Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Carnobacteriocin A (CbnA) is a regulated bacteriocin produced by Carnobacterium piscicola LV17A that is encoded on a 72 kb plasmid. A 10.0 kb fragment from this plasmid that contained information necessary for bacteriocin production and immunity was cloned and sequenced. Genetic analysis showed the presence of the previously sequenced structural gene for CbnA, as well as genes encoding proteins homologous to dedicated bacteriocin transport proteins and proteins of three-component signal transduction systems. The induction factor (CbnX) was chemically synthesized and induced CbnA production at 10(-11) M or higher in a C. piscicola LV17A culture that had lost the ability to produce bacteriocin as a result of dilution. The gene cbiA for the immunity protein is not located in typical close proximity to the structural gene for CbnA and is encoded in the opposite orientation. CbiA has homology with EniB, the immunity protein for enterocin B that is also encoded in the opposite orientation to the bacteriocin gene. CbiA and EniB cross-protected against the corresponding bacteriocins.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
