Distribution and diversity of glycocin biosynthesis gene clusters beyond Firmicutes
2 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Glycocins are the ribosomally synthesized glycosylated bacteriocins discovered and characterized in Firmicutes, only. These peptides have antimicrobial activity against several pathogenic bacteria, including Streptococcus pyogenes , methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and food-spoilage bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. Glycocins exhibit immunostimulatory properties and make a promising source of new...
