Dry bubble disease, caused by Lecanicillium fungicola, is a serious economic problem in the cultivation of the white button mushroom. Biological control of the disease would meet the mushroom industry’s efforts to minimize the use of chemicals. A total of 160 bacterial strains were isolated from colonized casing and screened for in vitro antagonism of L. fungicola. Fifty-three isolates inhibited L...
Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that play an important role in the innate immune response in the intestine. Up to date, only one β-defensin (pBD-1), has been described in pig, which was found to be expressed at low levels in the intestine. We set-up a quantitative PCR method to detect the gene expression of pBD-1 and a newly discovered porcine β-defensin, pBD-2. Expression of pBD-1 mRNA increased...
