Characterization of antibacterial activity from protein hydrolysates of the macroalga Saccharina longicruris and identification of peptides implied in bioactivity

The macroalga Saccharina longicruris proteins were extracted and hydrolysed with the enzyme trypsin in order to recover antibacterial peptides, which could be used in reducing food spoilage. The >10 kDa protein hydrolysate fraction exhibited activity against the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus wi...
