In this study, firstly yeast was isolated from 50 white cheese samples produced by traditional methods raw milk. The species were and identified with the VITEK2 Compact system. There obtained 90 isolates 35.6% Candida sake (32), 13.3% zeylanoides (12), 8.9% famata (8) kefyr remaining 33.3% sphaerica (4), colliculasa (2), boidinii lusitaniae parapsilosis (4) Cryptococcus laurentii krusei Sacchar...

One new hydroanthraquinone dimer with a rare C-9-C-7' linkage, nigrodiquinone A (1), and four known anthraquinone monomers 2-5, were isolated from a fungus Nigrospora sp. obtained from the zoanthid Palythoa haddoni collected in the South China Sea. The structure of 1 was established through extensive NMR spectroscopy, and the absolute configuration was elucidated by comparing computed electroni...

Duas lactonas bicíclicas com anéis gem-dimetilciclohexano (δ-bromo-γ-lactona e δ-iodo-γ-lactona) foram utilizadas como substratos para biotransformação por células inteiras de várias estirpes fúngicas (cinco Fusarium strains, Nigrospora oryzae, Syncephalastrum racemosum, Stemphylium botryosum e Cunninghamella japonicae Acremonium sp). Alguns dos microorganismos selecionados (principalmente cepa...

Fungal communities were isolated from surface sterilized leaf segments of nine ethnopharmaceutically important medicinal herbs collected from the Bhadra River Project Area, the Malnad region, Southern India. A total of 2159 isolates belonging to 55 different fungal species were isolated from 3600 leaf segments collected during the wet and dry seasons. Chaetomium globosum (7.3%), Aureobasidium p...

Agricultural research of plant-derived endophytic fungi has grown in recent decades. We isolated 26 endophytic fungi from the leaves, stems and fruits of "the tree of life", Camptotheca acuminata, and tested them for antimicrobial activities based on growth inhibition measurements in a modified agar diffusion method. Fermentation broths from most of the isolates exhibited antifungal activity an...

Efficacy of aqueous extracts of different plant parts and biocontrol agents was tested against the growth of three post-harvest fungal pathogens of banana (Macrophomina phaseolina R-4242, Fusarium oxysporum sp. QJC1403 and Nigrospora oryzae NRRL 54030).The plant extracts when applied as preand post-inoculation treatments were effective in controlling the growth of the three pathogenic fungi. Ex...
