Identification of Enterocin NKR-5-3C, a Novel Class Ila Bacteriocin Produced by a Multiple Bacteriocin Producer, Enterococcus faecium NKR-5-3.

The article discusses the role of Enterococcus (E.) faecium NKR-5-3 in the identification of NKR-5-3C Enterocin bacteriocin. It says that mass spectral analysis and purification has revealed the ability of E. faecium to produce bacteriocin-like peptides. It adds that NKR-5-3C contains two disulfide bridges and YGNGL motif sequence in its structure.
