An antimicrobial peptide specifically active against Listeria monocytogenes is secreted by Bacillus pumilus SF214
Abstract Background Members of the Bacillus genus produce a large variety of antimicrobial peptides including linear or cyclic lipopeptides and thiopeptides, that often have a broad spectrum of action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.We have recently reported that SF214, a marine isolated strain of Bacillus pumilus, produces two dif
