Bacteriolysis by Agaricus bisporus [PDF]

Microbiology, 1991
Summary: Agaricus bisporus, the cultivated mushroom, was able to mineralize dead 14C-labelled Bacillus subtilis and utilize the cellular components as sole source of carbon and nitrogen for growth. Consistently higher levels of bacteriolytic activity were obtained when A. bisporus was grown on lower concentrations of bacteria, 1·5 mg ml−1 as opposed to

A Single-Domain Antibody Targeting Complement Component C5 Acts as a Selective Inhibitor of the Terminal Pathway of the Complement System and Thus Functionally Mimicks the C-Terminal Domain of the Staphylococcus aureus SSL7 Protein

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The complement system is an efficient anti-microbial effector mechanism. On the other hand abnormal complement activation is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple inflammatory and hemolytic diseases.
