Expression of an Antifungal Peptide in Saccharomyces: A New Approach for Biological Control of the Postharvest Disease Caused by Colletotrichum coccodes
Abstract
A cecropin A-based peptide inhibited germination of Colletotrichum coccodes at 50 μM. The DNA sequence encoding the peptide was cloned in pRS413, using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae invertase leader sequence for secretion of the peptide, and expressed in yeast. Yeast transformants inhibited the growth of germinated C. coccodes spores and inhibited decay development caused by C. coccodes in tomato fruits. Expression of the antifungal peptide in yeast therefore represents a new approach for the biological control of postharvest diseases.

Probably the first biocontrol engineering example among yeasts is a S. cerevisiae strain expressing the antifungal peptide cecropin A, which resulted in complete inhibition of Colletotrichum coccodes growth on tomatoes.
“Probably the first “biocontrol engineering example” among yeasts is a S. cerevisiae strain expressing the antifungal peptide cecropin A, which resulted in complete inhibition of Colletotrichum coccodes growth on tomatoes (Jones and Prusky 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
