- •
Synergism of low power sonication and antimicrobial action of melittin demonstrated.
- •
Synergism is more pronounced at higher ultrasonic power level.
- •
Synergism is more pronounced at higher melittin concentration.
- •
Synergism is due to formation of transient pores by low power ultrasonication.
- •
Low power sonication with antimicrobial peptide has potential in food sterilization.
