The bacteriocin family is the most abundant and diverse group of bacterial defense systems. Bacteriocins range from the well-studied narrow spectrum, high molecular weight colicins produced by Escherichia coli and the short polypeptide lantibiotics of lactic acid bacteria to the relatively unknown halocins produced almost universally by the haolobacteria.
