Abstract
A novel cytotoxic protein is described possessing antifungal activity and which may be used for the treatment of fungal infections, or the prevention or control of fungal growth, as well as being potentially valuable as a biopesticide such as an insecticide, nematicide, or herbicide. The protein is produced by culture of Pichia inositovora strain NRRL Y-18709, and may be subsequently recovered from the culture medium and purified.
