Peptide Characterization:

An important part of the project TU Delft iGEM13 is inhibition of growth or killing of bacteria with the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). In order to get an idea of the toxicity of our peptides we conducted several minimal inhibiting concentration (MIC) experiments. These MIC measurements where done on E. coli, B. subtilis and S. delphini, with the first as representative of our Gram-negative expression host, the second for the Gram-positive targets and the last for our specific target.

MIC determination:

The MIC of Maximin H5 on S. delphini, B. subtilis and E. coli were done according to the protocol described [http://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Delft/PeptideCharacterization here]. Maximin H5 did not give a measurable reduction in growth below 40µM (Figure 1), making us decide not to proceed testing, as modeling showed it was not possible to reach these concentrations through expression in E.coli.

Comparison with two peptides:

The fact that for none of the peptides a MIC could be determined for E. coli (>150µM) further confirms the expected selectivity towards Gram-positives which is observed in the following graph(Figure 2):
