Title
Bacteriocins Ecology and Evolution / edited by Margaret A. Riley, Milind A. Chavan.
Physical Description
X, 150 p. 15 illus., 4 illus. in color. online resource.
Contents
The Diversity of Bacteriocins in Gram-Negative Bacteria -- Molecular Evolution of Bacteriocins in Gram-Negative Bacteria -- The Diversity of Bacteriocins in Gram-Positive Bacteria -- Peptide and Protein Antibiotics from the Domain Archaea: Halocins and Sulfolobicins -- The Ecological and Evolutionary Dynamics of Model Bacteriocin Communities -- Bacteriocins' Role in Bacterial Communication.
Summary
Microbes produce an extraordinary array of defense systems. These include bacteriocins, a class of antimicrobial molecules with narrow killing spectra, produced by bacteria. The book describes the diversity and ecological role of bacteriocins of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, presenting a new classification scheme for the former and a state-of-the-art look at the role of bacteriocins in bacterial communication. It discusses the molecular evolution of colicins and colicin-like bacteriocins, and provides a contemporary overview of archaeocins, bacteriocin-like antimicrobials produced by archaebacteria. Furthermore, various modeling (in silico) studies elucidate the role of bacteriocins in microbial community dynamics and fitness, delving into rock-paper-scissors competition and the counter-intuitive survival of the weakest. The book makes compelling reading for a multi-faceted scientific audience, including those working in the fields of biodiversity and biotechnology, notably in the human and animal health domain.
