residues, the key to lantibiotic molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
, 2014 Lantibiotics are an important class of naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides containing unusual dehydrated amino acid residues. In order to enable molecular dynamics simulations of lantibiotics, we have developed empirical force field parameters for

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.The novel Paenibacillus sp. strain 210, isolated from Brazilian crude oil, its genome encoding 259 carbohydrate‐active enzymes for degrading cellulose, xylan, and pectin, positioning it as a candidate for biofuel production. The strain harbors complete pathways for B‐vitamin biosynthesis and antimicrobial biosynthetic clusters (e.g., fusaricidin and ...

Bacterial antagonist mediated protein molecules [PDF]
, 2013 Bacterial antagonism mediated by ribosomally synthesised peptides has gained considerable attention in recent years because of its potential applications in the control of undesirable microbiota. These peptides, generally referred to as bacteriocins, are
