Toxicity of melittin and SLM against P.agglomerans and X. fastidiosa. 105–106 CFUs of P. agglomerans and X. fastidiosa were treated with each AMP. O.D. 600 was measured 24 h after treatment of P. agglomerans with each AMP. Given the slow growth rate of X. fastidiosa, this organism was cultured 24 h after treatment with each AMP and CFUs were counted. P. agglomerans O.D.600 after treatment with - (a) melittin, c SLM; X. fastidiosa CFUs counts after treating with - (b) melittin, d SLM. Both melittin and SLM exerted greater toxicity toward X. fastidiosa than P. agglomerans. All values in each graph are combined results from two independent experiments
