Effect of LL-1 on E.coli observed by transmission electron microscopy. a PBS-treated E.coli observed by transmission electron microscopy. b 2 MIC LL-1-treated E.coli observed by transmission electron microscopy. Black arrows pointed to dead bacteria. c PBS-treated E.coli observed by transmission electron microscopy. d 2 MIC LL-1-treated E.coli observed by transmission electron microscopy. Bacterial plasmolysis occurred at the site indicated by the black arrow. Bacterial membrane lysis occurred at the site indicated by the white arrow
