Mexico is among the most important citrus fruit producers in world. However, during storage, several problems related to fungi can arise. The common fungal postharvest diseases detected on Citrus limon var Eureka (Italian lime) produced Tamaulipas state are green/blue mold (Penicillium spp.), fusarium rot (F. oxysporum, F. solani, proliferatum, others), and anthracnose (Colletotrichum spp.). In...

The primary objective of this research was to investigate the chemical and biological properties compost produced from different row materials. These materials are solid waste organic houses, residues plants, manure animals, paper grass. process composting produce mature takes 30 days. Nevertheless, assessed characteristics included: pH, EC, total carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous matter. pH value ...

Background and Purpose: Airborne fungi are one of the most important agents responsible for triggering allergic reactions such as rhinitis and severe asthma. This study was conducted to analyze and monitor the prevalence and distribution patterns of atmospheric fungal aerosols in the air of Qazvin during winter of 2012. Materials and Methods: In the current descriptive study, the incidence ...

Posaconazole, ravuconazole, and voriconazole are new triazole derivatives that possess potent, broad-spectrum antifungal activity. We evaluated the in vitro activity of these investigational triazoles compared with that of itraconazole and amphotericin B against 239 clinical isolates of filamentous fungi from the SENTRY Program, including Aspergillus spp. (198 isolates), Fusarium spp. (7 isolat...

This study investigated the rate of potentially pathogenic bacteria in fresh soft cheeses made on small dairy farms in Serbia. This type of cheese is made on individual farms from cow, sheep and goat milk. White fresh cheeses from mountain villages of Serbia are economically important for these areas. The purpose of this study was to investigate the micro flora of white cheeses with special emp...

Recently, we found that fungi are involved in breaking seed dormancy of Opuntia streptacantha, and that the effect of fungi on seeds is species-specific. However, the effect of fungi on seed germination from other Opuntia spp has not been evaluated. Thus, we evaluated the effect of four fungal species (Penicillium chrysogenum, Phoma sp., Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma koningii) on the germi...
