Bacteriocins are bacterially produced antimicrobial peptides with narrow or broad host
ranges. Many bacteriocins are produced by food-grade lactic acid bacteria, a phenomenon …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are of major interest in the food industry primarily by virtue of their
biopreservative properties. LAB have ability to produce various types of antimicrobial …

Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides or proteins produced by strains of diverse bacterial
species. The antimicrobial activity of this group of natural substances against foodborne …

Enterocin AS-48 is a circular bacteriocin produced by Enterococcus. It contains a 70 amino
acid-residue chain circularized by a head-to-tail peptide bond. The conformation of …

After the discovery of bacteriocin AS-48, a 70-residue cyclic peptide produced by
Enterococcus faecalis subsp. liquefaciens, some naturally-occurring cyclic proteins from …

Enterococcus faecalis UGRA10, a new AS-48-producer strain, has been isolated from a
Spanish sheep's cheese. The inhibitory substance produced by E. faecalis UGRA10 was …

Background Bacteriocins are generally defined as ribosomally synthesized peptides, which
are produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that affect the growth of related or unrelated …

Bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of antimicrobial
proteins/peptides, offering potential as biopreservatives, and exhibit a broad spectrum of …

Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a spoilage-causing bacterium in fruit juices. Control of this
bacterium by enterocin AS-48 from Enterococcus faecalis A-48-32 is described. Enterocin …

Bacteriocins are natural peptides secreted by several bacteria that exert bactericidal activity
against other bacterial species. Research in this topic is promoted not only by the need to …
