Multi-dimensional investigation and distribution characteristics analysis of gut microbiota of different marine fish in Fujian Province of China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The gut microbiota plays an important role in animal health and behavior. In marine fish, the composition of the gut microbiota is affected by many complex factors, such as diet, species, and regional factors.

High content analysis to determine cytotoxicity of the antimicrobial peptide, melittin and selected structural analogs [PDF]

, 2011
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are naturally occurring entities with potential as pharmaceutical candidates and/or food additives. They are present in many organisms including bacteria, insects, fish and mammals.

Probing protein sequences as sources for encrypted antimicrobial peptides [PDF]

, 2012
Starting from the premise that a wealth of potentially biologically active peptides may lurk within proteins, we describe here a methodology to identify putative antimicrobial peptides encrypted in protein sequences.

Vitamin D analogs differentially control antimicrobial peptide/"alarmin" expression in psoriasis [PDF]

, 2009
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are strongly expressed in lesional skin in psoriasis and play an important role as proinflammatory "alarmins" in this chronic skin disease.

An Efficient Approach for the Design and Synthesis of Antimicrobial Peptide-Peptide Nucleic Acid Conjugates

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022
Peptide-Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) conjugates targeting essential bacterial genes have shown significant potential in developing novel antisense antimicrobials. The majority of efforts in this area are focused on identifying different PNA targets and the

Novel antimicrobial activities of a peptide derived from a Japanese soybean fermented food, Natto, against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Bacillus subtilis group strains

AMB Express, 2017
We recently isolated a tumoricidal peptide from Natto, a Japanese traditional fermented food. In the present study, antimicrobial activity of the Natto peptide was examined. The peptide consisted of 45 amino acid residues, and its structure was predicted

A synthetic peptide based on large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) IFNG1R protein sequence has potential antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas plecoglossicida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The overuse of antibiotics leads to the emergence of bacterial resistance, which poses a serious threat to aquaculture. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) display excellent antimicrobial activity and are thought to be the most feasible replacements for ...
