Oral microbiota is one of the most complex and diverse microbial communities in the human body. In the present study, we aimed to characterize oral fungi biodiversity and stability over time in a group of healthy participants with good oral health. Oral health and oral fungal microbiota were evaluated in 40 healthy individuals. A follow-up of 10 participants was carried out 28 weeks and 30 week...

This study was conducted to determine fungal spores in the indoor air of the houses in the city of Afyon, Western-Anatolia, Turkey. We investigated the seasonal properties of mould spores in 10 houses of Afyon over a period of one year. Viable moulds were recovered from all 10 houses. Twenty seven different moulds were isolated and identified from the indoor air of the houses. The most common g...

MATERIAL AND METHODS Four kinds of grapes cultivated summer of 2010 in vineyard of Takestan and also grape derived products from Shahrod, Hamedan and Takestan were used for this study. The samples were cultured in specific media...

The aim of the studies was to evaluate effects acetic acid treatments on quality stored onion seeds. Seeds two samples were soaked for 30 min in 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2% solutions. Controls included untreated seeds, seeds distilled water treated with fungicide Zaprawa Nasienna T 75 WS/DS (a.i. 75% thiram). Germination, vigour health evaluated before after 2, 6 12 months storage at 4 20 °C. Treating ...

The antagonistic effect of Trichoderma harzianum on a range of seed-borne fungal pathogens of wheat (viz. Fusarium graminearum, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Aspergillus spp., and Penicillium spp.) was assessed. The potential of T. harzianum as a biocontrol agent was tested in vitro and under field conditions. Coculture of the pathogens and Trichoderma under laboratory conditions clearly showed domina...

Microbiological quality control of 13 pollen samples purchased from local markets and 2 other samples provided by apiarists was investigated. TAMC ranged from 3.00 to 5.48 Log CFU/g. TMYC was between 2.3 and 6.99 Log CFU/g. Staphylococcus aureus was recovered with high density in 14 samples (up to 8.32 Log CFU/g) and Enterobactericeae count ranges from 4.18 to 8.018 Log CFU/g. Moreover, Salmone...

Dry-cured meat production has a long tradition in Norway. Presently, the annual production is around 1700 tons with an approximate per capita consumption of 0.5 kilos. However, many producers are facing a significant quality and economic problems due to uncontrolled fungal growth. With the aim of assessing the diversity of fungi contaminating Norwegian dry-cured meat products, 72 samples were c...

Background. The growing resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents is a pressing public health issue. Bioprospecting efforts have mainly focused on well-known environments such as soil and animal gut in search for with antibiotic production or activity, terrestrial ecosystems endemic plants bioactive compounds. However, microbial communities thriving stressed hot springs, are potentia...
