Spring 2011
Several obstacles to widespread use of bacteriocins in food have been identified, including lack of specific, rapid quantitation methods, and little data on their efficacy in food systems. The first objective of this study was to develop a specific, rapid quantitation method for bacteriocins...

Spheroidal gall formation and seedborne infestation by Plasmodiophora brassicae as overlooked aspects of clubroot biology and epidemiology
DownloadFall 2011
Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot, can infect many species of the Brassicaceae. Infection results in the formation of galls on the roots of susceptible plants. Most galls are spindle-shaped, but spheroid galls can also develop and are regarded as resistance structures....

Paenibacillus polymyxa NRRL B-30509, Paenibacillus terrae NRRL B-30644 and P. polymyxa NRRL B-30507 were found to produce several bacteriocins and non-ribosomal peptides. All three strains produce tridecaptins, non-ribosomal lipopeptides antimicrobially active against food pathogen Campylobacter...

Thuricin CD, a two-component bacteriocin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis DPC 6431, exhibits potent activity against the hospital superbug Clostridium difficile ribotype O27. The two peptides (Trn-α and Trn-β) that constitute thuricin CD operate synergistically to kill sensitive bacteria at...

Enterocin 7 is a two-component, leaderless bacteriocin comprised of an A and B peptide and produced by Enterococcus faecalis 710C. The secondary structure of enterocin 7B was investigated through circular dichroism. A high degree of α-helicity was discovered by circular dichroism, regardless of...

Acidocin B (AcdB), a bacteriocin from Lactobacillus acidophilus M46 that was initially reported to be a linear peptide, was purified and shown to be circular based on MALDI-TOF MS and MS/MS sequencing. MS analysis further revealed that AcdB is comprised of 58 amino acid residues, instead of 59...
