Medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum has been used in East Asia for centuries in order to prevent and treat a variety of diseases such as hepatitis, immunological disorders and cancers. In fact, this fungus contains a vast source of polysaccharides, proteins and secondary metabolites with anti-tumor and immuno-modulatory properties. Up to now, a variety of drug metabolites extracted from G. luc...

due to the complex assessment of young walnut cultivars (juglansregia l.) based on morphological traits, advance molecular tools have provided a new prospect for cultivar identification and dna fingerprinting. in this study, specific molecular keys were identified for 5 iranian walnut cultivars (juglansregia l.) using 30 ssr markers. the results showed that 5 ssr markers produced polymorphic ba...

background: lipophilic yeasts of the genus malassezia has been placed among the basidiomycota phylum in the family of cryptococcaceae. the genus malassezia comprises yeasts with a natural habitat of the skin of many warm-blooded vertebrates, and human, but they are also associated with several skin diseases such as tinea versicolor, seborrehoeic dermatitis and even systemic infections. the genu...

background: acne vulgaris is an inflammatory chronic disease of pilosebaceous unit. one of the most important factors playing a role in occurrence of acne is presence of propionibacterium acnes. with the aim of molecular identification of the p. acnes from the acne vulgaris lesions, current research was carried out. methods: in this study, contents within the lesions was collected from 70 patie...

Background and Purpose :Candidiasis is a widespread fungal infection caused by different Candida species. Rapid identification of Candida species in clinical laboratory is becoming increasingly important since the identification and discrimination of ethological agents for early treatment. We aimed at molecular identification of commonly Candida species isolated from clinical samples by using b...

Background and objectives: The incidence of candiduria caused by Candida spp. has increased in recent years, particularly in hospitalized patients. Candiduria is most commonly caused by Candida albicans; however, an increase in the prevalence of non-albicans species has been observed during last decades. This study aimed at molecular identification of Candida species isolated from candiduria in...

background: classical bacteriological detection of brucella species from food, and environment is routinely carried out based on morphological and biochemical characteristics. however, for increasing specificity and sensitivity of species identification methods, development of a molecular assay is necessary that was main aim of this study. methods: panel of some reference strains belonging to t...
