摘要
Scanning electron microscopy showed that vicilins from cowpea seeds affect the growth and inhibit spore germination of Fusarium oxysporum and leads to abnormal development (sporulation) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Control treatments induced normal hyphal and cell development. Fluorescence microscopy and immunolabelling analysis showed that anti-vicilin serum strongly labelled the cell surfaces of yeast and filamentous fungi, previously incubated with these seed proteins. These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of cowpea vicilins on fungi growth may be exerted through their ability to bind to the cell surfaces of the micro-organisms, cell wall and/or plasma membrane.
