FIGURE 3.
Truncated NCR247 peptides show reduced antimicrobial activity against S. meliloti. A and B, NCR2471–12 (A) and NCR24713–24 (B) peptide sequences showing disulfide bridges. C, colony forming ability of S. meliloti Sm1021 assessed after treatment with the respective NCR peptide for 3 h relative to an untreated control. Columns represent mean ± S.E. (error bars) (n = 3). The dataset shown is representative of trends observed in two independent experiments. Significant differences compared with the untreated control were determined with one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni's post test on logarithmic data. ***, p ≤ 0.001.
