[Cocos nucifera antimicrobial peptide 1] This peptide with the sequence SVAGRAQGM is an anionic host defence peptide from green coconut water of the plant Cocos nucifera (Mandal et al, 2009). It shows no sequence homology to other antimicrobial peptides. Cn-AMP1 is extremely efficient against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) (Silva et al, 2012).
