| bacteriocin | <cell biology, microbiology> A substance that certain bacteria can release which kills closely-related strains of other bacteria, but without rupturing their cell membranes. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| bacteriocin factors | Bacterial plasmid's responsible for the elaboration of bacteriocins. Synonym: bacteriocin factors, bacteriocinogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacteriocinogen | <molecular biology> A plasmid, or ring of DNA, found in certain bacteria which controls the production of bacteriocin, a substance that the bacteria can use to kill closely-related strains of other bacteria without rupturing their cell membranes. (09 Oct 1997) |

| bacteriocins | <molecular biology> Exotoxins, often plasmid coded, produced by bacteria and which kill other bacteria not eukaryotic cells). Colicins are produced by about 40% of E. Coli strains: colicin E2 is a DNA ase, colicin E3 an RNA ase. (18 Nov 1997) |
