TL;DR: A novel antibiotic peptide is isolated from the culture medium of Emericellopsis alkalina that exhibited a strong antifungal effect against the yeast Candida albicans, the mold fungus Aspergillus niger, and human pathogen clinical isolates and exhibited antimicrobial activity against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

TL;DR: The data suggest that indolicidin damages the DNA, but bacterial membrane perturbation is its principal mode of action.

TL;DR: Data indicate that black seed thionins are biologically active molecules that may be considered to be perspective antibacterial agents, such as bactericidal and fungicidal effects.

TL;DR: The mechanism of 2,4-DAPG action on model bacterial strains was investigated using fluorescent spectroscopy and the action of the antibiotic was found to involve a rapid increase in membrane permeability that was accompanied by a reduction in its viability in nutrient-poor medium.

TL;DR: The novelty of this bacteriocin, named enterocin-7, was confirmed by N-terminal sequencing and by comparing the structural-functional properties with available data, and displayed a broad spectrum of activity against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms.
