Design, heterologous expression, and functional characterization of the Salmonella-specific bacteriocin SalE1a.

This study establishes heterologous production of SalE1a in an E. coli expression system and provides expanded structural, biochemical, and mechanistic insights into this Salmonella-specific bacteriocin, supporting its potential as a targeted antimicrobial for food safety applications.
