Distinct phenotypes of salivaricin-producing Ligilactobacillus salivarius isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of broiler chickens and laying hens by A.G. Elnar, Y.J. Jang, B.G. Eum, M.H. Kang, G.W. Hwang, D.Y. Kil, G.B. Kim

“…Further analysis revealed that the resistance of Type B strains to salP was attributable to the presence of a dedicated immunity protein, blurring the evolutionary significance of producing active bacteriocins for competitive advantage. Additionally, the loss of export proteins occurred in a polyphyletic manner, consistent with the genetic plasticity of the repA-type megaplasmid. …”
