A novel α-amylase gene (BAA) from was cloned into , designing two recombinant α-amylases to facilitate extracellular secretion. Following optimizing the expression conditions, the highest yield of BAA (88.12 mmol/L) was achieved upon 36 h induction and 5 ng/mL nisin concentration.

Article Synopsis
- Carnobacterium maltaromaticum is a type of lactic acid bacteria that can produce various bacteriocins, which are useful in biotechnological applications.
- The study introduces a new strain, C. maltaromaticum CM22, isolated from a salmon gut, which produces a unique bacteriocin called piscicolin CM22.
- This bacteriocin shows antimicrobial activity against certain harmful Gram-positive bacteria but is ineffective against Gram-negative species, suggesting potential for applications in the agri-food industry.
Xylanases have broad applications in the food industry to decompose the complex carbohydrate xylan. This is applicable to enhance juice clarity, improve dough softness, or reduce beer turbidity. It can also be used to produce prebiotics and increase the nutritional value in foodstuff.

- * Antimicrobial peptides like AS-48, a potent bacteriocin, show promise against various human pathogens due to their unique ability to disrupt bacterial membranes without relying on specific receptors.
- * AS-48 has low toxicity and maintains effectiveness against antibiotic-resistant strains, demonstrating stability across different conditions and minimal impact on healthy eukaryotic cells, making it a strong candidate for treating a range of infections.
