Bioinformatic prospecting and phylogenetic analysis reveals 94 undescribed circular bacteriocins and key motifs

Abstract Background Circular bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria with a N and C termini ligation. They have desirable properties such as activity at low concentrations along with thermal, pH and proteolytic resistance. There are twenty experimentally confirmed circular bacte...
