title: Sakacin g, a new type of antilisterial bacteriocin.
abstract: Sakacin G is a 37-amino-acid-residue-long class IIa bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus sake 2512, which is encoded by the duplicated structural genes skgA1 and skgA2. Sakacin G appears to be unique and seems to be an intermediate between pediocin-like bacteriocins, according to its double-disulfide bridges required for antimicrobial activity, and mesentericin-like bacteriocins in terms of sequence homologies, inhibition spectrum, and specific activity.
