Bacteriocins of Aquatic Microorganisms and Their Potential Applications in the Seafood Industry

摘要: Bacteriocins are potent antimicrobial polypeptides and proteins produced by most lineages of Bacteria and, perhaps, all members Archaea (O'Connor & Shand, 2002; Riley Wertz, 2002a, 2002b; Tagg et al., 1976). Although initially the focus numerous biochemical, evolutionary, ecological studies, more recently, their potential to serve in human animal health applications has taken center stage (Gillor 2008). The use bacteriocins probiotic applications, as preservatives, (most excitingly) alternatives classical antibiotics is being broadly explored (Abee 1995; Einarsson Lauzon, Gillor Ghazaryan, 2007; 2007).
