termicin

Termicin is an antimicrobial peptide with six cysteines forming three disulfide bridges that was firstly isolated from the… (More)

We identified the antifungal gene termicin in three species of Cryptocercus woodroaches. Cryptocercus represents the closest… (More)

Social living may burden the immune system by increasing susceptibility to contagion. Animals may, however, evolve socially… (More)

Subterranean termites face strong pathogenic pressures from the ubiquitous soil fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, and rely on innate… (More)

Termicin is a defensin-like antimicrobial peptide of termites that has strong antifungal activity. Fifty-six different termicin… (More)

We identified and analysed mRNA sequences of two immune proteins from the subterranean termites Reticulitermes flavipes and… (More)

Ants live in crowded nests with interacting individuals, which makes them particularly prone to infectious diseases. The question… (More)

We have identified and analyzed the mRNA sequence of 20 new defensin-like peptides from 11 Australian termite species of… (More)

The solution structure of termicin from hemocytes of the termite Pseudacanthotermes spiniger was determined by proton two… (More)

Two novel antimicrobial peptides, which we propose to name termicin and spinigerin, have been isolated from the fungus-growing… (More)
