Antioxidants Potential of the Filamentous Fungi (Mucor circinelloides)
Three important strains of Mucorcircinelloides grown in complete and minimal media for specified period (72 h, 120 h and 168 h) under submerged fermentation conditions were investigated for their potential antioxidants/secondary metabolite production. All mycelial extracts demonstrated effective antioxidant activities in terms of β-carotene/linoleic acid bleaching, radical scavenging, reduction...
متن کاملWhat Thrives Inside; The World Within the Gut
We all have bacteria in our guts, and so do all animals, including birds. These bacteria are good for us in many ways and help to digest the food we eat. We often see similar groups of bacteria in the guts of animals that are related to each other. But it is not clear why this is. It could be because similar animals eat similar foods, or maybe because of other similarities between the related a...
متن کاملSporangiospore Size Dimorphism Is Linked to Virulence of Mucor circinelloides
Mucor circinelloides is a zygomycete fungus and an emerging opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients, especially transplant recipients and in some cases otherwise healthy individuals. We have discovered a novel example of size dimorphism linked to virulence. M. circinelloides is a heterothallic fungus: (+) sex allele encodes SexP and (-) sex allele SexM, both of which are HMG domain...
متن کاملStress Responses of Genetically Modified Mucor Circinelloides Strains
The stress-related responses of Mucor circinelloides transformants altered in carotenoid production have been investigated. In zygomycetous fungi β-carotene is the predominant carotenoid, however, in transformants containing the crtW and crtZ astaxanthin biosynthesis genes from Agrobacterium aurantiacum new carotenoid compounds are present. Mucor strains with altered carotenoid content were tre...
متن کاملDetection of the Dimorphic Phases of Mucor circinelloides in Blood Cultures from an Immunosuppressed Female
Mucormycosis fungemia is rarely documented since blood cultures are nearly always negative. We describe a case of Mucor circinelloides fungemia in a patient with a history of a sinus infection, sarcoidosis, and IgG deficiency. The identity of the isolate was supported by its microscopic morphology and its ability to convert into yeast forms under anaerobic conditions. The early detection, initi...
