Evidence of the antibacterial activity of ladybird cwh genes II: Recombinant protein activity that limited bacterial proliferation. a Western blot of the recombinant proteins of cwh1 suggested the success of cloning and recombinant expression. The bacterial killing activities of cwh1 proteins against b Escherichia coli and c Bacillus subtilis cells were measured by the increase in OD630 nm within 90 min of each treatment. Error bars show ± standard errors with biological replicates. Bars with the same letter are not significantly different (p ≥ 0.05)
