Antifungal activity of a synthetic human β-defensin 3 and potential applications in cereal-based products

2016-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Defensins are cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides of the innate immune system involved in constitutive and adaptive immunities. The aim of this work was to characterize the antifungal activity of a linear human β-defensin-3 (HBD-3) and test this peptide as a potential food preservative. Antifungal activity of the synthetic HBD-3 was demonstrated against Fusarium culmorum, Penicillium expansum and Aspergillus nige...
