Description
Summary:In the present study, histone from immature testis of Atlantic salmon was extracted and identified, and its antibacterial activity after enzymolysis was investigated. Histone extracted from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) testis using the acid extraction method was successfully identified by LC-MS/MS, and revealed significant inhibitory activity on both the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. With a low concentration of 10 mg/mL, the observed inhibitory zone diameter (IZD) could significantly reach up to 15.23 mm. After modification of enzymatic hydrolysis by pepsin, histone could be digested to three fragments, while the antibacterial activity increased up to 57.7%. All the results suggested the leftovers from commercial fishing could be utilized for the extraction of antimicrobial peptides.
