Harmful fungi in nature not only cause diseases in plants, but also fungal infection and
poisoning when people and animals eat food derived from crops contaminated with them …

Antimicrobial peptides have been extensively examined as potential biopreservatives in
hurdle technology. However, stability issues like proteolytic degradation and the potential …

Short cationic, amphipathic antimicrobial peptides are multi-functional molecules that have
roles in host defense as direct microbicides and modulators of the immune response. While …

Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by Bacteria and
some Archaea. The assessment of the toxic potential of antimicrobial peptides is important in …

The global increase in antimicrobial drug resistance has dramatically reduced the
