Similar sequences of distribution of structural genes encoding enterocin A (isolated from the ruminal strain E. faecium BC25) and enterolysin A (isolated from the ruminal amylolytic strain S. bovis II/1) were demonstrated by PCR using oligonucleotide primers specific for these bacteriocins within the ruminal enterococcal and streptococcal strains. Variable occurrence of these bacteriocins was found within the populations of Gram-positive ruminal cocci.
