Abstract
Pyocins S1, S2 and AP41 are the most frequently found protease-sensitive bacteriocins inPseudomonas aeruginosa. They are classified by the different receptor specificities. A peculiar feature of these bacteriocins is that their genetic determinants are all located at definite sites on the the chromosome. This is in sharp contrast to the case of other bacteriocins, such as colicins, which are of plasmid origin. We cloned these pyocin genes on appropriate plasmids and determined their DNA base sequences, and purified their proteins.
