-M ortierella multidivaricata is described and placed in a new subgenus, Gamsiella, of M ortierella. It is distinguished from species of subgenus M ortierella in having repeatedly divaricately branched sporangiophores. Large numbers of sporangiola develop simultaneously on slender, attenuate pedicels arising from the ultimate branches of the sporangiophore. The sporangiole of M. multidivaricata...

Mucormycosis has emerged as a relatively common severe mycosis in patients with haematological and allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Source of transmission is from unidentified sources in the environment. Early diagnosis of infection and its source of contamination are paramount for rapid and appropriate therapy. In this study, rolling circle amplification (RCA) is introduced as a sensitive...

In this study, the degradation of metalaxyl was investigated in the presence of two Mucorales strains, previously isolated from soil subjected to repeated treatments with this fungicide and selected after enrichment technique. Fungal strains were characterised by a polyphasic approach using phylogenetic analysis of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gene region, phenotypic characterisation b...

La mucormicosis es una micosis oportunista y poco frecuente, producida por hongos Zygomicetos del orden Mucorales, asociada con inmunosupresión de curso agresivo. Puede dividirse en varios tipos, rinocerebral, cutánea pulmonar. Generalmente, se adquiere vía respiratoria. caracteriza infarto necrosis tejidos huésped. Se puede describir como “hongo negro, porque los infectados tornan negros. tasa...

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection due to organisms of the Zygomycetes class and order Mucorales that can cause various types infections. In recent years, increasing phenomenon has been observed—invasive infections especially in healthcare setting. Among immucompromised patients, important clinical emergency could be represented by mucormycosis. The epidemiology mucormycosis show...
