Fungi of Delhi. XII. Chaetomium lawransamesii sp. n.

Keratitis due to Chaetomium sp.

Aim. To describe keratitis due to Chaetomium sp. occurring in a 65-year-old woman who presented with a corneal ulcer with hypopyon of the right eye with a history of trauma by vegetable matter. Method. Multiple scrapings were obtained from the ulcer. A lactophenol cotton blue wet mount and a Gram-stained smear of the scrapings were made. Scrapings were also inoculated onto various culture media...

Diversity and taxonomy of Chaetomium and chaetomium-like fungi from indoor environments

During a study of indoor fungi, 145 isolates belonging to Chaetomiaceae were cultured from air, swab and dust samples from 19 countries. Based on the phylogenetic analyses of DNA-directed RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), β-tubulin (tub2), ITS and 28S large subunit (LSU) nrDNA sequences, together with morphological comparisons with related genera and species, 30 indoor taxa are r...

Revision of the family Carabodidae (Acari, Oribatida) XII. Yoshiobodes camerunensis sp. n. and Rugocepheus costaricensis sp. n.

Yoshiobodes camerunensissp. n., collected in Cameroon, is the first species of this genus reported from the Afrotropical region. Diagnostic characters include lamellae terminating in a bridge and not in lamellar tips; cup-shaped bothridia, bothridial ring present; rostral setae cochleariform, smooth; lamellar setae slightly lanceolate, barbate; fifteen pairs of notogastral setae; c3 lanceolate,...

Adaptation of marine derived fungi , Chaetomium globosum ( NIOCC 36 ) , under alkaline stress using antioxidant properties

The fungi are an exceptionally useful model in elucidating the cell functions under extreme conditions (temperature, salinity, pH values) and mechanisms underlying adaptation to those extreme environmental conditions. Here, Chaetomium globosum was examined for its adaptation mechanism under alkaline stress using antioxidant properties. The aqueous extracts of C. globosum exhibited different lev...
