Purification and characterization of a novel thermostable antifungal protein with chitinase activity from mung bean

摘要

Aim : Antifungal proteins are produced by many plant species and participate in defence mechanisms against number of fungal pathogens. The main objective of the study was to purify and characterize the thermo-stable antifungal compound with chitinase activity from mung bean Vigna radiata seeds to assess their antifungal potency.
