Bactrocerin-1 (VGKTWIKVIRGIGKSKIKWQ) has been identified in the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis and is thought to play a role in innate immunity (Dang et al, 2009). It is a basic, amphipathic alpha-helical and Lys/Ile/Gly-rich antimicrobial peptide with sequence homology to coleoptericin A and rhinocerosin. Bactrocerin-1 is active against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus pumilus). Weak antibacterial activity is observed against Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Ralstonia solanacearum). The peptide also shows antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Penicillium digitatum. No hemolytic activity is observed at various
