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...

The quantity of industrially polluted waters is increasing everywhere, which a significant part occupied by number mono- and poly-aromatic compounds. Toxins enter the soil, sewage, clean water mixing with or seeping into them from industrial wastewater. By using 18S RNA ITS sequences, Penicillium commune AL5 strain that was isolated Antarctic soil identified. This study dedicated to exploring i...

the aim of this study was identification of fungi in indoor and outdoor of asthmatic patients´ home environment. opened plates (containing of malt extract agar media) were used for isolation of fungi in the air of indoor (n=360) and outdoor (n=180) of 90 asthmatic patients̉ home living in the city of sari at the level of breathing height. plates were incubated in room temperature for 7-14 days. ...

The aim of this research was the analysis of the possible antagonistic effect of Penicillium oxalicum over the pathogen rice fungus A. alternata under different conditions of temperature, water activity and culture media. The macroscopic study of the dual growth revealed that according to the Index of Dominance P. oxalicum was more competitive that A. alternata at 25°C whereas at 15°C was this ...

Barley can be contaminated with a wide range of fungal secondary metabolites, including various mycotoxins that reduce the quality and safety raw materials as well cause economic losses. A survey was conducted for crop seasons 2016 2017 to analyse mycotoxins, in grain straw samples barley, which originated from fields across Switzerland. In total, 253 237 were analysed by LC-MS/MS detecting 87 ...

Penicillium chrysogenum is a ubiquitous airborne fungus detected in every sampled region of the Earth. Owing to its role in Alexander Fleming's serendipitous discovery of Penicillin in 1928, the fungus has generated widespread scientific interest; however its natural history is not well understood. Research has demonstrated speciation within P. chrysogenum, describing the existence of four cryp...

Penicillium species are rarely reported agents of infections in immunocompromised patients. We report 3 cases of invasive mycosis caused by voriconazole-resistant Penicillium oxalicum in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, diabetes mellitus, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, while on voriconazole therapy. Penicillium oxalicum has not been previously recognized as a cause of invasive ...

The genus Penicillium phylogenetically belongs to Trichocomaceae, with approximately 300 reported species. The majority of these species are saprobic and commonly occur in soil. This paper reports the genome sequence of Penicillium capsulatum strain ATCC 48735, a rare Penicillium species used in paper manufactories and that was recently reported as a human-invasive opportunist.

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi when they colonies the foodstuffs. These potent toxins having severe health consequences in people, being mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic. In agricultural commodities, contamination of mycotoxins is more prevalent. Several can produce on products during harvest or postharvest, have significant adverse effects both animal huma...

Abstract The atmosphere holds a diversity of bioaerosols, which airborne fungi are an important part. Since the discovery relationship indoor air with building disease syndrome, interest in studying (IAF) has increased, addition to focusing on between and outdoor (OAF). current scoping study aimed highlight Iraqi by analyzing original articles that have been conducted Iraq. Just studies involve...
