Abstract
We describe a novel bacteriocin screening assay based on fluorescence emitted by berberine following its influx into compromised cells. This technique showed agreement with the conventional well-diffusion method, and results can be obtained within one hour. This assay could facilitate the rapid identification of bacteriocinogenic bacterial isolates.
