Abstract The use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) synthesized
by bacteria (bacteriocins) is an alternative for combating multidrug
resistant bacterial strains and their production by recombinant route
is a viable option for their mass production. The bacteriocin E-760
isolated from the genus Enterococcus sp. has been shown to possess
inhibitory activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive
bacteria. In this study, the expression of a chimeric protein coding
for E-760 in the nucleus of C. reinhardtii was evaluated, as well as,
its antibacterial activity. The synthetic gene E-760S was inserted
into the genome of C. reinhardtii using Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
A transgenic line was identified… More >
