Aim: Aeribacillus pallidus PI8 is a Gram-positive thermophilic bacterium that produces thermostable antimicrobial substances against several bacterial species, including Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426. In the present study, we sought to identify genes of PI8 with antibacterial activity.
Methods And Results: We isolated, cloned, and characterized a thermostable bacteriocin from A.
Article Synopsis
- * The study found that when the pcn operon was expressed in E. coli, it was toxic, but B. subtilis tolerated it until the expression became constant, which then impaired its growth, indicating pcnA may be involved in making pallidocyclicin.
- * Additionally, B. subtilis with the full pcn operon could harm another thermophilic species at high temperatures, and the absence of one gene, pcnE, reduced its toxicity, suggesting
