After publication of the original article [1], the following error was reported in the Results section of the Abstract: "antifungal activity against one yeast i.e. Aspergillus niger" should read: "antifungal activity against one fungus i.e. Aspergillus niger". The authors would like to confirm all antifungal activity has been screened against fungi not yeast.

The respiratory rates of mycelia of the mesophilic fungus, Aspergillus niger, and the thermophilic fungus, Thermomyces lanuginosus, were comparable at their respective temperature optima for growth. The respiratory rate of A. niger was independent of changes in temperature between 15 and 40 C. The respiratory rate of T. lanuginosus increased with increase in temperature between 25 and 55 C.

The biotechnological potential of pectinolytic fungi isolated from citrus fruits was studied. Seventy five fungal isolates were isolated from decayed citrus fruits. All of these isolates were screened for their pectinolytic activity. Thirty six out of seventy five isolates proved to have pectinolytic activity. These isolates were identified and classified into twenty strains belonging to eleven...

background and objective: recent studies have shown that anticholinergic alkaloids compounds have strong analgesic effects. due to presence of anticholinergic alkaloids in hyoscyamus niger and its mentioned effects in iranian traditional medicine, its analgesic effects were assessed. at first, acute and chronic pain thresholds in male nmri rats with formalin test was evaluated, then oral and in...

background: this study aimed to investigate the biosorption of pentachlorophenol on aspergillus niger biomass as a method for removal of pentachlorophenol from aqueous solutions. methods: modified a. niger biomass with naoh was used to absorb the pentachlorophenol. the impacts of various experimental parameters like primary pentachlorophenol concentration, ph of the solution, contact time, and ...

One hundred and three Aspergillus isolates belonging to 12 species including: A. alliaceus, A. candidus, A. carneus, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger var. niger, A. niger var. awamori, A. niveus, A. ochraceous, A. sydowii, A. terreus, A. ustus,and A. versicolor based on morphological characters were obtained from various sources. 

effects of four pesticides (imidacloprid, dichlorvos, pymetrozine and abamectin) were evaluated on life table parameters of orius albidipennis (reuter). pesticides were used at the concentrations recommended by the manufacturers. the bioassays were carried out using drum-cell method, in a growth chamber at 27 â± 1âºc, r.h. of 65 â± 5% and 16 h photo phase. the net reproductive rate (r0) value f...

Injury caused by picture-winged flies or corn silk flies (Diptera: Ulidiidae) is a major limiting factor of corn (Zea mays L.: Poales: Poaceae) yields in Florida. Growers have relied heavily on chemical insecticides for control of these pests. However, we are exploring other methods, such as the use of biological control by predatory arthropods, which may be factors in an integrated pest manage...
