Occurrence of filamentous fungi in drinking water: their role on fungal-bacterial biofilm formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Water is indispensable to life and safe accessible supply must be available all. The presence of microorganisms a threat this commitment. Biofilms are the main reservoir inside water distribution systems they extremely ecologically diverse. Filamentous fungi bacteria can coexist these forming inter-kingdom biofilms. This review has goal summarizing most relevant recent reports on occurrence filamentous in along with current knowledge gaps about fungal biofilm formation. Special focus given fungal-bacterial interactions

Filamentous Fungi in Drinking Water, Particularly in Relation to Biofilm Formation
The presence of filamentous fungi in drinking water has become an area worthy of investigation with various studies now being published. The problems associated with fungi include blockage of water pipes, organoleptic deterioration, pathogenic fungi and mycotoxins. Fungal biofilm formation is a less developed field of study. This paper updates the topic and introduces novel methods on fungal bi...
متن کاملFungi Occurrence Assessment in Drinking Water Distribution Systems and Its Relationship with Fecal Indicator Bacteria
Introduction: As recommended by World Health Organization, consumption of the fungal contaminated water does not cause to serious infection, but may lead to healthy or aesthetic problems. The aim of this research was to assess the occurrence of fungi in water and its relationship with fecal indicator bacteria. Materials and Methods: 110 water samples were collected from different location of w...
متن کاملA Keystone Methylobacterium Strain in Biofilm Formation in Drinking Water
The structure of biofilms in drinking water systems is influenced by the interplay between biological and physical processes. Bacterial aggregates in bulk fluid are important in seeding biofilm formation on surfaces. In simple pure and co-cultures, certain bacteria, including Methylobacterium, are implicated in the formation of aggregates. However, it is unclear whether they help to form aggreg...

متن کاملNondermatophytic filamentous keratinophilic fungi and their role in human infection
Keratinophilic fungi include a variety of filamentous fungi mainly comprising hyphomycetes and several other taxonomic groups. Hyphomycetes include dermatophytes and a great variety of nondermatophytic filamentous fungi. Most of the latter occur as saprophytes in soil, and some are plant pathogens. Chrysosporium species are the commonest nondermatophytic filamentous fungi and are predominantly ...
