yeasts to humans. Autophagy is involved in the virulence of several pathogenic fungi such
as Magnaporthe grisea or Colletotrichum orbiculare. In the current study, we identified and
disrupted an autophagy-like lipase FgATG15 in Fusarium graminearum. We showed that
FgATG15 exhibits lipase activity when heterologously expressed in P. pastoris. We used a
gene deletion approach to characterize the function of the enzyme. We demonstrate that …
