A new indolyl-6,10b-dihydro-5aH-[1]benzofuro[2,3-b]indole derivative, varioloid A (1), was isolated from the marine alga-derived endophytic fungus Paecilomyces variotii EN-291. Its structure was elucidated on the basis of extensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR data and the absolute configuration was determined by time-dependent density functional theory-electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) ca...

The antifungal activities of amphotericin B/statin and nystatin/statin combinations against some opportunistic pathogenic fungi (Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Paecilomyces variotii, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus oryzae) were investigated. The in vitro interactions between polyene antifungal drugs and different statins were evaluated using a standard chequerboard b...

Background and Purpose: Purpureocillium lilacinum (previously known as Paecilomyces lilacinus) and Paecilomyces variotii cause hyalohyphomycosis. Case report: In this study, we present a case of multiple subcutaneous abscesses of the lower limbs due to Purpureocillium lilacinum in a patient with myasthenia gravis and uncontrolled diabetes. Subcutaneous involvement of the lower limbs with thi...

die-back disease caused by paecilomyces variotti is one of the most destructive diseases of pistachio in iran. in this study, genetic diversity of paecilomyces variotti isolates was investigated with ssr marker, using six primers pairs. sampling was done from pistachio gardens in different geographical zones of kerman province during summer 2013. various fungal isolates were isolated from infec...

Abstract Gray mold is a destructive disease caused by Botrytis cinerea , pervasive plant pathogen, which poses threat to both tomato growth and postharvest storage. The utilization of induced resistance presents potential strategy for combating pathogenic attacks. ZNC (zhinengcong), an extract derived from the endophytic fungus Paecilomyces variotii has been discovered play vital role in preven...
