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

It has been estimated that up to one quarter of the world's biomass is of fungal origin,
comprising approximately 1.5 million species. In order to interact with one another and …

Candida albicans causes superficial to systemic infections in immuno-compromised
individuals. The concomitant use of fungistatic drugs and the lack of cidal drugs frequently …

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

The aim of the study was to demonstrate that the bZIP-type transcription factor AtfA regulates
different types of stress responses in Aspergillus nidulans similarly to Atf1, the orthologous …

Twenty Aspergillus niger strains were isolated from peanuts and 14 strains were able to
completely inhibit AFB 1 production with co-cultivation. By using a Spin-X centrifuge system …

Antifungal proteins (AFPs) from filamentous fungi offer the potential to control fungal
infections that threaten human health and food safety. AFPs exhibit broad antifungal spectra …

Dry-cured meat products are usually contaminated with moulds during ripening. Although
fungal development contributes to the desired sensory characteristics, some moulds, such …

Plant volatile compounds have great potential for preventing and controlling fungal spoilage
in post-harvest grains. Recently, we have reported the antifungal effects of trans-anethole …

A novel 6.6 kDa antifungal peptide (NFAP) from the culture supernatant of the mold,
Neosartorya fischeri (anamorf: Aspergillus fischerianus), and its encoding gene were …
