Range of bactericidal activity of the synthetic peptide ALFPm6 against various strains of microorganisms using liquid growth inhibition assay.

Microorganism	MBC value* of cALFPm6#29–52 (μM)
Gram-positive bacteria
Aerococcus viridans	25–50
Bacillus megaterium	25–50
Micrococcus luteus	25–50
Staphylococus haemolyticus	>100
Gram-negative bacteria
Enterobacter cloacae	>100
Erwinia carotovora	>100
Escherichia coli 363	25–50
Klebsiella pneumoniae	>100
Vibrio haemolyticus (AHPND)	>100
Non-virulent Vibrio haemolyticus	>100
Vibrio harveyi	>100

*MBC value is expressed as the interval a-b, where a is the highest concentration tested at which microorganisms are growing and b the lowest concentration tested to kill particular bacterium.
