Novel insights into the biosynthesis and diversity of leaderless multipeptide bacteriocins
To decipher conserved features involved in production of these bacteriocins, genome mining was used to identify 11 candidates for new multipeptide bacteriocins; four were obtained synthetically and confirmed to be bioactive peptides inhibiting important pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes and enterococci.
