A post-operative diabetic patient who had been treated for Serratia marcescens bacterial sepsis developed recurrent thrombosis of the left femoral artery following intra-arterial instrumentation. Pathological examination of arterial thrombus ultimately demonstrated invasive mucormycosis of the femoral artery and cultures of this material grew Rhizopus oryzae. The occurrence of cutaneous and sub...

The antifungal susceptibility profiles of 77 clinical strains of Mucorales species, identified by internal transcribed spacer sequencing, were analyzed. MICs obtained at 24 and 48 h were compared. Amphotericin B was the most active agent against all isolates, except for Cunninghamella and Apophysomyces isolates. Posaconazole also showed good activity for all species but Cunninghamella bertholle...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the production of flavor compounds from olive mill waste by microbial fermentation of Rhizopus oryzae and Candida tropicalis. Olive mill waste fermentations were performed in shake and bioreactor cultures. Production of flavor compounds from olive mill waste was followed by Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry, Gas chromatography- olfactometry and Sp...

Gastric mucormycosis is a rare disease with a reported fatal outcome of 98%. Manifestations range from colonization of peptic ulcers to infiltrative disease with vascular invasion and dissemination. In our renal transplant patient a deep gastric ulceration infected with Rhizopus oryzae (class Zygomycetes), which is known to be an agent of mucormycosis, was diagnosed in the early posttransplant ...

With the expansion of immune-impaired people during second wave Covid-19 case mucormycosis and aspergillosis caused by different fungi such as Rhizopus oryzae, Candida albicans Aspergillus niger arose in states. The current study reveals molecular interaction ligand protein to find novel natural drug. docking was carried out CB-dock tool compound n-heptadecanol-1 were docked with opportunistic ...

BACKGROUND Production of biodiesel from non-edible oils is receiving increasing attention. Tung oil, called "China wood oil" is one kind of promising non-edible biodiesel oil in China. To our knowledge, tung oil has not been used to produce biodiesel by enzymatic method. The enzymatic production of biodiesel has been investigated extensively by using Rhizopus oryzae lipase as catalyst. However,...

This work mainly focus on factors relevant for improvement of enzyme hydrolysis by using Rhizopus oryzae MTCC 9642 in submerged fermentation. Several cultural conditions were examined to access their effect in optimizing enzyme production. The Rhizopus oryzae PR7 MTCC 9642 showed best growth at 28°C within a broad pH range of 6.0 to 10.0 with an optimal temperature and pH of isoamylase synthesi...

The aim of this study was to characterize the bioflocculants secreted from Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), Aspergillus oryzae (A. oryzae) and Rhizopus oligosporus (R. oligosporus). For precise investigation of bioflocculants, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was performed, and pH and temperature stability, and decolorization efficiency were evaluated. In addition, the effects of ...
