Patent ID: 8546525

Claim:
A nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID:NO 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, or SEQ ID:NO 8, b) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a peptide comprising the amino acid sequence SEQ ID:NO 12, SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO:15, or SEQ ID:NO 16, c) a nucleic acid molecule, the complementary strand of which hybridizes to a nucleic acid molecule according to a) or b) and which encodes a peptide having antimicrobial activity, and d) a nucleic acid molecule, the nucleotide sequence of which deviates from the nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid molecule according to c) owing to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
