BACTERIOCIN PEPTIDE

摘要

A peptide which is derived from a bacteriocin is described. The peptide has a molecular weight of 4629 which is about one-third the apparent molecular weight of the naturally occurring bacteriocin of 16,500. The peptide can be derived by purification of the natural bacteriocin or can be derived chemically. The bacteriocin has a high activity against Listeria monocytogenes and other bacteria.
