Spring 2016
The lipopeptides, tridecaptin A1, tridecaptin B1 and cerexin A1 were isolated from Paenibacillus terrae NRRL B-30644, Paenibacillus polymyxa NRRL B-30507 and Bacillus mycoides ATCC 21929, respectively. A combination of chemical synthesis, peptide derivatization, high performance liquid...

Fall 2014
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...

Synthesis and biological evaluation of the lantibiotic peptide lactocin S and its analogues
DownloadSpring 2012
Lantibiotics (lanthionine containing antibiotics) are highly post-translationally modified peptides used by bacteria as a form of chemical warfare. In light of the challenges faced today in the field of antibacterial therapy, these potent natural products are useful lead compounds for the...
