Anti‐biofilm and sporicidal activity of peptides based on wheat puroindoline and barley hordoindoline proteins
This study shows that tryptophan‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), designed based on wheat puroindoline proteins, are highly effective against biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Listeria monocytogenes and endospores of Bacillus subtilis. The results establish their potential as novel biocidal agents.
