Fungi (via acetic acid-induced cell death)

Molecular classification
Other
01

Overview

Fungi are susceptible to acetic acid, which at high concentrations induces regulated cell death through a mechanism involving intracellular acidification, vacuolar permeabilization, protease release (e.g., Pep4p), and increased ROS/caspase-like activity. This pathway presents a potential target for antifungal drug development.
