Large-Scale Plasma Peptidomic Profiling Reveals a Novel, Nontoxic, <i>Crassostrea hongkongensis</i>-Derived Antimicrobial Peptide against Foodborne Pathogens

Large-Scale Plasma Peptidomic Profiling Reveals a Novel, Nontoxic, <i>Crassostrea hongkongensis</i>-Derived Antimicrobial Peptide against Foodborne Pathogens

Antimicrobial peptides are a fundamental component of mollusks’ defense systems, though they remain a thinly investigated subject. Here, infection by <i>Vibrio parahemolyticus</i> triggered a significant increase in antimicrobial activity in oyster plasma. By using PBS-challenged oysters...
