Popis: Lactococcus lactis F10, isolated from freshwater catfish, produces a bacteriocin (BacF) active against Staphylococcus aureus , Staphylococcus carnosus , Lactobacillus curvatus , Lactobacillus plantarum , and Lactobacillus reuteri . The operon encoding BacF is located on a plasmid. Sequencing of the structural gene revealed no homology to other nisin genes. Nisin F is described.
