Antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) are widely distributed in nature. In higher eukaryotes, AMPs
provide the host with an important defence mechanism against invading pathogens. AMPs …

The global challenge to prevent fungal spoilage and mycotoxin contamination on food and
feed requires the development of new antifungal strategies. Antimicrobial peptides and …

In the present study, Melia azedarach wood samples that were treated with the methanolic
extract of Musa paradisiaca L. peels were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal …

In this study, for the environmental development, the antifungal, antibacterial, and
antioxidant activities of a water extract of flowers from Acacia saligna (Labill.) HL Wendl …

Over the last years, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been the focus of intense research
toward the finding of a viable alternative to current antifungal drugs. Defensins are one of the …

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 …

A significant challenge in our understanding of biological systems is the high number of
genes with unknown function in many genomes. The fungal genus Aspergillus contains …

BACKGROUND: The incidence and prevalence of serious mycoses continues to be a public
health problem. Despite aggressive treatment with new or more established licensed …

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 …

Filamentous fungi are found in virtually every marine and terrestrial habitat. Vital to this
success is their ability to secrete a diverse range of molecules, including hydrolytic enzymes …
