The ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs), also called
ribosomal peptide natural products (RPNPs), form a growing superfamily of natural products …

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

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 …

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 …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are natural antibiotics produced by all living organisms. In
metazoans, they act as host defense factors by eliminating microbial pathogens. But they …

In a long-term monoculture with fruit trees and tree nurseries, it is necessary to regenerate
the soil due to the risk of apple replant disease (ARD). The occurrence of ARD is manifested …

Novel antimicrobial peptides with antifungal and cytotoxic activity were derived from the
alkalophilic fungus Emericellopsis alkalina VKPM F1428. We previously reported that this …

The filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum Q176 secretes the antimicrobial proteins
(AMPs) PAF and PAFB, which share a compact disulfide-bond mediated, β-fold structure …

Penicillium digitatum is a widespread pathogen responsible for the postharvest decay of
citrus, one of the most economically important crops worldwide. Currently, chemical …
