this study was conducted to compare digestibility of wheat straw (ws) by fungi and whole rumen microorganisms (wrm). dry matter (dm), neutral and acid detergent fiber (ndf and adf) digestibility of ws were compared with in vitro digestion (ivd), gas production (gp) and specific rumen anaerobic fungi culture (srafc). dry matter, ndf and adf digestibility of ws by wrm of buffalo (60.80, 49.93 and...

the present study is based on the investigation of a soil hyphomyces, paecilomyces lilacinus, an opportunistic bio-control agent, in controlling root-knot nematode meloidogyne javanica on tomato in greenhouse conditions. p. lilacinus, effectively promoted the growth of plants inoculated with m. javanica by suppressing its pathogenesis as root galling by the nematode and egg mass production was ...

asthma is a complicated disorder, whose prevalence has increased over the past few decades.asthma is characterized by infiltration of inflammatory leukocytes along with enhancedproinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. fungi are now far more widely being considered as thedominant extrinsic trigger for asthma. fungi are linked to the severity of asthma in many ways. somedifferences between studi...

conclusions: the overall results of the analysed samples showed that the rate of fungal contamination in pure samples was higher than roasted with salt ones (p < 0.005). results of the current survey could be useful for minimizing fungal contamination and can educate people about the dangers of mold in nuts. background: nuts are one of the main consumed snacks worldwide and a significant compon...

fungi are found in different environments with variable distribution patterns depending on various factors. the aim of this study was determination of fungal contaminants in public swimming pools in uromia, iran. the fungal contaminations of four indoor swimming pools were studied by using membrane filtration and swab sampling method. samples were collected by a manual plastic pump, in a 200 ml...

conclusions the findings of this study indicated that these isolates were plant pathogenic fungi, which entered seawater from the environment, and were likely to have a suitable lipase activity on plant oils. results four fungal species were isolated from water samples of the caspian sea (north of iran) between february and june 2011. the nucleotide sequences reported for three of these isolate...

conclusions the soil represents the main reservoir of keratinophilic fungi including dermatophytes and non-dermatophytes. therefore, soil can be a source of infection for humans and animals. from the results presented in this study, an association exists between keratinophilic fungi and the soil of parks in municipality districts of tehran. objectives in this study we took samples from the soil...
