In this study, we investigated the microbiota dynamics during two industrial-scale traditional solid-state fermentation (SSF) processes of Daqu starters. Similar evolution profiles of environmental parameters, enzymatic activities, microbial amounts, and communities were observed during the medium temperature SSF (MTSSF) and low temperature SSF (LTSSF) processes. Orders of Rickettsiales and Str...

The Mucorales (Mucoromycotina) are one of the most ancient groups of fungi comprising ubiquitous, mostly saprotrophic organisms. The first comprehensive molecular studies 11 yr ago revealed the traditional classification scheme, mainly based on morphology, as highly artificial. Since then only single clades have been investigated in detail but a robust classification of the higher levels based ...

BACKGROUND Lichtheimia corymbifera (previously Absidia corymbifera) is a filamentous zygomycetes belonging to the order Mucorales and to the family Lichtheimiaceae. Members of genus Lichtheimia spp. are cosmopolitan and ubiquitous in nature. Lichtheimia corymbifera is a recognized agent of diseases in man and animals. In cattle it causes abortion and mastitis. Three cases of bovine abortion occ...

A population-based survey was conducted to investigate the epidemiology of and antifungal resistance in Spanish clinical strains of filamentous fungi isolated from deep tissue samples, blood cultures, and respiratory samples. The study was conducted in two different periods (October 2010 and May 2011) to analyze seasonal variations. A total of 325 strains were isolated in 29 different hospitals...

An immunodiffusion technique was used to evaluate the antigenic relationship of various pathogenic and saprobic Basidiobolus spp., Conidiobolus spp., isolates of the order Mucorales, and several other medically important nonzygomycetous fungi. The antiserum to Basidiobolus haptosporus shared two lines of identity, designated inner (N) and outer (Y), when tested against exoantigens of known stra...

OBJECTIVES The activity in vitro of terbinafine against 442 clinical isolates of several species of filamentous fungi was analysed. METHODS A broth microdilution test was carried out following the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards reference method, with modifications described previously. RESULTS The geometric mean (GM) of MICs of terbinafine for non-Aspergillus fumigatus...

<p>Mucormycosis, previously termed as zygomycosis, is an opportunistic infection and caused by fungi belonging to the order Mucorales. It found in patients with predisposing conditions such diabetic ketoacidosis, chronic kidney disease malignancy long-term steroid use immunosuppressant drugs. Mucormycosis involving paranasal sinuses a rare life-threatening covid positive patient. The unpr...

Background: Mucormycosis is a rare, aggressive, and fatal infection caused by fungi of the Mucorales order Zygomycete fungi. mainly found in patients with chronic conditions, clinical cases are observed only immunocompromised uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Rhinocerebral type most prevalent mucormycosis which has characteristic method spread. Although involvement cranial nerves not common, it c...

Dialysis patients with chronic renal failure receiving deferoxamine for treating iron overload are uniquely predisposed for mucormycosis, which is most often caused by Rhizopus oryzae. Although the deferoxamine siderophore is not secreted by Mucorales, previous studies established that Rhizopus species utilize iron from ferrioxamine (iron-rich form of deferoxamine). Here we determined that the ...
