Microcins

Microcins are very small bacteriocins, composed of a relatively few peptides. For this reason, they are distinct from their larger protein cousins. The classic example is microcin V, of E. coli.

BACTIBASE[1][2] database is an open-access database for bacteriocins including microcins (view complete list).
