TL;DR: Improvements brought to BACTIBASE include incorporation of various tools for bacteriocin analysis, such as homology search, multiple sequence alignments, Hidden Markov Models, molecular modelling and retrieval through the taxonomy Browser.

TL;DR: A new database, PhytAMP, is developed, which contains valuable information on antimicrobial plant peptides, including taxonomic, microbiological and physicochemical data, which allows rapid prediction of structure/function relationships and target organisms and hence better exploitation of plant peptide biological activities in both the pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors.

TL;DR: The yeasts constitute a large and heterogeneous group of microorganisms that are currently attracting increased attention from scientists and industry, and their antagonistic activities toward undesirable bacteria, and fungi are now widely known.

TL;DR: Although bacteriocins have been predominantly exploited as food preservatives, they are now receiving increased attention as potential clinical antimicrobials and as possible immune-modulating agents.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used nisin Z monoclonal antibodies to quantify, using a competitive enzyme immunoassay, and visualize, using transmission electron microscopy, nisinZ Nisin Z was entrapped in different liposomes with encapsulation efficiencies (EE) ranging from 95% to 47%.
