TABLE 1.
MICs of lantibiotics against M. luteus DSM 1790 in the absence and presence of 1.25 mM CaCl2a
| Lantibiotic | MIC (μg/ml)
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Without CaCl2 | With 1.25 mM CaCl2 | |
| Mersacidin | 1.25 | 0.31 |
| Plantaricin C | 2.5 | 1.25 |
| Lacticin 481 | 1.25 | 1.25 |
| Lacticin 3147 | 1.25 | 0.63 |
| LtnA1 | >10 | >10 |
| LtnA2 | >10 | >10 |
LtnA1 and LtnA2 were used at a 1:1 molar ratio; calculations of the MIC are based on the molecular weight of the A1 peptide.
