Abstract:

Bacteriocins are bacterially synthesized ribosomal antimicrobial peptides which hinder the growth of closely related or unrelated bacterial species. They are often compared to antibiotics due to their significant bactericidal properties. Reports suggest that almost all bacteria synthesize bacteriocins as a part of their innate immunity. Bacteriocin production is dependent on a number of process variables such as aeration, pH, temperature and the type of carbon and nitrogen source used. Bacteriocin applications are primarily focused on food preservation. However, resistance to conventional anti

The effects of bacteriocins produced by six strains of lactic acid bacteria on 9 mesophilic and 11 thermophilic commercial starter cultures were investigated in mixed cultures of commercial starters with bacteriocin-producing strains in milk. The bacteriocins produced by the test organisms were nisin A, nisin Z, lacticin 481, enterocin AS-48, a novel enterocin, and a novel plantaricin. Mesophilic commercial starters were in most cases tolerant of bacteriocins, with only two of the starters being partially inhibited, one by four and the other by two bacteriocins.

Abstract:

During the last few years, a large number of new bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been identified and characterized. LAB-bacteriocins comprise a heterogeneous group of physicochemically diverse ribosomally-synthesized peptides or proteins showing a narrow or broad antimicrobial activity spectrum against Gram-positive bacteria. Bacteriocins are classified into separate groups such as the lantibiotics (Class I); the small (<10 kDa) heat-stable postranslationally unmodified non-lantibiotics (Class II), further subdivided in the pediocin-like and anti Listeria bacterioci

Abstract:

SUMMARY Many bacteria produce antimicrobial peptides, which are also referred to as peptide bacteriocins. The class IIa bacteriocins, often designated pediocin-like bacteriocins, constitute the most dominant group of antimicrobial peptides produced by lactic acid bacteria. The bacteriocins that belong to this class are structurally related and kill target cells by membrane permeabilization. Despite their structural similarity, class IIa bacteriocins display different target cell specificities. In the search for new antibiotic substances, the class IIa bacteriocins have been identified as promi

Beta-hemolytic streptococci cause a variety of infectious diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have antimicrobial activity due to their bacteriocin production. Using bacteriocins in the production of foods has considerable contributions to improving food safety and extending shelf life. One of the essential characteristics of bacteriocins is that they have structural variations according to the variety of producers and, accordingly, they have different antimicrobial activity spectrums. Therefore, new bacteriocins still need to be investigated and characterized. In this study, bacteriocin-producing LAB were isolated from local fermented dairy of Bayburt and the

The ubiquitous production of antibacterial toxins, such as bacteriocins, is an ecologically significant class of interbacterial interactions that have primarily evolved through their indirect fitness benefits to the producer. Bacteria release bacteriocins into the environment at a cost to individual cell, but individual bacteriocin-producing cells are unlikely to gain any direct benefit from their own toxin; indeed, cell lysis is required in many species. There is a growing body of research describing the ecological conditions that can favour the evolution of bacteriocin production. However, a

Abstract:

A collection of 266 faecal isolates of Escherichia coli from humans was assayed for the production of mitomycin C-inducible bacteriocins and screened using a PCR-based method for the presence of eleven colicins and seven microcins. Eight different colicins were detected and all seven microcins. Of the strains examined, 38 % produced a bacteriocin, 24 % produced a colicin and 20 % produced a microcin. Of the 102 bacteriocin-producing strains, 42 % produced one type of bacteriocin, 41 % produced two, 16 % produced three and one strain was found to produce four different bacteriocins. Strains pro

Bacteriocins are ribosomal - synthesized antimicrobial peptides that inhibit the growing of pathogenic or deteriorating bacteria. Bacteriocin are a heterogenous group of bioactive bacterial peptides or proteins having variable biochemical properties. Bacteriocin is introduced to denote toxic proteins or peptide produced by any type of bacteria that is active on related bacteria but does not harm the producing cell. They are antimicrobial peptides which are ribosomally synthesized and produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). Now days, there are various hazardous effect of chemicals. Instead of c

Circular bacteriocins are potent antimicrobials against pathogenic Gram-positives. In searching for marine bacteriocins, an antibacterial peptide (flexusin A) was purified from the fermentation broth of marine bacterium Bacillus flexus R29-2.

In recent decades, bacteriocins have been actively studied as antimicrobial compounds. Bacteriocins have been primarily used to preserve food, but they are currently of increasing interest as potential clinical antimicrobial agents and possible immunomodulatory agents. Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been declared a global public health threat. Bacteriocins represent a potential solution to this worldwide threat due to their broad- or narrow-spectrum activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Numerous factors influence the potential activity of bacteriocins in food matrices.
