Ventriculitis due to infection with Rhizopus arrhizus
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 52-year-old heart-lung transplant patient presented to the emergency department with acute onset of neurologic symptoms. MRI showed ballooning of the left ventricle, midline shift and contrast enhancement in the anterior horn of the left ventricle. Ventricle neuroendoscopy revealed whitish, floccose aerial structures within the left ventricle. Brain biopsy cultures grew Rhizopus arrhizus. Therapy with liposomale amphotericin B and posaconazole was performed. Except for hemianopsia and deficits in minute motor activity, the patient completely recovered.

The nonylphenol (NP) biosorption and desorption potential for fungal biomass used under batch conditions was investigated using kinetics and isotherm models. Fungal biomass of Rhizopus arrhizus TISTR 3610 exhibited preferential uptake of NP, an endocrine disrupting chemicals. Sporangiospores, asexual spores, were immobilised in chitosan beads. The biosorption data of NP on the moist heat inacti...

A cadmium tolerant strain of Aspergillus niger and a lead tolerant strain of Rhizopus arrhizus were studied for distribution of accumulated toxic heavy metals in the mycelia in comparison to wild type strains. Accumulated cadmium in the cell wall fractions of cadmium tolerant Aspergillus niger was more than the wild type strain. Cytosolic fraction contained the next highest load of metal. Simil...
