The distribution of bio-aerosols in diverse environments is a major concern to aero-microbiologists and environmentalists general. study evaluated the mycological quality air environment around market along East-West road Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Petri dish containing sterile Potatoes dextrose agar was exposed for 10 minutes state at height 1 meter. density diversity isolates were determined fol...

Species limits within the clinically important Fusarium incarnatum-F. equiseti and F. chlamydosporum species complexes (FIESC and FCSC, respectively) were investigated using multilocus DNA sequence data. Maximum-parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses of aligned DNA sequences from four loci resolved 28 species within the FIESC, within which the species were evenly divided among two clades des...

<p class="abstrakinggris"><span lang="EN-US">As a generalist pathogen in cereals, <em>Fusarium </em>spp. become the most threatening fungi which can conduct its saprogenesis by infecting seeds. Determination of fungal identity and yield loss risk is needed to modify effective controlling strategies. However, there no report on implementing methods for foxtail millet (&lt...

The first total synthesis of (+)-chloriolide, a 12-membered macrolide from Chloridium virescens (var. chlamydosporum), was accomplished in a longest linear sequence of 20 steps from commercial materials in 7% overall yield.

The first report, to our knowledge, on the occurrence of filamentous fungi in the hypersaline (340 g salt l-1) Dead Sea is presented. Three species of filamentous fungi from surface water samples of the Dead Sea were isolated: Gymnascella marismortui (Ascomycota), which is described as a new species, Ulocladium chlamydosporum and Penicillium westlingii (Deuteromycota). G. marismortui and U. chl...

Abstract Background Pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) depends mainly on their ability to produce efficient enzymes, which degrade insect’s integument and other cellular components. Lipases are the first enzymes secreted by these fungi, then proteases, phospholipases, chitinases. Results Twenty-six fungal strains, isolated from aphids, Aphis sp., Linnaeus (Homoptera, Aphididae), toma...
