Deciphering the role of ergosterol and sphingolipids in the antifungal mode of action of rhamnolipids on Sclerotiniaceae.

Abstract excerpt

Rhamnolipids (RLs) are natural glycolipids very promising to reduce the use of pesticides to protect crops. They have efficient antifungal properties against Sclerotiniaceae fungi. They are membranotropic compounds permeabilizing fungal cells. We have previously proposed that a lower ergosterol amount could be linked to a lower antifungal sensitivity. The main objective of this paper was to gain insights into the...
