Staphylococcus aureus 462 is one of three bacteriocin-producing strains selected for study from 200 isolates of staphylococci of animal origin. These bacteriocins are specific in their activity, inhibiting the growth of certain strains of S. aureus and other gram-positive species, but not gram-negative organisms. Staphylococcin 462 was not found in significant concentrations in the supernatant fluid of broth cultures, nor was it released into the suspending liquid when the cells were…

Production, purification, and properties of a bacteriocin from Staphylococcus aureus isolated from saliva
TLDR
An analysis of the inhibitory spectrum among typical oral indigenous bacteria showed that Streptococcus salivarius, Propionibacterium acnes, Corynebacterium parvulum, and Actinomyces israelii were susceptible to the bacteriocin, which had a bactericidal effect on susceptible cells.

A Staphylococcus epidermidis isolate designated strain 115, which is used as an interfering agent against staphylococcosis of turkeys, produces a bacteriocin that was partially purified and…
Bacteriocin of a Group B Streptococcus: Partial Purification and Characterization
The production of bacteriocin-like inhibition by two of 135 strains of group B streptococci was demonstrated during the growth of these organisms on solid nutrient media. Although a variety of…

Viridins, Bacteriocins of Alpha-Hemolytic Streptococci: Isolation, Characterization, and Partial Purification
TLDR
Viridin B was bactericidal to a Neisseria sicca strain, it was only bacteriostatic against a coagulase-negative staphylococcus, and had some unusual properties including heat lability, a narrow pH range of activity, and lack of adsorptive capacity to susceptible bacteria.
Purification and characterization of a bacteriocin from Bacteroides fragilis
TLDR
The activity of the purified bacteriocin was not affected by RNase, DNase, phospholipase A, pancreatic lipase, or dextranase, but was destroyed by trypsin, proteinase K, heat, or a pH below 5 or above 8.
Purification, Properties, and Cytotoxic Effect of a Bacteriocin from Mycobacterium smegmatis
TLDR
The lethal effect of the bacteriocin was demonstrated by the decrease in viable counts of the microbial indicator strain, M. diernhoferi ATCC 19340, which inhibited the growth of HeLa-S3 cells.
Isolation and characterization of two bacteriocins produced by Enterococcus faecium strains inhibitory to Listeria monocytogenes.
Production, purification and chemical properties of an antistaphylococcal agent produced by Staphylococcus epidermidis.
TLDR
An antibacterial agent produced by Staphylococcus epidermidis strain 5 was isolated from culture supernatants; its spectrum of activity is restricted to staphylitis and micrococci and it was relatively heat-stable.

Characterization of a Staphylococcus aureus Bacteriocin
TLDR
Staphylococcin (414) is not a lytic enzyme like lysostaphin and does not have the same spectrum of activity, but like other bacteriocins from gram-positive microorganisms does not inhibit any gram-negative bacteria, but does inhibit several other genera.
PRESERVATION OF CULTURES BY DRYING ON PORCELAIN BEADS
TLDR
A new method of preservation on porous porcelain beads over anhydrous silica gel or calcium sulfate is described here, which has the advantage of requiring little specialized equipment and results in a preparation that can be sampled at different times.
