Pyocin
Type of bacteriocin / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pyocins are bacteriocins produced by bacteria belonging to the Pseudomonas genus. François Jacob described the first pyocin in 1954.[1] Pyocins can be divided into three distinct classes: S-type, R-type, and F-type pyocins. S-type pyocins are colicin-like bacteriocins as R-type and F-type pyocins belong to tailocins.[2]
