Abstract The fungal genus Alternaria is a relevant pathogen for several commodities including citrus and pomegranate fruits. On citrus, it mainly causes brown spots on fruits leaves, whereas pomegranate, mostly fruit heart rot. In the present study presence of rots cultivated in Albania was assessed. Representative were collected from different regions. Nineteen thirteen spp. isolates obtained ...

Abstract Molecular phylogenetics has fundamentally altered our understanding of the taxonomy, systematics and biogeography corals. Recently developed phylogenomic techniques have started to resolve species-level relationships in diverse ecologically important genus Acropora, providing a path taxonomy this notoriously problematic group. We used targeted capture dataset (2032 loci) investigate sy...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of Alternaria isolates from workplaces to produce Alt a 1 allergenic protein, and to analyze whether technical materials (cellulose, compost, leather) present within the working environment stimulate or inhibit Alt a 1 production (ELISA test). Studies included identification of the isolated molds by nucleotide sequences analyzing of the ITS1/ITS2...

The Alternaria and Ulocladium species reported from humans are studied taxonomically using rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence data. The ITS variability within the genus is relatively limited. The two most important, longicatenate species, Alternaria alternata and A. infectoria, clearly differ in their ITS domains, due to a 26-bp insert in ITS1 of the latter species. A number of tax...
