Abstract
⺠The Atlantic cod mature cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide was characterized. ⺠It was active against a fungus and Gram-negative but not a Gram-positive bacterium. ⺠It demonstrated a rapidly lytic mode of action. ⺠It did not show cytotoxicity toward a fish cell line or mammalian membrane mimetics. ⺠It had no activity at physiological salinity and was cleaved by bacterial proteases.
