Identification of a new plasmid-encoded sec-dependent bacteriocin produced by Listeria innocua 743
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the Listeria innocua 743, a food-born pathogen responsible for the spontaneous abortions. The characterization of the bacteriocin-like activity produced by this bacterium has been carried out, and the results indicate that this isolate produces two different inhibitors.

Bactericidal activity of glycinecin A, a bacteriocin derived from Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines, on phytopathogenic Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria cells
Article Abstract:
The mode of action of glycinecin A on Zanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria cells, using purified chimeric glycinecin A, was determined. The results suggest that the bactericidal mechanism of action of glycinecin A is correlated with the permeability of membranes to hydroxyl and potassium ions, leading to the lethal activity of the bacteriocin on the target bacteria.
