| Abstract: | Background The lantibiotic mersacidin is an antimicrobial peptide of 20 amino acids that is ribosomally produced by Bacillus sp. strain HIL Y-85,54728. Mersacidin acts by complexing the sugar phosphate head group of the peptidoglycan precursor lipid
II, thereby inhibiting the transglycosylation reaction of peptidoglycan biosynthesis. |
