Spore Killer Polymorphism in FUSARIUM MONILIFORME.

A simple technique for single spore isolation of Fusarium verticilloides

Fusarium verticillioides (syn. F. moniliforme) and F. subglutinans belonging to the Liseola section of Fusarium (Nelson et al., 1983), are well known pathogens of corn, causing stalk and ear rot world-wide (Nelson et al., 1981; Leslie et al., 1990; Logrieco et al., 1993; Bottalico, 1998). These pathogens have the ability to produce and accumulate mycotoxins in infected tissues that may have dan...

Disseminated infection by Fusarium moniliforme during treatment for malignant lymphoma.

Disseminated infection caused by Fusarium moniliforme is described in a 32-year-old granulocytopenic man with malignant lymphoma being treated with cytotoxic drugs and corticosteroids. Infected skin denuded by antecedent severe varicella-zoster infection was the probable source of fungemia. F. moniliforme grows rapidly on common mycological media as a lavender- to violet-colored mold at 25 to 3...

Production of fumonisins by Fusarium moniliforme strains from various substrates and geographic areas.

Strains of Fusarium moniliforme from different geographic areas and from corn and other substrates were tested for the ability to produce fumonisins in culture. The test results indicate that the potential exists for production of fumonisins by such strains in agricultural commodities and other substrates in widespread geographic areas.

Antifungal properties of leaf extract of Catharanthus roseus l (g.) Don

Catharanthus roseus is well known for its pharmacological significance. The present study aims to determine the antifungal activity of Catharanthus roseus against various clinically significant fungal strains (Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium moniliforme). Assessment of antifungal activity of Catharanthus roseus was done by paper disc diffusion method. In thi...
