Herbicide glyphosate efficiently inhibits growth of pathogenic Prototheca algae species, suggesting the presence of novel pathways for the development of anti-algal drugs

ABSTRACT Prototheca are ubiquitous algae and occasional pathogens of humans and animals. While rare, the infection is often fatal and treatment options are limited to antifungals with low efficiency. Here, using growth curve assays, we demonstrate that five pathogenic species of Prototheca (P. blasc...
