title: Studies on an antifungal protein and a chromatographically and structurally related protein isolated from the culture broth of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.
abstract: An antifungal protein with multiple stable biological activities unaffected by chemical modification of tyrosine and tryptophan, and a protein with N-terminal sequence and molecular mass resemblance but no identifiable activities were isolated from culture broth of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The findings are analogous to previous reports on thaumatin and thaumatin-like proteins.
