Transformation of steroids by spores of microorganisms. I. Hydroxylation of progesterone by conidia of Aspergillus ochraceus.
Conidia of Aspergillus ochraceus convert progesterone into 11alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and 6beta, 11alpha-dihydroxyprogesterone. The conversion ability does not depend on the sporulation medium. Transformation depends on the strain and on the conidia concentration. Adaptation has never been observed. Age and storage of conidia, pH, aeration-agitation, nitrogen source, metal ions, chelating agen...
متن کاملDispersal of fungal spores by gravity currents
Spore is an asexual reproduction unit of fungi, also often found in plant kingdom. The physics behind spore dispersal of the Basidiomycete fungi or more known as mushroom will be the main focus of our study in this paper. We hypothesize that the spore dispersal is driven by the gravity current under the mushroom cap due to the density difference between the spore air laden and ambient air. Here...
متن کاملFungal community analysis by large-scale sequencing of environmental samples.
Fungi are an important and diverse component of soil communities, but these communities have proven difficult to study in conventional biotic surveys. We evaluated soil fungal diversity at two sites in a temperate forest using direct isolation of small-subunit and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rRNA genes by PCR and high-throughput sequencing of cloned fragments. We identified 412 sequence t...
متن کاملFungal spores: hazardous to health?
Fungi have long been known to affect human well being in various ways, including disease of essential crop plants, decay of stored foods with possible concomitant production of mycotoxins, superficial and systemic infection of human tissues, and disease associated with immune stimulation such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis and toxic pneumonitis. The spores of a large number of important fungi ...
متن کاملCharacterizing Aeroallergens by Infrared Spectroscopy of Fungal Spores and Pollen
BACKGROUND Fungal spores and plant pollen cause respiratory diseases in susceptible individuals, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Aeroallergen monitoring networks are an important part of treatment strategies, but unfortunately traditional analysis is time consuming and expensive. We have explored the use of infrared spectroscopy of pollen and spores for an in...
