Table 1 show the effects of ACE inhibitory peptide GLSDGEWQ on three Gram-positive (B. cereus, L. monocytogens, and S. aureus) and three Gram-negative (S. Typhimurium, E. Coli, and P. aeruginosa) pathogens. This peptide showed growth inhibition on Salmonella Typhimurium, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes at a 100 ppm level but not on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
