Abstract
The production of streptocins STH(1) and STH(2) by Streptococcus gordonii DL1 (Challis) is directly controlled by the competence regulon, which requires intact comR and comAB loci. The streptocin (sth) locus comprises two functional genes, sthA and sthB. Whereas STH(1) activity requires sthA alone, STH(2) activity depends on both genes.
