A major cause of the paucity of new starting points for drug discovery is the lack of interaction between academia and industry. Much of the global resource in biology is present in universities, whereas the focus of medicinal chemistry is still larg

The Preservative Sorbic Acid Targets Respiration, Explaining the Resistance of Fermentative Spoilage Yeast Species

Autor: Malcolm Stratford, Cindy Vallières, Ivey A. Geoghegan, David B. Archer, Simon V. Avery

Publikováno v: mSphere, Vol 5, Iss 3 (2020)

ABSTRACT A small number (10 to 20) of yeast species cause major spoilage in foods. Spoilage yeasts of soft drinks are resistant to preservatives like sorbic acid, and they are highly fermentative, generating large amounts of carbon dioxide gas. Conve

Publikováno v: Frontiers in Microbiology, Vol 9 (2018)

A range of fungicides or antifungals are currently deployed to control fungi in agriculture or medicine, but resistance to current agents is growing so new approaches and molecular targets are urgently needed. Recently, different aminoglycoside antib
