Structural changes of spores of tree fungal pathogens after treatment with the designed antimicrobial peptide D2A21.

2000-04-01

Abstract excerpt

In vitro effects of the antimicrobial synthetic D2A21 peptide on the structure of spores of four fungal pathogens causing important tree diseases were examined by microscopy in parallel with tests to measure inhibition of spore germination. With light microscopy, the use of SYTOX® green stain indicated that the peptide rapidly altered the plasma membrane of conidia of three Ascomycetes: Gremmeniella abietina...
