Eminent antimicrobial peptide resistance in zymomonas mobilis: a novel advantage of intrinsically uncoupled energetics

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors demonstrated demonstrated that thatthe theethanologenic ethanologenicbacterium bacteriumZ.Z.mobilis, mobilis, in addition to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, manifests elevated resistance to in addition to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, manifests elevated resistance exogenous AMPs. This, however, raises several issues, the main one of which might be the relatively low cell yield of this bacterium that directly results from its inefficient energetics-which, at the same time, might be the very basis of its high AMP resistance, as the authors propose here. For the study of interactions between antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and phospholipids, bacterial . . .
