The antifungal protein AFP from Aspergillus giganteus prevents secondary growth of different Fusarium species on barley

Abstract: Secondary growth is a common post-harvest problem when pre-infected crops are attacked by filamentous fungi during storage or processing. Several antifungal approaches are thus pursued based on chemical, physical, or bio-control treatments; however, many of these methods are inefficient, affect product quality, or cause severe side effects on the environment. A protein that can potentially overcome these limitations is the antifungal protein AFP, an abundantly secreted peptide of the filamentous fungus Aspergi… Show more

“…The established purification protocol of AFP could be efficient and valuable in AFP purification and yield. Comparing to mentioned purification protocol by [2] [5]- [8] [34], the isoelectric focusing could be 5 days shorter in time and cheaper in cost with producing higher amount of active AFP. Therefore, it recommended to be used for scaling up the AFP production.…”

“…Identification of A. alternate was carried out by comparing the individually DNA fragment to the DNA marker GeneRuler TM DNA Ladder Mix 100 -10,000 bp [25]. The relative fungal DNA amounts were calculated by measuring the PCR-Fragment intensity for all PCR bands using Kodak ID program v., 3.6 and mean of triplicate ± SE was calculated and performed by Excel program [8].…”

“…Therefore, investigation of the target site and the mode of action of an antifungal protein should reveal whether the protein is suitable for an application (Theis et al, 2005). The antifungal protein (AFP) are abundantly secreted by the filamentous fungus Aspergillus giganteus, this cysteine-rich protein have ability to disturb the integrity of fungal cell walls and plasma membranes but does not interfere with the viability of other eukaryotic systems (Barakat et al, 2010;Meyer, 2008).…”
