First evidence of antimicrobial activity of neurotoxin 2 from Anemonia sulcata (Cnidaria)

We investigated the antibacterial activity of Anemonia sulcata (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) tentacle and body acidic extracts. Biochemical purification consisted of first step on solid phase Sep-Pak C8 column followed by several HPLC runs on C18 column using different conditions. Anti-Micrococcus lysodeikt...

Anti-Micrococcus lysodeikticus activity has been detected in 40 % acetonitrile fractions. The resulting purified molecule from tentacles had a molecular mass determined by MALDI-TOF mass spectrum of 4946,299 Da and has been completely sequenced.

Consequently, ATX-II appeared to display a dual role as toxin and as antibacterial. https://isj02.unimore.it/index.php/ISJ/article/view/319antimicrobial peptideAnemonia sulcataATX IIneurotoxinMicrococcus lysodeikticus
