Bacteriocins and its applications: mini-review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Bacteriocins are molecules with antibacterial activity, which makes them important tools for
human use. Currently, these molecules show promise for food preservation without chemical
additives and for the clinical treatment of bacterial infections. Some favorable characteristics
of bacteriocins are their synergy with other bacteria and their activity against biofilms.
Biotechnological strategies such as the activation of biosynthetic groups of genes, induction
by genetic engineering or co-cultures, and incorporation in bioprocesses, can make the use of
these molecules in different industries increasingly closer. The objective of this mini literature
review is to offer recent and updated information on the applications of bacteriocins in the fields
of health, agronomy and industry, from a biotechnological perspective.
