Fungal Ribotoxins: A Review of Potential Biotechnological Applications

Fungal Ribotoxins: A Review of Potential Biotechnological Applications

Fungi establish a complex network of biological interactions with other organisms in nature. In many cases, these involve the production of toxins for survival or colonization purposes. Among these toxins, ribotoxins stand out as promising candidates for their use in biotechnological applications. T...
