Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) which predominantly act via membrane active mechanisms
have emerged as an exciting class of antimicrobial agents with tremendous potential to …

The development of techniques for efficient peptide production renewed interest in peptides
as therapeutics. Numerous modifications for improving stability, transport and affinity profiles …

The increasing incidence and rapid spread of bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics
are a serious global threat to public health, highlighting the need to develop new …

Novel antimicrobial peptides with antifungal and cytotoxic activity were derived from the
alkalophilic fungus Emericellopsis alkalina VKPM F1428. We previously reported that this …

Lipopeptide antibiotics have linear or cyclic structures with one or more hydrocarbon tails
linked to the N-terminus of a short oligopeptide that may be chemically modified and/or …

We have performed a characterization of cultivated haloalkalitolerant fungi from the
sediments of Big Tambukan Lake in order to assess their biodiversity and antimicrobial …

Trichogin GA IV, isolated from the fungus Trichoderma longibrachiatum, is the prototype of
lipopeptaibols, the sub-class of short-length peptaibiotics exhibiting membrane-modifying …

Peptaibols are peculiar peptides produced by fungi as weapons against other
microorganisms. Previous studies showed that peptaibols are promising peptide-based …

Peptaibols are naturally occurring, antimicrobial peptides endowed with well‐defined helical
conformations and resistance to proteolysis. Both features stem from the presence in their …

Today's shortage of effective antimicrobial agents can be overcome by using antimicrobial
peptides, which are produced naturally by a wide range of organisms, including …
