Filamentous fungi are able to produce a wide range of valuable proteins and enzymes for
many industrial applications. Recent advances in fungal genomics and experimental …

Filamentous fungi can produce many valuable secondary metabolites; among these fungi,
endophytic fungi play an ecological role in mutualistic symbiosis with plants, including …

Fungal synthetic biology is a rapidly expanding field that aims to optimize the
biotechnological exploitation of fungi through the generation of standard, ready-to-use …

Antifungal proteins of fungal origin (AFPs) are small, secreted, cationic, and cysteine-rich
proteins. Filamentous fungi encode a wide repertoire of AFPs belonging to different …

Competition is one of the fundamental driving forces of natural selection. Beauveria
bassiana is a soil and plant phylloplane/root fungus capable of parasitizing insect hosts. Soil …

Synthetic macrocycles such as calixarenes and cucurbiturils are increasingly applied as
mediators of protein assembly and crystallization. The macrocycle can facilitate assembly by …

Small, cysteine-rich and cationic proteins with antimicrobial activity are produced by diverse
organisms of all kingdoms and represent promising molecules for drug development. The …

Penicillium phytopathogenic species provoke severe postharvest disease and economic
losses. Penicillium expansum is the main pome fruit phytopathogen while Penicillium …

A 11 kDa antifungal protein FEAP was purified from buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum)
seed extract with a procedure involving (NH4) 2SO4 precipitation and chromatography on …

Fungi that infect plants, animals or humans pose a serious threat to human health and food
security. Antifungal proteins (AFP s) secreted by filamentous fungi are promising …
