Differences in numbers of termicins expressed in two termite species affected by fungal contamination of their environments.

Genetics and molecular research : GMR - 13 Aug 2012

Xu P, Shi M, Lai R, Chen X-X

Abstract excerpt

Termicin is a defensin-like antimicrobial peptide of termites that has strong antifungal activity. Fifty-six different termicin mRNAs encoding 46 different peptides were amplified and identified from Odontotermes formosanus (Termitidae), a species that inhabits environments with a large variety of microbial fauna. In contrast, only 38 different termicin mRNAs encoding 21 different peptides were amplified and...
