Abstract excerpt
A novel lantibiotic identified during the screening of 187 coagulase-negative staphylococci, has been structurally characterised. (Val1, Leu6)-epidermin was purified from culture supernatants of two Staphylococcus epidermidis strains, BN-V1 and BN-V301 following successive separation by adsorption, cation exchange and C18 reversed-phase chromatography. Separation of the purified peptides by SDS-polyacrylamide gel...
