Hydrogen peroxide has been used as a sanitation agent for many years. Recently, hydrogen products have to remove algae from irrigation lines and sanitize hydroponic systems between uses. However, can phytotoxic effects on plants at high concentrations. The goal of this research was determine if treatments affected plant growth in the ebb flow systems. conducted Department Horticulture Landscape...

Activators of tissue proteolysis including Stachybotrys microspora triprenyl phenol (SMTP)-7 are a new class of agents that are expected to be effective for amelioration of chronic tissue destructive diseases. The present study was performed to examine whether SMTP-7 is effective for the amelioration or protection of early-stage IgA nephropathy (IgAN) induced by nivalenol (NIV) in female BALB/c...

A sandstone outcrop exposed to freshwater seepage supports a diverse assemblage of photosynthetic microbes. Dominant taxa are two cyanophytes (Oscillatoria sp., Rivularia sp.) and a unicellular green alga (Palmellococcus sp.). Less abundant taxa include a filamentous green alga, Microspora, and the desmid Cosmarium. Biologic activity is evidenced by measured levels of chlorophyll and lipids. Bi...

Myositis is a common clinical syndrome in advanced stages of AIDS. Trachipleistophora hominis (phylum Microspora) has been detected in several cases of painful, immobilising myositis in AIDS patients. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and Western blotting of protein profiles separated by SDS PAGE were used to determine whether this species could be detected and differentiated by serol...

Seven yeast strains were isolated from the body surface and galleries of Xyloterinus politus, the ambrosia beetle that attacks black oak trees. Based on rDNA sequence comparisons and other taxonomic characteristics, five of the strains were identified as members of the species Saccharomycopsis microspora, Wickerhamomyces hampshirensis and Candida mycetangii, which have been reported previously ...

UNLABELLED The fungus Stachybotrys chartarum is the type species of the genus Stachybotrys. It is a cellulolytic saprophyte with a worldwide distribution and is frequently recovered in water-damaged buildings. Three isolates of S. chartarum were studied morphologically from single-spore isolations. Significant differences were found with the sizes, lengths, width, and L/W ratio of conidia and p...
