Three new asexual arthroconidial yeasts, Geotrichum carabidarum sp. nov., Geotrichum histeridarum sp. nov., and Geotrichum cucujoidarum sp. nov., isolated from the gut of insects.
Twenty arthroconidial yeasts were isolated from the digestive tract of basidiome-feeding beetles and lepidopteran larvae. All of the yeasts reproduced only asexually by arthroconidia and some by endo- or blastoconidia as well. Based on the comparisons of sequences in ribosomal RNA genes and other taxonomic characteristics, the yeasts were identified as three unknown Geotrichum species. The thre...
متن کاملDisseminated Geotrichum infection.
Intensive chemotherapy has prolonged survival in cancer patients. Unfortunately it has also predisposed them to unusual infections because of their immunocompromised state. We report a case of fungal septicaemia caused by Geotrichum candidum, an imperfect yeast of low virulence in a young girl with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. It was successfully treated with amphotericin B. The morphological...
متن کاملDisseminated Geotrichum candidum infection.
The pathogenicity of the fungus Geotrichum candidum in humans has not been clearly defined. A patient with acute leukemia who developed a fatal disseminated G. candidum infection while neutropenic is described. At autopsy examination, this patient was misdiagnosed on the basis of histopathology as having disseminated candidiasis until G. candidum was isolated from postmortem culture specimens. ...
متن کاملDisseminated Geotrichum capitatum infection with predominant liver involvement in a patient with non Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Geotrichum capitatum is an emerging opportunistic pathogen which causes invasive disease in immunocompromized patients. We describe a patient with non Hodgkin's lymphoma and disseminated infection by G. capitatum with predominant liver involvement, which was proven by repeated positive blood cultures and a liver biopsy. Staining liver biopsy demonstrated the presence of hyphal elements consiste...
متن کاملThe Use of Acetonitrile as the Sole Nitrogen and Carbon Source by Geotrichum Sp. Jr1
A yeast strain identified as Geotrichum sp. JR1 was able to use acetonitrile as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. The strain grew in 0.5 to 2M acetonitrile. Ammonia generation as enzymatic product during the strain growth indicates the presence of an acetonitrile degrading enzyme. Acetic acid and acetamide were detected during assays with the resting cells cultivated in acetonitrile, indicat...
