Biochemical characteristics of extracts from proallergenic microfungi Erysiphe Palczewskii and Erysiphe convolvuli.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Phytopathogenic microfungi Erysiphe palczewskii and Erysiphe convolvuli, are ectoparasites causing powdery mildew in common plants. Fungi often produce immunogenic factors triggering allergic reactions, with airborne protein allergens playing a pivotal role in respiratory allergies. This study delves into the biochemical characterization of E. palczewskii and E. convolvuli, focusing on their potential allergenic properties.

Methods

The composition of the tested fungi's fatty acids and sugars was analyzed using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC/MS). Protein extracts were also subjected to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (LC/MS).

Results

The proteomic analysis of E. palczewskii identified 1118 peptides, with 68.8% uniqu
