Thioesterases play an essential role in the metabolism of fatty acids since they are considered one key enzymes to change total amount and composition acid organism’s cells. Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 8 (ACOT8) exhibits substrate specificity mainly for short- long-chain acyl-CoA. To identify characterize ACOT8 enzyme’s superfamily Mucor circinelloides, three genes were characterized homologou...

This review describes the advances acquired and proven in use of helminthophagous fungi control gastrointestinal helminth parasites domestic animals. Old well-known premises about parasitic epidemiology factors that can interfere with best performance biological are mentioned. Some most promising Duddingtonia flagrans from predatory group Pochonia chamydosporia Mucor circinelloides ovicidal gro...

We examined the characteristics of family 45 endoglucanases (glycoside hydrolases family 45; GH45) from Mucorales belonging to Zygomycota in the use of textiles and laundry. The defibrillation activities on lyocell fabric of family 45 endoglucanases from Mucorales, such as RCE1 and RCE2 from Rhizopus oryzae, MCE1 and MCE2 from Mucor circinelloides, and PCE1 from Phycomyces nitens, were much hig...

The animal immune response to chitin is not well understood and needs to be investigated further. However, this is a challenging topic to study because of the technical difficulties in purifying chitin, and because this material usually comes associated with contaminating components that can activate the immune system. In this study, improvements to previously described purification protocols w...

The order Mucorales comprises predominantly fast-growing saprotrophic fungi, some of which are used for the fermentation of foodstuffs but it also includes species known to cause infections in patients with severe immune or metabolic impairments. To inventory biodiversity in Mucorales ITS barcodes of 668 strains in 203 taxa were generated covering more than two thirds of the recognised species....

Seventy-three fungal species belonging to forty-three genera were isolated from 40 samples of Saccharrum officinarum (collected from Naage-Hamadi canal in Qena Governorate, Egypt). Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Mucor and Pythium were the most common genera on the two isolation media. The dominant species of Aspergillus were A. niger, A. flavus, A. ustus, A. terreus and A. wentii. Some species were ...
