🦠 What if the next generation of natural food preservatives came from… fish by-products?

In our latest article, we explore #bacteriocins, natural antimicrobial peptides produced by certain #bacteria that can help inhibit harmful microbes and improve food safety, among other promising applications.

New APC paper in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research.
First author Felipe Miceli de Farias & colleagues identifed a new circular bacteriocin from Streptococcus. The study is part of the research of Prof. Paul Ross's group at APC.

So true. And if you want to hear how we try to produce #bacteriocins and other antimicrobial/antiviral peptides using a biotech workhorse organism, come to my talk tomorrow at 11:30h in the Biotechniology for Health Session (Amber 1&2 hall) of #FEMS2025. Or to Poster 395.16P on Thursday.

Bacteriocins.bsky.social will be attending #FEMS2025.
Found out yesterday that my abstract was selected for a talk and poster 😱. All Emails were moved to Spam for some reason 🤯.
Will do my best to give a convincing presentation on recombinant production of #bacteriocins

This Superbug Evolved a Genetic Weapon and Took Over Hospitals Worldwide A deadly hospital superbug has evolved into a global force by weaponizing a genetic tool to wipe out its microbial competition. Eesearchers discovered that vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm)...

How seaweed could be used to make sustainable antibiotics A lab in Norway is working on a new method to make antibiotics by training bacteria to eat seaweed.

Our EU project iCULTURE is on BBC!!!!
Of course, we are not trying to producing classical antibiotics but #bacteriocins and other antimicrobial peptides to start with. But once this is achieved, anything is possible.

The webpage of our new Horizon Europe RIA project #iCulture has just been launched. Together with 16 partners, we develop co-fermentation processes to efficiently and sustainably convert biomass of marine macroalgae into #bacteriocins

Starting into the bluesky, #bacteriocins @UlmUniversity are on a roll. On top of the recently launched projects iCulture (#HorizonEurope) and EXAMPLIFY (BMBF) we just received news that project AILEEN (with NTNU) will be funded and project AVIT (with Virology @Ulm) is recommended for funding
