Covering: through 2014 Many organisms team up with microbes for defense against
predators, parasites, parasitoids, or pathogens. Here we review the described protective …

Bacteriocins are a huge family of ribosomally synthesized peptides known to exhibit a range
of bioactivities, most predominantly antibacterial activities. Bacteriocins from lactic acid …

Animals in the wild are able to subsist on pathogen-infected and poisonous food and show
immunity to various diseases. These may be due to their microbiota, yet we have a poor …

Enterococci are lactic acid bacteria of importance in food, public health and medical
microbiology. Many strains produce bacteriocins, some of which have been well …

Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria,
which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food …

This review focuses on the structure and mode-of-action of non-lanthionine-containing
peptide bacteriocins produced by Gram-positive bacteria. These bacteriocins may be …

Most bacteriocins in gram-positive bacteria are small and heat stable (peptide bacteriocins),
and their antimicrobial activities are directed against a broader spectrum of bacteria than is …

The uropygial gland is a holocrine complex exclusive to birds that produces an oleaginous
secretion (preen oil) whose function is still debated. Herein, I examine critically the evidence …

Enterococci are common constituents of dairy products such as cheese, in which it is
