title: [Nature of bacteriocins].
abstract: The bacteriocins comprise a large, heterogeneous group of bactericidal substances produced by bacteria from widely differing species. The best known bacteriocins are the colicins. Some aspects of research on colicins are discussed especially their chemical nature and mode of action, and their genetic determinants.
