Bovicin HJ50 is isolated from Streptococcus bovis HJ50. It contains a disulfide bridge and shows similarity to type AII lantibiotics, the largest group of lantibiotics. Like most of the bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria, Bovicin HJ50 showed a narrow range of inhibiting activity. Its antimicrobial activity has been proved in reference.

Experiment Result

Cloning

We conbined our toxic gene to pSB1C3 backbone and conducted PCR to check the size of our part. The Bovicin HJ50 sequence length is around 171 b.p.
