Antibacterial activity was determined against Erwinia amylovora (Ea), Pseudomonas syringae pv. syryngae (Pss) and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.vesicatoria (Xv) as reporter species, and against the rice pathogens Dickeya chrysanthemi (Dc) and Fusarium verticillioides (Fv).
Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) are given in μM and were calculated with 108 bacterial CFU/ml or 104 conidia/ml. Phytotoxicity values in rice germination assays are given as minimal peptide concentrations (μM) causing significant alteration of shoot length. Phytotoxicity values in tobacco leaf inoculation assays are given as the mean of the lesion diameter (cm) and standard error upon inoculation of 150 μM peptide solutions. Letters indicate different groups in one-way ANOVA analysis and Tukey's b posttest with α = 0.05. Hemolytic activity is given as the ratio between each peptide and the reference peptide BP100 (calculated at 150 μM and given in % with confidence interval for α = 0.05 [47]).
