Fifty three fungi isolated from soils of different microhabitats of eastern Himalayan range (3,400~3,600 msl) were screened for mycosynthesis of silver nanaoparticles (AgNPs) and their efficacy as antimicrobials were assessed in combination with commonly used antibiotics. Three isolates Aspergillus terreus SP5, Paecilomyces lilacinus SF1 and Fusarium sp. MP5 identified based on morphological an...

Dear Editor, Paecilomyces, which is found in soil and decaying vegetables, is a rare pathogen causing local and systemic infections [1].

A 69-year-old woman was referred by a local ophthalmologist for the management of presumed fungal keratitis in the left eye...

This study examined the distribution of culturable fungi and predominant genera in organic layer upper layers mineral soil six broad-leaved tree plantations autumn, after full fall leaves. In total, 1335 fungal isolates were recovered from an two (0–4 cm 5–8 cm) soil. The structure differed three studied layers. was most populated by compared to layer, Penicillium phyllosphere such as Cladospor...
