Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus A70 produces a heat-stable bacteriocin designated aureocin A70. Aureocin A70 is encoded within a mobilisable 8 kb plasmid, pRJ6, and is active against Listeria monocytogenes. Experiments of transposition mutagenesis and gene cloning had shown that aureocin A70 production and immunity were associated with the HindIII-A and B fragments of pRJ6. Therefore, a 6332 bp region of the plasmid,...
