Fungal lifestyle reflected in serine protease repertoire

Abstract Fungi are able to switch between different lifestyles in order to adapt to environmental changes. Their ecological strategy is connected to their secretome as fungi obtain nutrients by secreting hydrolytic enzymes to their surrounding and acquiring the digested molecules. We focus on fungal...

description Abstract Fungi are able to switch between different lifestyles in order to adapt to environmental changes.
