Penicillium marneffei is an important human immunodeficiency virus-associated opportunistic infection endemic in Southeast Asia. Central nervous system infection has not been described. We report the first case series of 21 human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients who presented with a syndrome consistent with acute central nervous system infection and who had Penicillium marneffei isolate...

Penicillium sclerotiorum is a distinctive species within the genus Penicillium that usually produces vivid orange to red colonies, sometimes with colorful sclerotia. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of P. sclerotiorum strain 113, isolated in 2013 in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy from a flooded home in New Jersey.

background: tannase can be obtained from the various sources for example tannin rich plants; however microbial sources are preferred for industrial production. in microbial sources, the aspergillus and penicillium genus and lactic acid bacteria mostly produce tannase. however, it has been identified that this enzyme is produced by many fungi and bacteria, but researches are continuing to find n...

in this study, the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles by penicillium chrysogenum, isolated from ahar copper mine, was investigated. the gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing the aqueous gold ions using the culture supernatant of the filamentous fungi. the uv–vis spectrum displayed a characteristic peak at 532 nm that is very specific for gold nanoparticles. the xrd spectrum confirmed ...

13 samples were collected from phone screens and headphones, the sample was by a cotton swab planted on Petri dishes. A number of fungal species isolated, their reached six types fungi, where most common fungi in Aspergillus, while headphones are Penicillium Aspergillus fungi. In addition to that, highest frequency with an incidence rate 30.76%, headphone Penicillium, 30.76%.

Pectin lyase and polygalacturonase production by newly isolated fungal strains was carried out in solid-state fermentation. Moniliella SB9 and Penicillium sp EGC5 produced polygalcturonase (PG) and pectin lyase (PL) on mixture of orange bagasse, sugar cane bagasse and wheat bran as substrate. PG and PL produced by Moniliella presented optimum activity at pH 4.5 and 10.0 and at 55 and 45°C, resp...

A 35 year old HIV positive patient from Hong Kong presented with a fever, cough and a skin rash in association with a lung mass, all of which were due to disseminated Penicillium marneVei infection. He made a good response to antifungal therapy. The lung mass is a previously undescribed pulmonary manifestation of disseminated Penicillium marneVei infection. Infections with this fungus should be...

During a survey of marine fungi from the waters surrounding Jeju Island, Korea, several Penicillium strains were isolated from seawater and marine sponges. Based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer and RNA polymerase subunit II, four strains were identified as Penicillium antarcticum, a fungus that, to the best of our knowledge, had not ...
