Characterization and Antifungal Properties of Wheat Nonspecific Lipid Transfer Proteins
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2008 This study simultaneously considered the phylogeny, fatty acid binding ability, and fungal toxicity of a large number of monocot nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (ns-LTP). Nine novel full-length wheat ns-LTP1 clones, all possessing coding sequences of

Phase and antigenic variation in mycoplasmas [PDF]
, 2010 With their reduced genome bound by a single membrane, bacteria of the Mycoplasma species represent some of the simplest autonomous life forms. Yet, these minute prokaryotes are able to establish persistent infection in a wide range of hosts, even in the ...

A multigene family encoding surface glycoproteins in Trypanosoma congolense
Microbial Cell, 2017 Trypanosoma congolense, the causative agent of the most important livestock disease in Africa, expresses specific surface proteins involved in its parasitic lifestyle. Unfortunately, the complete repertoire of such molecules is far from being deciphered.
