Corrigendum: Navigating the fungal battlefield: cysteine-rich antifungal proteins and peptides from Eurotiales

Summary

This article provides a correction to previously published research about special proteins and peptides produced by certain fungi that can fight other fungal infections. The corrections involve fixing errors in a table that listed important chemical properties of these antifungal molecules. These molecules come from various Penicillium and Aspergillus fungal species and could potentially be used to develop new antifungal treatments.

Background

This is a corrigendum to a published article on cysteine-rich antifungal proteins and peptides from Eurotiales fungi. The original article examined antifungal proteins (AFPs) produced by various fungal organisms.

Objective

This corrigendum addresses errors found in Table 1 of the original published article regarding physicochemical properties of antifungal proteins from Eurotiales species.

Results

Corrections were made to Table 1 including: corrected column headings (pI instead of ‘pI at pH 7’, and ‘Lys/Arg/His’ instead of ‘Lys/His/Arg’), removed strain identification for Aspergillus giganteus, corrected Lys/Arg/His values for BP from Penicillium brevicompactum (4/4/1 instead of 4/1/4), and corrected molecular weight for PeAfpC from Penicillium expansum (6.7 kDa instead of 8.1 kDa).

Conclusion

The authors confirmed that these corrections do not change the scientific conclusions of the original article. The original article has been updated with the corrected information.
