A new antimicrobial peptide, Pentatomicin, from the stinkbug Plautia stali
Abstract Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play crucial roles in the innate immunity of diverse organisms, which exhibit remarkable diversity in size, structural property and antimicrobial spectrum.Here, we describe a new AMP, named Pentatomicin, from the stinkbug Plautia stali (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae).Orthologous nucleotide sequences of Pentatomicin
