VT-1161 Protects Immunosuppressed Mice from Rhizopus arrhizus var. arrhizus Infection

Ventriculitis due to infection with Rhizopus arrhizus

A 52-year-old heart-lung transplant patient presented to the emergency department with acute onset of neurologic symptoms. MRI showed ballooning of the left ventricle, midline shift and contrast enhancement in the anterior horn of the left ventricle. Ventricle neuroendoscopy revealed whitish, floccose aerial structures within the left ventricle. Brain biopsy cultures grew Rhizopus arrhizus. The...

APX001A Protects Immunosuppressed Mice from Rhizopus delemar Infection

The mechanism of thorium biosorption by Rhizopus arrhizus.

Inactive cells of Rhizopus arrhizus have been documented to exhibit a high thorium biosorptive uptake (170 mg/g) from aqueous solutions. The mechanism of thorium sequestering by this biomass type was investigated following the same method as for the uranium biosorption mechanism. The thorium sequestering mechanism appeared somewhat different from that of uranium. Experimental evidence is presen...

Esterification reactions catalysed by surfactant-coated Rhizopus arrhizus lipase

The esterification activity of microbial lipase (triacyl glycerol hydrolase, E.C. 3.1.1.3) in water-organic biphasic solvent system has been investigated. The lipase produced from Rhizopus arrhizus NCM997 strain by solid-state fermentation, using rice bran as substrate, exhibited novel capability of catalyzing esterification reaction. The partially purified lipase was coated with nonionic surfa...

Species and Varieties in the Rhizopus Arrhizus-rhizopus Oryzae Group as Indicated by Their Dna Complementarity

DNA renaturation experiments gave evidence to conclude that Rhizopus arrhizus, R. OIyzae, R. delemar, Amylomyces rou.xii, R. delemar var. minimus, R. delemar var. multiplicisporus, R. arrhizus var. delemar, R. chungkuoensis var. isqfermentarius, and R. javanicus var. kawasakiensis can be accommodated in three taxa, namely, R. arrhizus var. arrhizus, R. arrhizus var. rozedi, and R. arrhizus var....
