in this study , samples of oily nuts using for human consumption ( pistachio- peanuts- walnut …..) were randomly obtained from markets in three geografical regions (south, east and west) of tehran. they were immidiatedly sent to mycology lab. then they were prepared for detection of fungi on sabour glucose , rose bangal and chapex agars. analysis of fungi were done by slide-culture, detection o...

Fungal acquisition of resources is difficult to assess in the field. To determine whether fungi received carbon from recent plant photosynthate, litter or soil-derived organic (C:N bonded) nitrogen, we examined differences in δ13C among bulk tissue, structural carbon, and protein extracts of sporocarps of three fungal types: saprotrophic fungi, fungi with hydrophobic ectomycorrhizae, or fungi w...

Fungi are major players in the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems due to the wide range of interactions they have with plants either through soil degradation processes by litter decayers or biotrophic interactions with pathogenic and ectomycorrhizal symbionts. Secretion of fungal proteins mediates these interactions by allowing the fungus to interact with its environment and/or host. Ectomycorrh...

the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on nitrogen concentration of berseem clover were examined in contaminated soil with cadmium. examined factors included: levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation ( glomus mosseae ) (with and without inoculation), and different levels of soil contamination by cadmium (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg.kg-1). the results showed that the effects of cad...

introduction fungal prosthetic valve endocarditis (pve) is rare but serious complication of valve replacement surgery. candida species, particularly candida albicans is the most common isolated pathogen in fungal pve (1–6%of cases). case presentation we describe a 35-year-old woman who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement about 3 years ago. she was admitted with neurological symptoms a...

abstract background: bioaerosol is defined as airborne particles such as living organisms include bacteria, fungi and their related metabolites, such as endotoxin. over the recent years, health effects of bioaerosols such as infectious and respiratory diseases, acute toxic effects, allergies and cancer have been considered. the aim of this study was to evaluate the bacterial and fungal concentr...

asparaginase and amylase are widely used enzymes in various industries, which can be produced by endophytic fungi. in this study, the ability of producing these two enzymes in endophytic fungi isolated from six species of thymus has been reported for the first time in the world. among 89 isolates of the test, 34 isolates produced asparaginase among which m24 (fusarium subglutinans) displayed th...
