NOVEL ANTIFUNGAL AGENTS AND FUNGICIDES, METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF AND THEIR USE

摘要

The invention relates to the preparation of protein toxins from yeasts so-called killer yeasts using genetic technology in order to control human pathogenic and plant pathogenic yeasts and/or fungi, whereby these are selectively destroyed. The high specificity enables the protein toxins to be used as an antifungal agent and/or fungicide. In addition, protein toxins of this type can be used for protecting plants.
