Abstract excerpt
Microcin R51 is plasmid-determined low-molecular-weight peptide antibiotic produced by Escherichia coli. The spectrum of its action includes many different species of gram negative and some gram positive bacteria. Microcinogenic strains are immune to the action of the microcin they synthesize. As shown earlier, genes responsible for MccR51 production and immunity are located in a continuous 11.1 kb DNA fragment....
