We report the isolation and characterization of a new bacteriocin, thuricin S, produced by the Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. entomocidus HD198 strain. This antibacterial activity is sensitive to proteinase K, is heat-stable, and is stable at a variety of pH values (3–10.5). The monoisotopic mass of thuricin S purified by high perfomance liquid chromatography, as determined with mass spectrometry ESI-TOF-MS, is 3137.61 Da. Edman sequencing and NanoESI-MS/MS experiments provided the sequence of the 18 N-terminal amino acids. Interestingly, thuricin S has the same N-terminal sequence (DWTXWSXL) as bacthuricin F4 and thuricin 17, produced by B. thuringiensis strains BUPM4 and NEB17, respectively, and could therefore be classified as a new subclass IId bacteriocin.

In this paper a novel colorless and salt-tolerant silver-histidine complex doped montmorillonite (Na-MMT) antibacterial agent (SHMMT) power was synthesized by ion exchange reaction using silver-histidine complex ion [Ag (his)] + as precursor, and characterized by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) and power X-ray diffraction (XRD). The antibacterial activities against Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora were examined by a modified broth dilution test and the plate counting method. The salt-tolerant property was determined by the antibacterial activities of the sea water soaked SHMMT. The results showed that the Ag loading amount of SHMMT powder reached 1.7mmol/g, far more than the cationic exchange capacity (CEC) of Na-MMT. SHMMT powder had high bacterial activity eventhough it was soaked in the sea water for 30 days. 1
