Most of the probiotics Bacterial cells, express native antibacterial genes, resulting in the production of, antimicrobial peptides, which have various applications in biotechnology and drug development. But the identification of antibacterial peptide, structural characterization of antimicrobial peptide and prediction on mode of action. Regardless of the significance of protein manufacturing, three individual factors are required for the production method: gene expression, stabilization and specific peptide purification. Our protocol describes a straightforward technique of detecting and characterizing particular extracellular peptides and enhancing the antimicrobial peptide expression we optimized using low molecular weight peptides. This protocol can be used to improve peptide detection and expression. The following are the benefits of this method, (DOI - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2019.10.196 [1]). The data briefly describe a simple method in detection identification, characterization of antimicrobial extracellular peptide, predicating the mode of action of peptide in targeting pathogens ( method), brief method on profiling of antimicrobial peptide and its mode of action [1]. Further the protocol can be used to enhance the specific peptide expressions, detection of peptides. The advantages of this technique are presented below:•Characterization protocol of specific antimicrobial peptide•The folded antimicrobial peptide expression were less expressed or non-expressed peptides.•Besides being low cost, less time-consuming, easy to handle, universal and fast to execute, the suggested technique can be used for multiple proteins expressed in probiotics () expression system.

The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, which pose significant threats to animal health and food safety. Host defense peptides (HDPs) have emerged as promising alternatives because of their unique antimicrobial properties and minimal resistance induction. However, the high costs associated with HDP production and incorporation into animal management practices hinder their widespread application.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising approach to identify new antimicrobial compounds in diverse microbial species. Here we developed an AI-based, explainable deep learning model, EvoGradient, that predicts the potency of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and virtually modifies peptide sequences to produce more potent AMPs, akin to in silico directed evolution. We applied this model to peptides encoded in low-abundance human oral bacteria, resulting in the virtual evolution of 32 peptides into potent AMPs.

Human β-defensin (HBD) has been recognized as a promising antimicrobial agent due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. In our previous work, we engineered a chimeric human β-defensin, designated H4, by fusing human β-defensin 3 and human β-defensin 4, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial activity and salt stability. However, the high cost of chemical synthesis due to the relatively large number of amino acids in H4 has limited its applications.

The liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) is gaining recognition for its immune regulatory functions beyond direct antimicrobial activity. In this study, we investigated the role of mudskipper (Boleophthalmus pectinirostris) LEAP2 (BpLEAP2) in enhancing the survival, gut health, and immune resilience against Edwardsiella tarda infection. Pre-oral delivery of BpLEAP2 significantly improved survival rates and mitigated infection-induced damage to the gut, as evidenced by preserved villus length and goblet cell count.
