RESUMO A família Lysuraceae Corda (Phallales) engloba espécies de fungos gasteroides que apresentam um basidioma expandido pseudoestipitado com receptáculo diferenciado no ápice, e gleba mucilaginosa geralmente exala odor semelhante à carne em decomposição. No Estado da Bahia, espécimes Lysurus sphaerocephalum (Schltdl.) Hern. Caff. et al. foram coletados, fotografados preservados Herbário HVC....

some yeast species play important roles in biological control of some fruits’ post harvest infections. for instant, candida, rhodotorula and pichia species employed in biological control of such post harvest diseases as blue mold (penicillium expansum), and also grey mold (botrytis mali) in apple. species identification of yeasts is some most essential part of the related research activities. d...

Background: Legumes are plants that contain edible seeds and belong to the family Leguminosae with varying nutritional benefits to humans and animals. This study aimed to detect and identify toxicogenic molds on some legumes purchased from two local markets in Ho Municipality, Ghana. Methods: A total of 36 samples, including cowpea (n=9), soybean (n=9), brown bean (n=9), and Bambara bean (n=9)...

The role of the fungal community, mycobiota, in health vagina is currently an important area research. emergence new sequencing technologies and advances bioinformatics made possible discovery novel fungi inhabiting this niche. Candida spp. constitutes most group opportunistic pathogenic fungi, being prevalent species vulvovaginal infections. However, such as Rhodotorula spp., Naganishia Malass...

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are important biopolymers with diverse applications such as gelling compounds in food and cosmetic industries bio-flocculants pollution remediation bioplastics production. This research focuses on enhancing crude EPS production from Rhodotorula mucilaginosa sp. GUMS16 using the central composite design method which five levels of process variables sucrose, pH, ammonium...

Four Gram-positive cocci were isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid or blood of four different patients, but they could not be identified by an automated conventional identification system, so they were identified using cellular fatty acid (CFA) composition analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. Of these, two strains (SMC-A2662 and SMCA5889), which were previously supposed to be Rothia...

Two novel endophytic yeast strains, WP1 and PTD3, isolated from within the stems of poplar (Populus) trees, were genetically characterized with respect to their xylose metabolism genes. These two strains, belonging to the species Rhodotorula graminis and R. mucilaginosa, respectively, utilize both hexose and pentose sugars, including the common plant pentose sugar, D-xylose. The xylose reductas...
