Background The bacteriocin nisin is naturally produced by Lactococcus lactis as an inactive
prepeptide that is modified posttranslationally resulting in five (methyl-) lanthionine rings …

Aims Increases in antimicrobial resistance have meant that the antimicrobial potential of
lantibiotics is now being investigated irrespective of the nature of the producing organism …

Nisin is an important antimicrobial peptide that has enormous applications in biotechnology.
Despite many encouraging efforts, its overproduction has been a long-standing challenge …

Nisin A is a pentacyclic peptide antibiotic produced by Lactococcus lactis. The leader
peptide of prenisin keeps nisin inactive and has a role in inducing NisB-and NisC-catalyzed …

The antimicrobial peptide, nisin, produced by several strains of Lactococcus lactis, which
belongs to the Class I bacteriocins called lantibiotics, is a small (3.4 kDa), 34-amino acid …

Nisin is the prototypical example of the lantibiotic family of antimicrobial peptides and has
been employed as a food preservative for over half a century. It has also attracted attention …

Nisin (NisA) is an antimicrobial peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis and belongs to the
class of lanthipeptides, more specifically to the class of lantibiotics. They are ribosomally …

The lantibiotic nisin is an antimicrobial peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis. As with all
lantibiotics, nisin contains a number of dehydro‐residues and thioether amino acids that …

Several Lactococcus lactis strains produce the lantibiotic nisin. The dedicated enzymes NisB
and NisC and the transporter NisT modify and secrete the ribosomally synthesized nisin …

The lantibiotic nisin is a ribosomally synthesised and post-translationally modified
antimicrobial peptide produced by strains of Lactococcus lactis, and used as safe and …
