Figure 5
In vitro anti-E. coli activity of WT and L1, L2, L3 derivatives. All assays were performed in the presence or absence of ZnCl2, or CuCl2 in aqueous buffer (5.4 pH). (A,B) WT-calcitermin action at 3 and 24 h-incubation; (C,D) L1 action at 3 and 24 h-incubation; (E,F) L2 action at 3 and 24 h-incubation; (G,H) L3 action at 3 and 24 h-incubation. Results are expressed ad mean value of CFUs ± SD obtained in triplicate samples from two independent experiments; *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001.
