[Polypeptide composition and killer specificity as indices of multiplicity of carotovoricins].
A method of separation and purification of macromolecular bacteriocins of phytopathogenic bacterium Erwinia carotovora is proposed. It is shown on the basis of polypeptide composition of the particles and their killer specificity, that E. carotovora ESP86 is a complex defective-polylysogenic system which includes no less than three different types of biologically active tails of incomplete temperate bacteriophages.
