The <i>Penicillium chrysogenum</i> Q176 Antimicrobial Protein PAFC Effectively Inhibits the Growth of the Opportunistic Human Pathogen <i>Candida albicans</i>

Small, cysteine-rich and cationic antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) from filamentous ascomycetes promise treatment alternatives to licensed antifungal drugs. In this study, we characterized the <i>Penicillium chrysogenum</i> Q176 antifungal protein C (PAFC), which is phylogenetically distinc...
