Bacteriocins: molecules of fundamental impact on the microbial ecology and potential food biopreservatives

Bacteriocins are proteic molecules synthesized for various lineages of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria when exposed to stressful conditions. Bacteriocins have been characterized as molecules of high antimicrobial property even at low concentrations, provoking the microbial survival inhibiti...
