Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNew Antifungal Bacteriocin-Synthesizing Strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis as the Perspective Biopreservatives for Protection of Raw Smoked SausagesL.G. Stoyanova, E.A. Ustyugova, T.D. Sultimova et al.Problem statement: Screening for the effective bacteriocin-synthesizing strains of Lactococcus lactis as the perspective biopreservatives was performed. We used a raw milk and dairy products from different climatic regions as well as from powerful drinks of mixed lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation: kurunga, kumiss and Iranian “Dough”, that were widely used by local population to prevent diseases. Approach: The special … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,683 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIsolation of the Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptide Subtilosin a from a Gut-Associated Bacillus subtilis StrainGhislain Schyns, Claudia R. Serra, Adriano O. Henriques et al.The endospore-forming Bacillus subtilis has been used as probiotics over the last 50 years. However, little is known on how Bacillus spp act in the gut compared to other well-characterized probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria. It is believed that the competitive exclusion of pathogens results from different mode of action notably the production of antimicrobial compounds such as bacteriocins. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,678 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntimicrobial Activity Studies of Bactoriocin Produced by Lactobacilli Isolates from Carrot KanjiHarshada M. Sowani, Prakash ThoratProblem statement: In the present study, Staphylococcus aureus a causative agent of food poisoning is selected as a test organism to study the antimicrobial effect of bacteriocin. S. aureus produces number of exotoxins and enterotoxins which enters the body via contaminated food causing illness. Approach: In this case the use of antibiotics is one of the ways of treatment, but … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2012 · 8,543 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntibiotic Compounds from Bacillus: Why are they so Amazing?Patrick FickersThe constant increase of multi-drug resistant pathogens stimulates research, more than ever, to identify and develop new antibacterial compounds. The recent advances in genome sequencing have highlighted the genus Bacillus as an unexpected source of antibiotic-like compounds. This review focus on the different class of antimicrobial molecules produce by Bacillus genus such as polyketides, nonribosomal peptide, bacteriocins as well as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2012 · 9,684 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Potential Probiotic Escherichia coli Strains from Rat Faecal SamplesPrasant Kumar, S. Ferzin, S. Chintan, G. Naresh KumarProblem statement: Gastrointestinal disorders mainly diarrhea is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among infants and children in the developing countries occurs due to infection by enteropathogens. Ccontrol of these pathogens could be achieved by nonpathogenic Escherichia coli producing bacteriocins. Approach: Primary aim of this study was to isolate E. coli strains which inhibit enteropathogens. For this purpose, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,417 accessesView PDF Cite
