Effect of thermostability on the antimicrobial activity of BMGlv2 against E. coli ATCC 25922, S. derby ATCC 13076, and C. perfringens CVCC 2032. BMGlv2 at the concentrations of its MICs against the three tested bacteria was heated in boiling water at different incubation times (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min), and the inhibition rate of BMGlv2 against the three tested bacteria was measured and calculated. *, #, and + represent the significant differences among different incubation times of BMGlv2 compared with the zero-time point of the inhibition rate of E. coli ATCC 25922, S. derby ATCC 13076, and C. perfringens CVCC 2032, respectively. Statistical analysis was calculated using variance (t-test) with IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software (p < 0.05), and the results were given as the mean ± standard deviation (SD).
