Detection and Characterization of Weissellicin 110, a Bacteriocin Produced by Weissella cibaria

Background: Weissellicin 110 is the only bacteriocin reported in Weissella cibaria up to now. This bacteriocin represents several unique features. This is the first report on the gene sequence that encodes for the bacteriocin. Objectives: Providing a rapid detection method to isolate the weissellicin 110 encoding gene and determination of the bacteriocin distribution were the objectives. Materi...

Groningen Mutational analysis and chemical modification of Cys 24 of lactococcin B , a bacteriocin produced

Solution structure of acidocin B, a circular bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus acidophilus M46.

Acidocin B, a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus acidophilus M46, was originally reported to be a linear peptide composed of 59 amino acid residues. However, its high sequence similarity to gassericin A, a circular bacteriocin from Lactobacillus gasseri LA39, suggested that acidocin B might be circular as well. Acidocin B was purified from culture supernatant by a series of hydrophobic inter...

Genetic analysis of acidocin B, a novel bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus acidophilus.

The genes encoding the production of acidocin B, a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus acidophilus strain M46 which is active against Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium sporogenes, Brochothrix thermosphacta, Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, but inactive against most other Lactobacillus species, were previously localized on a 4 kb XbaI-HindIII fragment ...

Interactions between Neisseria sicca and viridin B, a bacteriocin produced by Streptococcus mitis.

Viridin B, a bacteriocin produced by Streptococcus mitis (mitior), is bactericidal to Neisseria sicca. Oxygen consumption by actively growing N. sicca cultures ceased immediately upon exposure to viridin B. Adenosine triphosphate production was slightly enhanced within 1 h of exposure to the bacteriocin but was subsequently repressed. The uptake and incorporation of glucose was prevented in the...
