cercosporoid fungi including the genus cercospora and other morphologically similar genera are associated with leaf spot symptoms on various host plants. in this research three taxa including passalora cucurbiticola (on cucurbita sp.), p. bolleana (on ficus carica), and pseudocercosporella capsellae (on capsella bursa-pastoris, sinapis arvensis) were identified. among these, p. cucurbiticola an...

My colleagues and I appreciate the comments and constructive suggestions on our manuscript "Mycobiota and Mycotoxins in Traditional Medicinal Seeds from China".[...].

The human fungal microbiota known as mycobiota is increasingly recognized as a critical factor in human gut health and disease. Non-pathogenic commensal yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae promote homeostasis in the gut, whereas dysbiosis of the gut mycobiota is associated with inflammation. Glycan-binding receptors (lectins) are key host factors in host-mycobiota interaction in the gut. Th...

Fifty Fusarium isolates were obtained from 20 garden soil samples in Hormozgan province (S Iran). The isolates were identified based on morphological and molecular data. Sequence data were generated for TEF-1αgene, following PCR amplification. Among the identified species, Fusariummangiferae, F.gaditjirrii, and F. decemcellularerepresent new records to the mycobiota of Iran.

in this paper the taxonomy of some previously reported taxa as cercospora apii s.lat. in iran, is discussed and some new records are listed. cercospora species on abelia grandiflora (c. deutziae), erythrina crista-galli (c. erythrinicola), euphorbia heterophylla (c. pulcherrimae) and zanthedeschia aethiopica (c. richardiicola) are new for mycobiota of iran. cercospora iridis which was previousl...

the preliminary result of a survey conducted on xylaria species in the north of iran is presented. based on morphological examination of fungal specimens collected from guilan, mazandaran and golestan provinces, eight species including xylaria arbuscula, x. cubensis, x. filiformis, x. hypoxylon, x. longipes, x. multiplex, x. pannosa, and x. polymorpha were identified. among the identified speci...

during the visits of common reed [phragmites australis (cav.) trin. ex steud] in different locations of west azerbaijan province during 2015–16, symptoms of fungal infections was frequently observed. among the isolated and studied fungi, deightoniella arundinacea (corda) s. hughes was commonly observed. based on available literatures, this species was found new to mycobiota of iran.

The microbes colonizing the infant gastrointestinal tract have been implicated in later-life disease states such as allergies and obesity. Recently, the medical research community has begun to realize that very early colonization events may be most impactful on future health, with the presence of key taxa required for proper immune and metabolic development. However, most studies to date have f...

Fungi are the organisms present universally in environment from ancient times. Being regarded as an essential part of human mycobiome either commensals or opportunistic pathogens they hold a spectacular place our lives. Mycobiome is growing field interest, but some questions still remain lurking like how fungi exactly modulate health and disease. Most studies focus on interactions immune system...

During last decade, the decline of elm trees was observed in Fars province (Iran) due to a wood decaying agent in heartwood of the trees. Unknown basidiomycete isolates were frequently isolated from such trees. The objective of the present study was to identify the basidiomycete isolates by molecular phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacers of ribosomal DNA. For this purpose, i...
