This research aims to find an alternative solution to bacterial inhibition. Currently, antibiotics are popular
choices due to their effectiveness against microorganism infection, while their abuse leads to bacterial resistance
issues thus posing a huge threat to global health. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are alkaline polypeptides that can
inhibit bacterial activity without causing bacterial resistance. For this issue, we developed five types of AMPs
based on the following functional genes: Hydramacin-1, Spheniscin-2, Sparamosin26-54, LL-37, and fusion. The target
gene was integrated into plasmid pET28a(+), expressing AMPs in E.coli BL21(DE3) competent cell. Besides the
development of bacterial inhibition functions, the fusion AMP has antifungal abilities. Because the aquariums
regularly replace a lot of water, we hope that the AMPs created can shed light on a more convenient method of fish
tank cleaning to save water resources.
