Discovery and Mechanism of Action of a Novel Antimicrobial Peptide from an Earthworm

ABSTRACT The robust innate immune system of the earthworm provides a potential source of natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). However, the cost and high rediscovery rate of direct separation and purification limits their discovery. Genome sequencing of numerous earthworm species facilitates the di...
