The original version of this Article contained an error in the Abstract.
“Of the truncated peptides, β1–22, β7–34 and β1–20 retained an inhibitory activity.”
now reads:
“Of the truncated peptides, α1-22, β7–34 and β1–20 retained an inhibitory activity.”
In addition, the Authors neglected to cite a key reference related to Lactobacillus plantarum NC8 within the Introduction,
“Strains of Lactobacillus plantarum are generally recognized as probiotic and are used as dietary supplements, and have been reported to express several bacteriocins that belong to class IIb, including PLNC8 αβ8.”
now reads:
“Strains of Lactobacillus plantarum are generally recognized as probiotic and are used as dietary supplements, and have been reported to express several bacteriocins that belong to class IIb, including PLNC8 αβ8. These peptides have previously been sequenced and reported to be expressed in the presence of other bacteria, such as Lactococcus lactis MG 13639. Full antimicrobial activity of PLNC8 is achieved through the complementary action of both PLNC8 α and β in a molar ratio of 1:169.”
