Chaetomium globosum is one of the most common fungi that grows in damp buildings and occurs in agricultural and forestry workplaces. Using sera from atopic patients, we characterized and purified an extracellular chitosanase (Chg47) from C. globosum that is antigenic to humans. The study reports the production of monoclonal antibodies to the protein. Three capture ELISAs were developed for Chg4...

The study of naturally occurring compounds from plants has progressed to its present state of development by passing through a long time. Fungi have an excellent record in producing novel bioactive compounds and many of these presently have important medicinal properties. We subsequently isolated few endophytic fungi from plant parts and tested for the production of taxol like compound. Medicin...

Barley fields and storages in GolestanProvince (northeastern Iran in south bank of the Caspian Sea), surveyed in 2005 and 40 grain samples were randomly collected for identification of fungi associated with them. Fungi were isolated from these samples by agar plating, deep freezing blotter and seed washing methods. Some six hundred fungal isolates were obtained, among which 30 species belonging...

Protein–metabolite interactions play an important role in the cell’s metabolism and many methods have been developed to screen them vitro . However, few can be applied at a large scale not alter biological state. Here we describe proteometabolomic approach, using chromatography generate cell fractions which are then analyzed with mass spectrometry for both protein metabolite identification. Int...
