Efficient production and characterization of the novel and highly active antifungal protein AfpB from Penicillium digitatum

Abstract Filamentous fungi encode distinct antifungal proteins (AFPs) that offer great potential to develop new antifungals. Fungi are considered immune to their own AFPs as occurs in Penicillium chrysogenum, the producer of the well-known PAF. The Penicillium digitatum genome encodes only one afp g...
