Abstract excerpt

Mutacin-producing strains have been classified into 24 groups (designated by letters A to X) by similarity in activity spectra and cross-immunity. Similarity in primary structure among these groups can be revealed using DNA hybridization. The amino acid sequences of four mutacins (B-Ny266, 1140/mutacin III and mutacin II) were used to design two DNA probes in order to detect similar genes among groups of...
