Light scattering and bactericidal activities of the analogous OAKs. (A) Dose dependence of the light-scattering intensities of PBS solutions of c16KKc12K (filled circles), c16(ω7)KKc12K (open circles), and KKc12K as the negative control (open squares). (Inset) Tenfold magnification of the y axis. (B) Bactericidal kinetics of 12.5 μM c16KKc12K assayed against S. aureus (filled circles), c16(ω7)KKc12K (open circles), and the untreated control (stars). Bacteria were sampled at the designated time periods, subjected to serial 10-fold dilutions, and plated on LA dishes for a CFU count after overnight incubation at 37°C.
