In the subcontinent, Companions, followers, followers of and narrators came at different times continued to perform duties spreading Islam here. The books Asma 'ul-Rijal turning pages history show that according a conservative estimate, about five Companions visited India, including' Uthman ibn Abi al-'As Saqafi his brothers, 'Abdullah ibn' Umayr, Sahl 'Adi Malik, Syedna Asim bin Amr Majasha Th...

Epicidin 280 is a novel type A lantibiotic produced by Staphylococcus epidermidis BN 280. During C18 reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography two epicidin 280 peaks were obtained; the two compounds had molecular masses of 3,133 +/- 1.5 and 3,136 +/- 1.5 Da, comparable antibiotic activities, and identical amino acid compositions. Amino acid sequence analysis revealed that epicidin 28...

sometimes devastating diseases in humans, animals, and crops. Furthermore, resistance against antimicrobial drugs is steadily increasing. There is thus an urgent need to discover new antimicrobial drugs and drug targets. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are widespread in nature and produced naturally by animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria (Zasloff, 2002). These secreted peptides typically act as ...

The biosynthetic gene cluster (12.3 kb) of mersacidin, a lanthionine-containing antimicrobial peptide, is located on the chromosome of the producer, Bacillus sp. strain HIL Y-85,54728 in a region that corresponds to 348 degrees on the chromosome of Bacillus subtilis 168. It consists of 10 open reading frames and contains, in addition to the previously described mersacidin structural gene mrsA (...
