Lanthipeptides are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides
(RiPPs) that display a wide variety of biological activities, from antimicrobial to antiallodynic …

Due to the appearance of antibiotic resistance and the toxicity associated with currently used
antibiotics, peptide antibiotics are the need of the hour. Thus, demand for new antimicrobial …

Lactic acid bacteria produce a variety of bacteriocins that have recently come under detailed
investigation. The biochemical and genetic characteristics of these antimicrobial proteins are …

In recent years, a group of antibacterial proteins produced by gram-positive bacteria have
attracted great interest in their potential use as food preservatives and as antibacterial …

▪ Abstract Microbes produce an extraordinary array of microbial defense systems. These
include classical antibiotics, metabolic by-products, lytic agents, numerous types of protein …

The cell wall envelope of gram-positive bacteria is a macromolecular, exoskeletal organelle
that is assembled and turned over at designated sites. The cell wall also functions as a …

The lactococcal bacteriocin named nisin (or group N inhibitory substance) was first marketed
in England in 1953 and since then has been approved for use in over 48 countries. The …

The lantibiotics are a group of ribosomally synthesised, post-translationally modified
peptides containing unusual amino acids, such as dehydrated and lanthionine residues …

The kinetics, control, and efficiency of nisin-induced expression directed by the nisA
promoter region were studied in Lactococcus lactis with transcriptional and translational …

Lantibiotics are gene-encoded peptides that contain intramolecular ring structures,
introduced through the thioether containing lanthionine and methyllanthionine residues. The …
