Hydrophobins are produced by filamentous fungi and consist of
a large family of small cysteine-rich proteins with a molecular mass
of ca.10 kDa [10]. Due to the cysteine distribution and the clustering
of hydrophobic and hydrophilic aminoacid residues, two main
classes have been identified: namely, class I (such as SC3 and EAS)
and class II (HFBI and HFBII) [11,12].
