    • Function: Antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Antifungal activity against Candida albicans is not noteable under 100 μM.

    • Target Organism

      • [Ref.22526241] Gram-positive bacteria: Micrococcus luteus (MIC = 1.1 μM), Bacillus subtilis (MIC = 1.3 μM), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 65 μM);
      • Gram-negative bacteria: E.coli (MIC = 5.5 μM), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC = 80 μM);
      • Fungi: Candida albicans (MIC > 100 μM).

    • Hemolytic Activity

      • [Ref.22526241] LC50 > 100 μM. Note: LC50 is the concentration of a peptide able to lyse 50% of human erthrocytes in the assay.
