Log-phase bacteria (5 × 105 CFU/ml) were incubated with 6.25 μM of HPN-4fl, HNP-4111, HNP-4111mod or 0.01% acetic acid as a control in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer containing 1% (w/v) TSB. After incubation at 37°C and 150 rpm for 0 to 120 min, a sample was taken from the suspension and added to a 0.05% (v/v) sodium polyanethole sulfonate (Sigma-Aldrich) solution, which neutralizes remaining peptide activity, and plated on LB agar to determine the number of viable bacteria. Experiments were carried out at least three independent times.
