Effect of CCCP on the antimicrobial activity of Rh-LfcinB(4–9)
| Interaction | Mean fraction of viable cells ± SDa |
|---|---|
| 5.0 μM Rh-LfcinB(4–9) with E. coli cells in the presence of 100 μM CCCP | 0.71 ± 0.04 |
| 5.0 μM Rh-LfcinB(4–9) with E. coli cells in the absence of CCCP | 0.24 ± 0.05 |
| No peptides with E. coli cells in the presence of 100 μM CCCP | 0.77 ± 0.03 |
a
Cell viability was measured after the interaction of peptides (or no peptides) with E. coli cells in the presence or the absence of CCCP at 25°C for 15 min. Mean values of the fraction of viable cells and their standard deviations are shown.
