Class IIa Bacteriocins: Diversity and New Developments

Class IIa Bacteriocins: Diversity and New Developments

Class IIa bacteriocins are heat-stable, unmodified peptides with a conserved amino acids sequence YGNGV on their N-terminal domains, and have received much attention due to their generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status, their high biological activity, and their excellent heat stability. They are...
