Reduced activity of purified PIV from QS mutant. PIV was purified from PAO-T7 (P-PIV) and PAO-T7-MW1 (M-PIV) and the purity was confirmed in SDS-PAGE (A). PIV bands at 26 kDa are indicated. (B) the activity of P-PIV and M-PIV was measured at 37 °C using chromogenic substance. Same amount of M-PIV and P-PIV (100 ng) were injected to T. moliter larvae and death with melanization was observed (C). Same volume of insect saline (IS) and protein storage buffer (0 ng) were injected as controls. The survival along with days (D) and at day 4 (E) was quantified. *p < 0.01.
