The Diversity of Bacteriocins in Gram-Negative Bacteria -- Molecular Evolution of Bacteriocins in Gram-Negative Bacteria -- The Diversity of Bacteriocins in Gram-Positive Bacteria -- Peptide and Protein Antibiotics from the Domain Archaea: Halocins and Sulfolobicins -- The Ecological and Evolutionary Dynamics of Model Bacteriocin Communities -- Bacteriocins' Role in Bacterial Communication
Summary
Microbes produce an array of defence systems. These include bacteriocins, a class of antimicrobial molecules with narrow killing spectra. This book describes the diversity and ecological role of bacteriocins of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It also discusses the molecular evolution of colicins and colicin-like bacteriocins
