Filamentous fungi of the Ascomycota phylum are known to contain a family of conserved conidiation regulating proteins with distinctive velvet domains. In Aspergilli, this velvet family includes four proteins, VeA, VelB, VelC and VosA, and is involved in conidiation and secondary metabolism along with a global regulator LaeA. In A. terreus, the overexpression of LaeA has been observed to increas...

A new butenolide, aspernolide D (1), and furandione, asperterone (2), together with four known butenolides, butyrolactones I-IV and aspernolide B, were obtained from cultures of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus, isolated from the flowering plant Mammea siamensis. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by analysis of NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data.

Aspergillus terreus gave the overall best results in alpechin at approximately 80% concentration, degrading organic material by 53%, expressed as COD, and 67%, expressed as BOD. Degradation of the total phenol content, which included the great majority of phenolic compounds, reached 69%.

Fungal periprosthetic joint infections due to Aspergillus species are rare but are associated with significant cost and morbidity. We present a case of Asperigillus terreus prosthetic joint infection of the hip. The patient was successfully treated with a prolonged course of systemic antifungals along with surgical management.

Mutastein, an extracellular product of Aspergillus terreus M3328, is a specific inhibitor of adhesive, insoluble glucan synthesis by glucosyltransferases (GTase) of Streptococcus mutans1'®. It is effective in inhibiting the development of caries in rats inoculated with S. mutansz\ Mutastein is heat-stable glycoprotein with a high molecular weight and it is being used commercially as a protectiv...
