Further study of the lipids from Pithomyces chartarum (Sporidesmium bakeri) and related fungi.
A study of the lipids of Pithomyce8 chartarum (Berk. & Curt.) M. B. Ellis (which has replaced the name Sporide8mium bakeri Syd. used previously) has shown that their fatty acid composition differs from that of other fungi hitherto examined in containing large quantities of both linoleic acid and palmitic acid (Hartman, Hawke, Morice & Shorland, 1960). The main object of the present work has bee...
متن کاملProduction of luteoskyrin, a hepatotoxic pigment, by Penicillium islandicum Sopp.
Various factors affecting the yields of luteoskyrin, a hepatotoxic mycotoxin, and related pigments in the liquid medium were studied. Maximal yields of luteoskyrin (0.13% by isolation) and of other pigments were attained in the late phase of the cultivation. The yield of the pigment was increased by supplying malt extract, malonic acid, glutamic acid, or asparagine. A useful material for prepar...
متن کاملInteraction of sporidesmin, a mycotoxin from Pithomyces chartarum, with lipid bilayers.
Sporidesmin, a mycotoxin from Pithomyces chartarum is a hydrophobic molecule. It can therefore be easily incorporated in the cell membrane, where it is likely to cause changes in the bilayer organization and the properties of membrane proteins. In order to understand the redox behaviour of sporidesmin in a hydrophobic environment, we have investigated the effects of oxidized and reduced sporide...
متن کاملIndoor mold, toxigenic fungi, and Stachybotrys chartarum: infectious disease perspective.
Damp buildings often have a moldy smell or obvious mold growth; some molds are human pathogens. This has caused concern regarding health effects of moldy indoor environments and has resulted in many studies of moisture- and mold-damaged buildings. Recently, there have been reports of severe illness as a result of indoor mold exposure, particularly due to Stachybotrys chartarum. While many autho...
متن کاملWeather and Plant Age Affect the Levels of Steroidal Saponin and Pithomyces chartarum Spores in Brachiaria Grass
Brachiaria species are cultivated worldwide in tropical and subtropical climates as the main forage source for ruminants. Numerous tropical and warm-season grasses cause hepatogenous photosensitization, among them several species of Brachiaria. Steroidal saponins present in these plants may be responsible for liver damage. However, sporidesmin and other hepatotoxic mycotoxins are likely to prod...
