A bacteriocin is a peptide that is produced naturally by certain bacteria. It target close relatives to the producing bacteria. Unlike antibiotics the targets of bacteriocins are very specifc. The bacteriocin, colicin Fy is produced from y. frederiksenii and it will only target other yersinia species. Bacteriocins will either attack the cellmembrane or within the cell such as gene expression or protein production. One of colicins Fy main target is the y.enterocolitica. It kills y. enterocolitica by creating pores in its cellmembrane. Y. enterocolitica is also one of the more common pathogens in the gut and it causes some serious symptoms. That is why we choose colicin as the bacteriocin we want to express.</p>';
