Summary:Microbes produce an array of defence systems. These include bacteriocins, a class of antimicrobial molecules with narrow killing spectra. This book describes the diversity and ecological role of bacteriocins of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It also discusses the molecular evolution of colicins and colicin-like bacteriocins.
