Introduction: Nutritional requirements of fungi are essential for their successful growth in laboratories. Some fungi feed on the compounds present in the insects' bodies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of insects' body powder (IBP) as a supplement for the fungi growth in culture media. Methods: We used 10 mg of IBP, obtained from Anopheles superpictus and Culex theileri mosqu...

this study was carried out to continue identifying unknown and less known anamorphic fungi from guilan province. plant materials with fungal signs and symptoms were collected and examined to identify causal agents. four species viz. alternariacalendulae (on calendulaofficinalis), pseudocercosporasordida(on campsis sp.), thedgonia ligustrina (on ligustrum vulgare) and zygosporium oscheoides (on ...

microorganisms are important components of soil. some soil filamentous fungi such aspenicilium produce many bioactive small molecules, or secondary metabolites, that range frombeneficial bioactive compounds to harmful toxins. in this study, the metabolites of threepenicillium species (p. goditanum, p. moldavicum and p. corylophilum) were extracted byadding ethyl acetate to liquid cultures. the ...

during the last two decades or so, the incidence of fungal infections has increased dramatically. deep- seated mycoses are creating serious problems for clinicians working with certain populations of patients, such as those with cancer, the immunocompromised, and physiologically compromised. a study of fungal isolated for identification of deep fungal infections, risk factors and etiologic agen...

background : the aim of this study was to detect fungi in atherosclerotic plaques and investigate their possible role in atherosclerosis. methods : coronary atherosclerotic plaques specimen were obtained from patients with atherosclerosis. direct exami-nation, culture, histopathology study, pcr and sequencing were performed to detect/identify the mycotic elements in the plaques. age, sex, smoki...

abstract sclerogenic fungal pathogens, are among the most important diseases of rice plant. sheath blight caused by rhizoctonia solani is one of the economically important diseases that attack a wide range of hosts. stem rot (magnaporthe salvinii) has also been found with different severity in most fields of guilan province. to determine sclerogenic fungal pathogens of rice plant, 141 isolates ...

The majority of diseases caused by air pollution, such as asthma and allergies, are caused by pathogenic bacteria, which are transmitted through bioaerosols. Bacteria and fungi are the main sources of hospital infections causing the majority of diseases and cases of mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the ratio of indoor to outdoor fungi concentration, the effect of population den...

the isolated fungi species of different kinds from chromium contaminated soil sites located in nagalkeni, chennai were used for reducing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater of nagalkeni, chennai.  the experiments were conducted to know biosorption potential of isolated fungi species for removing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater against the different ph, fungi biomass and ...
