DOI: 10.1080/07388551.2019.1601679
Abstract: Killer toxins are proteins that are often glycosylated and bind to specific receptors on the surface of their target microorganism, which is then killed through a target-specific mode of action. The killer phenotype is widespread… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aac.02450-20
Abstract: Compared to other species of Candida yeasts, the growth of Candida glabrata was inhibited by many different strains of Saccharomyces killer yeasts. The ionophoric K1 and K2 killer toxins were broadly inhibitory to all clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021309
Abstract: Three killer toxins that were previously investigated, one excreted by Kluyveromyces wickerhamii and two by different strains of Wickerhamomyces anomalus, were produced at the pilot scale, lyophilized and characterized, and the formulates were assessed for… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/toxins9040112
Abstract: The killer phenomenon is defined as the ability of some yeast to secrete toxins that are lethal to other sensitive yeasts and filamentous fungi. Since the discovery of strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae capable of secreting… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/toxins9100313
Abstract: Yeasts within the Saccharomyces sensu stricto cluster can produce different killer toxins. Each toxin is encoded by a medium size (1.5–2.4 Kb) M dsRNA virus, maintained by a larger helper virus generally called L-A (4.6… read more here.
