Sublancin

Sublancin is an antimicrobial peptide, which inhibits DNA replication, transcription and translation, without affecting membrane integrity. Sublancin suppresses glucose uptake for the competition of phosphotransferase system (PTS). Sublancin inhibits B. subtilis strain 168 ΔSPβ with MIC of 0.312 μM[1][2].
