The mechanism of LI-F type peptides (AMP-jsa9) produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa JSa-9 acting on Bacillus cereus was studied.
Bacterial cells exposed to AMP-jsa9 showed irregular surfaces with bleb projections and concaves.
The mechanism of bleb formation on cell surface was proposed.
Based on proteome analysis, the putative pathways of the action of AMP-jsa9 B. cereus was summarized.
