Abstrakt: Bacteriocins are potent antibacterial proteins that selectively kill phylogenetic relatives of the producer. Their polymorphic nature, most prominent in γ-Proteobacteria, offers potential for the design of customized bacteriocin cocktails targeting Gram-negative pathogens. As an alternative to recombinant production in bacteria, they are eligible for large-scale production in plants.
