The incidence of invasive fungal infections is increasing worldwide, resulting in more than
1.6 million deaths every year. Due to growing antifungal drug resistance and the limited …

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

Plant pathogenic fungi are responsible for enormous crop losses worldwide. Overcoming
this problem is challenging as these fungi can be highly resistant to approved chemical …

Small, cysteine-rich and cationic antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) from filamentous
ascomycetes promise treatment alternatives to licensed antifungal drugs. In this study, we …

Antifungal proteins (AFPs) are promising antimicrobial compounds that represent a feasible
alternative to fungicides. Penicillium expansum encodes three phylogenetically distinct …

Because of enormous crop losses worldwide due to pesticide-resistant plant pathogenic
fungi, there is an increasing demand for the development of novel antifungal strategies in …

Dollar spot disease, caused by the fungal pathogen Clarireedia jacksonii, is a major
problem in many turfgrass species, particularly creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). It is …

The secretomes of filamentous fungi contain a diversity of small secreted cysteine‐rich
proteins (SSCPs) that have a variety of properties ranging from toxicity to surface activity …

Fungi are ubiquitous in the environment and play a key role in the decomposition and
recycling of nutrients. On the one hand, their special properties are a great asset for the …

As a consequence of the fast resistance spreading, a limited number of drugs are available
to treat fungal infections. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new antifungal …
