The bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus plantarum

Because of the variety of bacteriocins from Lactobacillus plantarum and beneficial effects produced during ferment,it became popular to do research on bacteriocins from L.plantarum.In this paper,with the purpose to provide a reference for further studies of bacteriocins from L.plantarum,the characteristics were introduced elaborately,including types,molecule structures,inhibition mechanisms and inheritance control.Also,the applications of bacteriocins from L.plantarum in food preservatives,medicine industry,and agriculture were simply summed up.
