The antimicrobial activities of protective pro-teins can act either through direct interaction with the bacterial cell wall (lysozyme, avian beta-defensins) or indirectly by decreasing the bioavailability of …

DEFENCE MECHANISM OF EGG The defense mechanism of egg may be due to presence of mechanical (physical) barriers as well as biological barriers. (A) MECHANICAL (PHYSICAL) …

Among the various identities the egg can claim, antimicrobial is one of them. Various egg white proteins exhibit antimicrobial properties. One example is lysozyme, which attacks the polysaccharide cell …

Nov 1, 2018 · The purpose of this study was to establish a method for determining the bacteriolytic activity after separation of lysozyme-binding proteins from egg …

The antibacterial activity of ovotransferrin plus either citric acid, EDTA, or lysozyme was investigated using a viability test. First, 2 ml of ovotransferrin solution (40 mg/ml) was added to 2 ml of 2x …

Larks are ground-nesting passerines with open-cup nests and their eggs are potentially exposed to a wide variety of microbes from both the soil and the air. We measured levels of ovotransferrin, …
