Lactic acid bacteria (LAB ) produce different types of antimicrobial compounds that can be used in controlling food and feed spoilage . Bacteriocin , one search ribosomally synthesized proteinaceous antimicrobial compound, acts against the closely related bacteria by all or none mechanism And Thus have least Possibility of resistance development against the bacteriocins . One mostly widely used bacteriocin in food preservation is nisin produced by several species of Lactococcus spp. and trials of other bacteriocins Like pediocin, Helveticin, Enterocins, Piscicolins, Leucocins etc are so...

Natural Products and Drug Discovery: An Integrated Approach provides an applied overview of the field from traditional medicinal targets to cutting-edge molecular techniques. Natural products have always been of key importance to drug discovery, but as modern techniques and technologies have allowed researchers to identify, isolate, extract and synthesize their active compounds in new ways, they are once again coming to the forefront of drug discovery.

Combining the potential of traditional medicine with the refinement of modern chemical technology, using natural products as...
