Binomial name Escherichia coli T.

BioPortfolio News : Chromosome-encoded microcins may constitute a defined subgroup of peptide antibiotics (374 words)
"Microcins are ribosomally synthesized peptide antibiotics that are produced by Enterobacterial strains.
Microcins thus acquire the ability to enter gram-negative cells through the catechol receptors.
The researchers concluded: "The results presented herein lead us to propose that chromosome-encoded microcins constitute a defined subgroup of peptide antibiotics which are strictly related by their modes of synthesis, secretion, and uptake."
