Abstract excerpt
Plantaricins are a group of ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides in Lactobacillus plantarum that exert antimicrobial activities against some foodborne pathogens. In this study, we observed that plantaricin E in L. plantarum 163 was missing 19 amino acids (plnE mutant amino acid sequence: FNRGGYNFGKSVRH, plnE amino acid sequence: FNRGGYNFGKSVRHVVDAIGSVAGIRGILKSIR). In order to study the effects of mutant...
