Abstract
The current information about hydrophobins, low molecular weight proteins synthesized by filamentous fungi, which are one of the strongest cellular biosurfactants, is summarized. The mechanism of biosynthesis of hydrophobins, the chemical structures and spectrum of its natural and synthetic isoforms, biological activity, and role in the regulation of vital processes of producers are presented. The potential for using hydrophobins in biotechnology has been demonstrated.
期刊介绍:
Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles on biochemistry and microbiology that have or may have practical applications. The studies include: enzymes and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, biosynthesis of low and high molecular physiologically active compounds; the studies of their structure and properties; biogenesis and pathways of their regulation; metabolism of producers of biologically active compounds, biocatalysis in organic synthesis, applied genetics of microorganisms, applied enzymology; protein and metabolic engineering, biochemical bases of phytoimmunity, applied aspects of biochemical and immunochemical analysis; biodegradation of xenobiotics; biosensors; biomedical research (without clinical studies). Along with experimental works, the journal publishes descriptions of novel research techniques and reviews on selected topics.
