Effect of proteins from the red seaweed Hypnea musciformis (Wulfen) Lamouroux on the growth of human pathogen yeasts
A protein fraction, rich in lectin, obtained from the red seaweed Hypnea musciformis by precipitation with ammonium sulfate (F40/70) was screened for chitinase and beta-1,3-glucanase activity and assessed for antifungal potential against the human pathogen yeasts Candida albicans and C. guilliermond...
