Genetic diversity among clinical isolates of Acremonium strictum determined during an investigation of a fatal mycosis.
Primarily saprophytic in nature, fungi of the genus Acremonium are a well-documented cause of mycetoma and other focal diseases. More recently, a number of Acremonium spp. have been implicated in invasive infections in the setting of severe immunosuppression. During the course of routine microbiological studies involving a case of fatal mycosis in a nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell tran...
متن کاملMicrobial hydroxylation of progesterone with Acremonium strictum.
Microbial hydroxylation of progesterone occurred in the culture of Acremonium strictum PTCC 5282 to produce two hydroxylated pregnene-like steroids. The metabolites were purified and characterized using spectroscopic methods and identified as 15alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and 15alpha-hydroxydeoxycorticosterone.
متن کاملCrystal structure of glucooligosaccharide oxidase from Acremonium strictum
Introduction Sugar oxidases and dehydrogenases that catalyze carbohydrate oxidation into the corresponding lactones are of considerable commercial importance. Glucooligosaccharide oxidase (GOOX) from Acremonium strictum was screened with the aim of identifying enzymes with potential applications such as an oligosaccharide acid production and various alternative carbohydrate assays. Screening of...
متن کاملStructural characterization of glucooligosaccharide oxidase from Acremonium strictum.
Glucooligosaccharide oxidase from Acremonium strictum was screened for potential applications in oligosaccharide acid production and carbohydrate detection. This protein is a unique covalent flavoenzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of a variety of carbohydrates with high selectivity for cello- and maltooligosaccharides. Kinetic measurements suggested that this enzyme possesses an open carbohyd...
متن کاملFatal Disseminated Mycobacterium chelonae Infection in an Immunocompromised Host--A Unique Presentation.
Disseminated disease due to rapidly growing non tuberculous mycobacteria especially in the immunocompromised host is being increasingly reported. The usual manifestations of disease being skin and soft tissue infection, post operative wound infection and pulmonary disease. We present a case of a disseminated infection due to Mycobacterium chelonae with features of chronic meningitis and knee jo...
