Preferred Label : Pediocins;
MeSH definition : Bacteriocins produced by species of PEDIOCOCCUS. They range from 3.5-4.6 kDa in mass,
contain a conserved YGNGVXCXK motif and beta sheet at their N-terminals, and a more
diverse hydrophobic or amphiphilic C-terminal alpha helical domain. They function
as antimicrobial peptides against several pathogenic species of GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA,
including LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES and are useful as FOOD PRESERVATIVES.; Bacteriocins produced by species of PEDIOCOCCUS. They range from 3.5-4.6 kDa in mass,
