Screening of Lovastatin Production by Filamentous Fungi
In the present study, 110 fungal strains of Persian Type Culture Collection (PTCC) including some selected strains isolated in various screening projects were tested for their potentiality to produce lovastatin, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reduc-tase), the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis. The fungal strains were cultivated in a t...
متن کاملContamination of peritoneal dialysis fluid by filamentous fungi.
Peritonitis is a frequent complication in peritoneal dialysis. It may be caused by contamination of the dialysis tubing or by extension of the catheter exit site. Gram-positive bacteria are the most common organism, accounting for 60% of all documented cases of continuous ambulatorial peritonitis dialysis. Fungi are isolated from to 1-15% of cases. Forty-nine out of 490 bottles containing fluid...
متن کاملFilamentous fungi producing ochratoxin a during cocoa processing in Cameroon.
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is the main mycotoxin occurring in cocoa. A study was conducted in Cameroon to assess how filamentous fungi and toxigenesis were affected by the type of cocoa post-harvest treatment (boxes or heaps). The filamentous fungi isolated were almost identical when fermentation was carried out in boxes or heaps, with the presence of abundant black Aspergillus filamentous fungi: A. ni...
متن کاملEcophysiology of Aspergillus Section Nigri Species Potential Ochratoxin A Producers
After aflatoxins, ochratoxin A (OTA) is the most studied mycotoxin due to the toxicological significance in human and animal diets. OTA presence has been extensively reported worldwide in the last decade in several agricultural products. The main OTA producer in tropical and temperate climates is Aspergillus carbonarius followed by species belonging to A. niger aggregate. Currently, many scient...
متن کاملAspergilli as ochratoxin producers.
To determine whether ochratoxin is produced by species of Aspergillus other than A. ochraceus, 44 strains representative of the nine species composing the A. ochraceus group were grown on both pearled wheat and cracked corn in duplicate shaken flasks at 28 C for 5 days. Rice was a poor substrate for production of ochratoxin. Molded substrates were extracted with acetonitrile-water; partially pu...
