Abstract
Advancements in food science and technology have paved the way for the development of natural antimicrobial compounds to ensure the safety and quality of meat and meat products. Among these compounds, bacteriocin produced by lactic acid bacteria has gained considerable scientific attention for its ability to preserve the healthy properties of meat while preventing spoilage. This natural preservative is seen as a pioneering tool and a potent alternative to chemical preservatives and heat treatment, which can have harmful effects on the nutritional and sensory qualities of meat. Bacteriocin produced by lactic acid bacteria can be used in various forms, including as starter/protective cultures for fermented meats, purified or partially purified forms, loaded in active films/coatings, or established in encapsulate systems. This review delves into the downstream purification schemes of LAB bacteriocin, the elucidation of their characteristics, and their modes of action. Additionally, the application of LAB bacteriocins in meat and meat products is examined in detail. Overall, the use of LAB bacteriocins holds immense potential to inspire innovation in the meat industry, reducing the dependence on harmful chemical additives and minimizing the adverse effects of heat treatment on nutritional and sensory qualities. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the potential of bacteriocin produced by lactic acid bacteria as a natural and effective meat preservative.

Abstract
Often referred to as the "second genome", the human microbiome is at the epicenter of complex inter-habitat biochemical networks like the "gut-brain axis", which has emerged as a significant determinant of cognition, overall health and well-being, as well as resistance to antibiotics and susceptibility to diseases. As part of a broader understanding of the nexus between the human microbiome, diseases and microbial interactions, whether encoded secondary metabolites (natural products) play crucial signalling roles has been the subject of intense scrutiny in the recent past. A major focus of these activities involves harvesting the genomic potential of the human microbiome via bioinformatics guided genome mining and culturomics. Through these efforts, an impressive number of structurally intriguing antibiotics, with enhanced chemical diversity vis-à-vis conventional antibiotics have been isolated from human commensal bacteria, thereby generating considerable interest in their total synthesis and expanding their therapeutic space for drug discovery. These developments augur well for the discovery of new drugs and antibiotics, particularly in the context of challenges posed by mycobacterial resistance and emerging new diseases. The current landscape of various synthetic campaigns and drug discovery initiatives on antibacterial natural products from the human microbiome is captured in this review with an intent to stimulate further activities in this interdisciplinary arena among the new generation.

Abstract
Peptidoglycan is a carbohydrate with a cross-linked structure that protects the cytoplasmic membrane of bacterial cells from damage. The mechanism of peptidoglycan biosynthesis involves the main synthesizing enzyme glycosyltransferase MurG, which is known as a potential target for antibiotic therapy. Many MurG inhibitors have been recognized as MurG targets, but high toxicity and drug-resistant Escherichia coli strains remain the most important problems for further development. In addition, the discovery of selective MurG inhibitors has been limited to the synthesis of peptidoglycan-mimicking compounds. The present study employed drug discovery, such as virtual screening using molecular docking, drug likeness ADMET proprieties predictions, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, to identify potential natural products (NPs) for Escherichia coli. We conducted a screening of 30,926 NPs from the NPASS database. Subsequently, 20 of these compounds successfully passed the potency, pharmacokinetic, ADMET screening assays, and their validation was further confirmed through molecular docking. The best three hits and the standard were chosen for further MD simulations up to 400 ns and energy calculations to investigate the stability of the NPs-MurG complexes. The analyses of MD simulations and total binding energies suggested the higher stability of NPC272174. The potential compounds can be further explored in vivo and in vitro for promising novel antibacterial drug discovery.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial pathogens is a worldwide health issue. The innovation gap in discovering new antibiotics has remained a significant hurdle in combating the AMR problem. Currently, antibiotics target various vital components of the bacterial cell envelope, nucleic acid and protein biosynthesis machinery and metabolic pathways essential for bacterial survival. The critical role of the bacterial cell envelope in cell morphogenesis and integrity makes it an attractive drug target. While a significant number of in-clinic antibiotics target peptidoglycan biosynthesis, several components of the bacterial cell envelope have been overlooked. This review focuses on various antibacterial targets in the bacterial cell wall and the strategies employed to find their novel inhibitors. This review will further elaborate on combining forward and reverse chemical genetic approaches to discover antibacterials that target the bacterial cell envelope.

Abstract
Lantibiotics are believed to have a conceivable potential to be used as therapeutics, especially against clinically resistant bacterial strains. However, their low solubility and poor stability under physiological conditions limit their availability for clinical studies and further pharmaceutical commercialization. Nisin is a readily available and cheap lanthipeptide and thus serves as a good model in the search for the tools to engineer lantibiotics with improved pharmacological properties. This review aims to address technologies that can be applied to alter and enhance the antimicrobial activity, antibacterial spectrum and physicochemical properties (solubility, solution stability and protease resistance) of nisin. There are basically two general means to obtain nisin analogs-protein engineering and chemical functionalization of this antibiotic. Although bioengineering techniques have been well developed and enable the creation of nisin mutants of variable structures and properties, they are lacking spectacular effects so far. Chemical modifications of nisin based on utilization of the reactivity of its free amino and carboxylic moieties, as well as reactivity of the double bonds of its dehydroamino acids, are in their infancy.

Abstract
Nucleophilic ring opening of cyclic sulfamidates derived from amino acids is a common strategy for the synthesis of lanthionine derivatives. In this work, we report the regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective intramolecular S-alkylation of a cysteine residue with N-sulfonyl sulfamidates for the synthesis of cyclic lanthionine-containing peptides. The strategy involves the solid-phase synthesis of sulfamidate-containing peptides followed by late-stage intramolecular cyclization. This protocol allowed for the synthesis of four full-length cytolysin S (CylLS″) analogues, two α-peptides and two hybrid α/β-peptides. Their conformational preferences and biological activities were assessed and compared with those of wild-type CylLS″.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen causing serious public health problems. Nisin is a natural antimicrobial agent produced by Lactococcus lactis and widely used in the food industry. However, the anti-L. monocytogenes efficiency of nisin might be decreased due to natural or acquired resistance of L. monocytogenes to nisin, or complexity of the food environment. The limitation of nisin as a bacteriostatic agent in food could be improved using a combination of methods. In this review, the physiochemical characteristics, species, bioengineered mutants, and antimicrobial mechanism of nisin are reviewed. Strategies of nisin combined with other antibacterial methods, including physical, chemical, and natural substances, and nanotechnology to enhance antibacterial effect are highlighted and discussed. Additionally, the antibacterial efficiency of nisin applied in real meat, dairy, and aquatic products is evaluated and analyzed. Among the various binding treatments, the combination with natural substances is more effective than the combination with physical and chemical methods. However, the combination of nisin and nanotechnology has more potential in terms of the impact on food quality.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a problem that has been increasing lately; therefore, it is important to find new alternatives to treat infections induced by pathogens that cannot be eliminated with available products. Small antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) known as bacteriocin could be an alternative to antibiotics because they have shown to be effective against a great number of multidrug-resistant microbes. In addition to its high specificity against microbial pathogens and its low cytotoxicity against human cells, most bacteriocin present tolerance to enzyme degradation and stability to temperature and pH alterations. Bacteriocins are small peptides with a great diversity of structures and functions; however, their mechanisms of action are still not well understood. In this review, bacteriocin produced by Bacillus species will be described, especially its mechanisms of action, culture conditions used to improve its production and state-of-the-art methodologies applied to identify them. Bacteriocin utilization as food preservatives and as new molecules to treat cancer also will be discussed.

Abstract
Bacteriocins have been applied in the food industries and have become promising next-generation antibiotics. Some bacteria produce bacteriocins and possess immunity factors for self-protection. Nisin A, a bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis, shows broad-spectrum activity. However, the evolution and cross-resistance ability of the immunity factors in some species results in reduced susceptibility to bacteriocins. Here, we investigated the elements responsible for nisin A resistance in Streptococcus mutans and their contribution to mutacins (bacteriocins produced by S. mutans) resistance. We classified the nisin A-resistance regions into six types based on the different combinations of 3 immunity factors, mutFEG, nsrX, and mutHIJ, and the presence of mutacin synthesis operon upstream of mutF. Data shows that NsrX effectively acts against nisin A but not mutacins, while the newly identified ABC transporter MutHIJ acts against three mutacins but not nisin A. Three types of MutFEG are identified based on their amino acid sequences: α (in Nsr-types C and D-I), β (in Nsr-types B and d-III), and γ (in Nsr-type E). MutFEG-α strongly contributes to mutacin I resistance, while MutFEG-β and MutFEG-γ strongly contribute to mutacin III, IIIb, and nisin A resistance. Additionally, mutFEG-like structures could be found in various streptococcal species isolated from the oral cavity of humans, chimpanzees, monkeys, bears, and hamsters. Our findings suggest that immunity factors rearrange and adapt in the presence of bacteriocins and could be transferred among closely related species, thus altering the bacterial competition within the microflora. IMPORTANCEStreptococcus mutans is an important organism of oral microbiota and associated with dental caries and systemic diseases such as stroke and endocarditis. They produce bacteriocins known as mutacins to compete with other oral bacteria and possess immune factors for self-protection. We found that the nisin A and mutacins resistance patterns correlated with the immunity components and MutFEG variants, and the genetic difference was driven by the insertion of mutacin-synthesis cassettes. Our study provides an understanding of the development of bacteriocin resistance among streptococcal species, which may alter the bacterial interaction and ecology within the oral biofilm.

Abstract
Ethnic fermented foods are known for their unique aroma, flavour, taste, texture and other sensory properties preferred by every ethnic community in this world culturally as parts of their eatables. Some beneficial microorganisms associated with fermented foods have several functional properties and health-promoting benefits. Bacteriocins are the secondary metabolites produced by the microorganisms mostly lactic acid bacteria present in the fermented foods which can act as lantibiotics against the pathogen bacteria. Several studies have been conducted regarding the isolation and characterization of potent strains as well as their association with different types of bacteriocins. Collective information regarding the gene organizations responsible for the potent effect of bacteriocins as lantibiotics, mode of action on pathogen bacterial cells is not yet available. This review focuses on the gene organizations, pathways include for bacteriocin and their mode of action for various classes of bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria in some ethnic fermented foods.

Abstract
There has been an alarming rise in antibacterial resistant infections in recent years due to the widespread use of antibiotics, and there is a dire need for the development of new antibiotics utilizing novel modes of action. Lantibiotics are promising candidates to engage in the fight against resistant strains of bacteria due to their unique modes of action, including interference with cell wall synthesis by binding to lipid II and creating pores in bacterial membranes. In this study, we use atomic-scale molecular dynamics computational studies to compare both the lipid II binding ability and the membrane interactions of five lanthipeptides that are commonly used in antimicrobial research: nisin, Mutacin 1140 (MU1140), gallidermin, NVB302, and NAI107. Among the five peptides investigated, nisin is found to be the most efficient at forming water channels through a membrane, whereas gallidermin and MU1140 are found to be better at binding the lipid II molecules. Nisin's effectiveness in facilitating water transport across the membrane is due to the creation of several different water trajectories along with no significant water delay points along the paths. The shorter peptide deoxyactagardine B (NVB302) was found to not form a water channel. These detailed observations provide insights into the dual mechanisms of the action of lantibiotic peptides and can facilitate the design and development of novel lanthipeptides by strategic placement of different residues.

Abstract
Implanted biomaterials can be regarded in a cornerstone in the domain of bone surgery. Their surfaces are expected to fulfil two particular requirements: preventing the settlement and the development of bacteria, and stimulating bone cells in view to foster osseointegration. Therefore, a modern approach consists in the design of dual functional coatings with both antibacterial and osteogenic features. To this end, we developed ultrathin Layer-by-Layer (LbL) coatings composed of biocompatible polyelectrolytes, namely chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) and poly-l-lysine (PLL). The coatings were crosslinked with genipin (GnP), a natural and biocompatible crosslinking agent, to increase their resistance against environmental changes, and to confer them adequate mechanical properties with regards to bone cell behaviors. Antibacterial activity was obtained with nisin Z, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP), which is active against gram-positive bacteria. The coatings had a significant bactericidal impact upon Staphylococcus aureus, with fully maintained bone cell adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Microb Pathog 2021; 161:105301.

Abstract
Cationic antimicrobial peptides are being developed as a promising class of antimicrobial sub-stances. The introduction of a new antibiotic component requires a comprehensive study of its properties so that it can be relied upon to continue laboratory procedures and clinical trials on laboratory animals or human volunteers. Antimicrobial activity of buforin I was evaluated against 15 of the most important pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains. This was followed by assessing anti-biofilm activity, time-dependent inhibitory, thermal stability, plas-ma stability, hemolysis, and cytotoxic activities. The range of obtained MICs was between 4 and 16 μg/mL. The most resistant and most sensitive microbial strains were S. salivarius and C. perfringens, respectively. Buforin I not only inhibited biofilm formation, but also showed a high biofilm radiation activity. Buforin I was stable in human plasma and also at different temperatures including 40, 60, and 80 °C. Although no significant anti-cancer properties were observed for buforin I, the lack of cytotoxicity as well as the lack of hemolytic activity confirm its safety. The high therapeutic index indicated that buforin I has a considerable pharmaceutical potential and can be a reasonable candidate to replace antibiotics or administered in combination with antibiotics to increase the effectiveness as well as reduce the dose of antibiotics.

Abstract
Natural products that contain distinctive chemical functionality can serve as useful starting points to develop Nature's compounds into viable therapeutics. Peptide natural products, an under-represented class of medicines, such as ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), often contain noncanonical amino acids and structural motifs that give rise to potent biological activity. However, these motifs can be difficult to obtain synthetically, thereby limiting the transition of RiPPs to the clinic. Aminovinyl cysteine containing peptides, which display potent antimicrobial or anticancer activity, possess an intricate C-terminal ring that is critical for bioactivity. To date, successful methods for the total chemical synthesis of such peptides are yet to be realized, although several advancements have been achieved. In this perspective, we review this burgeoning class of aminovinyl cysteine peptides and critically evaluate the chemical strategies to install the distinct aminovinyl cysteine motif.

Abstract
Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB-bacteriocins) may serve as alternatives for aging antibiotics. LAB-bacteriocins can be used alone, or in some cases as potentiating agents to treat bacterial infections. This approach could meet the different calls and politics, which aim to reduce the use of traditional antibiotics and develop novel therapeutic options. Considering the clinical applications of LAB-bacteriocins as a reasonable and desirable therapeutic approach, it is therefore important to assess the advances achieved in understanding their modes of action, and the resistance mechanisms developed by the producing bacteria to their own bacteriocins. Most LAB-bacteriocins act by disturbing the cytoplasmic membrane through forming pores, or by cell wall degradation. Nevertheless, some of these peptides still have unknown modes of action, especially those that are active against Gram-negative bacteria. Regarding immunity, most bacteriocin-producing strains have an immunity mechanism involving an immunity protein and a dedicated ABC transporter system. However, these immunity mechanisms vary from one bacteriocin to another.

Abstract
Some removable medical devices such as catheters and cardiovascular biomaterials require antiadhesive properties towards both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in order to prevent the tissues from infections upon implantation and, from alteration upon removal. In order to inhibit cell adhesion, we developed ultrathin hydrated Layer-by-Layer (LbL) coatings composed of biocompatible polyelectrolytes, namely chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) and poly-l-lysine (PLL). The coatings were crosslinked with genipin (GnP), a natural and biocompatible crosslinking agent, to increase their resistance against environmental changes. In order to confer antibacterial activity to the coatings, we proceeded to the electrostatically-driven immobilization of nisin Z, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) active against gram-positive bacteria. The nisin-enriched coatings had a significantly increased anti-proliferative impact on fibroblasts, as well as a strong contact-killing activity against Staphylococcus aureus in the short and long term.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious public health issues in the worldwide and only a few new antimicrobial drugs have been discovered in recent decades. To overcome the ever-increasing emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, discovery of new natural products (NPs) against MDR pathogens with new technologies is in great demands. Lanthipeptides which are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) display high diversity in their chemical structures and mechanisms of action. Genome mining and biosynthetic engineering have also yielded new lanthipeptides, which are a valuable source of drug candidates. In this review we cover the recent advances in the field of microbial derived lanthipeptide discovery and development.

Abstract
Here we report a jute endophyte Staphylococcus hominis strain MBL_AB63 isolated from jute seeds which showed promising antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus SG511 when screening for antimicrobial substances. The whole genome sequence of this strain, annotated using BAGEL4 and antiSMASH 5.0 to predict the gene clusters for antimicrobial substances identified a novel antimicrobial peptide cluster that belongs to the class I lantibiotic group. The predicted lantibiotic (homicorcin) was found to be 82% similar to a reported peptide epicidin 280 having a difference of seven amino acids at several positions of the core peptide. Two distinct peaks obtained at close retention times from a RP-HPLC purified fraction have comparable antimicrobial activities and LC-MS revealed the molecular mass of these peaks to be 3046.5 and 3043.2 Da. The presence of an oxidoreductase (homO) similar to that of epicidin 280- associated eciO or epilancin 15X- associated elxO in the homicorcin gene cluster is predicted to be responsible for the reduction of the first dehydrated residue dehydroalanine (Dha) to 2-hydroxypropionate that causes an increase of 3 Da mass of homicorcin 1. Trypsin digestion of the core peptide and its variant followed by ESI-MS analysis suggests the presence of three ring structures, one in the N-terminal and other two interlocking rings at the C-terminal region that remain undigested. Homicorcin exerts bactericidal activity against susceptible cells by disrupting the integrity of the cytoplasmic membrane through pore formation as observed under FE-SEM.

Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Buforin I and Nisin and Synergistic Effect of the Combination of them as a Novel Antimicrobial Preservative. J Food Prot 2020; 83:2018-2025.

Abstract
One of the most effective methods for increasing the antimicrobial activity of a substance is to combine it with one or more other antimicrobial agents. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of buforin I and nisin alone and investigate the synergistic action of these compounds against the most important food spoilage microorganisms in clouding B. subtilis, S. epidermidis, L. innocua, E. coli, S. Enteritidis, A. oryzae, R. glutinis and G. candidum. The results of MIC and MBC/MFC examinations showed that buforin I had higher antimicrobial activity than nisin on all the microbial strains used in this study (p≤0.5). E.coli was the most resistant to both antimicrobial agents, while Listeria innocua and Staphylococcus epidermidis were the most sensitive to nisin and buforin I, respectively. The results of synergistic interaction between buforin I and nisin indicated that the combination of buforin I and nisin on B. subtilis, S. epidermidis and A. oryzae showed synergistic effect, while it had no effect on S. Enteritidis and Geotrichum candidum. The combination of buforin I and nisin showed partial synergistic effect on Listeria innocua, Escherichia coli, Rhodotorula glutinis. Assessment of viability of the microorganisms under the antimicrobial agents alone and in combination with each other at MICs and FICs indicated that use of these antimicrobial agents in combination enhances antimicrobial activity at lower concentrations of both agents. The present study investigated the antimicrobial properties of buforin I against food spoilage microorganisms for the first time and suggests that its use alone or in combination with nisin may provide a clear horizon for the application of antimicrobial peptides as natural preservatives. Thus, the combination of antimicrobial peptides and traditional antimicrobial food preservative could be a promising option for the prevention of contamination, spoilage, and infestation of food and beverage products.

Abstract
Natural products that target lipid II, such as the lantibiotic nisin, are strategically important in the development of new antibacterial agents to combat the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Understanding the structural factors that govern the highly selective molecular recognition of lipid II by the N-terminal region of nisin, nisin(1-12), is a crucial step in exploiting the potential of such compounds. In order to elucidate the relationships between amino acid sequence and conformation of this bicyclic peptide fragment, we have used solid-phase peptide synthesis to prepare two novel analogues of nisin(1-12) in which the dehydro residues have been replaced. We have carried out an NMR ensemble analysis of one of these analogues and of the wild-type nisin(1-12) peptide in order to compare the conformations of these two bicyclic peptides. Our analysis has shown the effects of residue mutation on ring conformation. We have also demonstrated that the individual rings of nisin(1-12) are pre-organised to an extent for binding to the pyrophosphate group of lipid II, with a high degree of flexibility exhibited in the central amide bond joining the two rings.
