Résumé
Antheraea mylitta, a tropical non-mulberry silkworm, is cultivated for tasar silk production in India. Several defense molecules including few antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and proteins have been identified from this insect. Here, we have isolated and purified an antimicrobial tri-peptide by sequential chromatographic separation procedures. The amino acid sequence of the peptide was determined as NH
