Plectasin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plectasin is an antibiotic protein from the mushroom Pseudoplectania nigrella. It was initially discovered in 2005[1] and commercialised by Novozymes.[2] Plectasin belongs to the antimicrobial peptide class called fungal defensins, which is also present in invertebrates such as flies and mussels.[citation needed]
