Sensitivity to the two peptide bacteriocin plantaricin EF is dependent on CorC, a membrane‐bound, magnesium/cobalt efflux protein

Abstract Lactic acid bacteria produce a variety of antimicrobial peptides known as bacteriocins. Most bacteriocins are understood to kill sensitive bacteria through receptor‐mediated disruptions. Here, we report on the identification of the Lactobacillus plantarum plantaricin EF (PlnEF) receptor. Sp...
