The antimicrobial activity of some novel ascorbic acid-metal complexes [bisascorbate complexes of copper (II), zinc(II), manganese (11), iron (111), cobalt(II), lead(II) and cadmium(II)] was investigated. Four standard strains of bacterial species - Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumonia and four fungal species - Trichophyton sp. Penicillium sp....

BACKGROUND Onychomycosis are caused by dermatophytes and Candida, but rarely by non- dermatophyte molds. These opportunistic agents are filamentous fungi found as soil and plant pathogens. OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency of opportunistic molds in onychomycosis. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 4,220 cases with onychomycosis, diagnosed in a 39-month period at the Institute of Dermat...

Normal fungal conjunctiva microbiota of horses remains stable in healthy animals, free from ocular and/or systemic diseases which may, eventually, cause ocular alterations. The knowledge of the fungal microbiota is of great importance due to the reduced number of studies reported in the literature and also to the large occurrence of ocular alterations, mainly keratomycosis, in these animals. Th...

The genus Penicillium comprises species that mostly colonize plant matter. However early reports suggest that several species are capable of parasitizing Aspergillus and sporulating on the conidial heads of the host. More recently Eupenicillium ochrosalmoneum and E. cinnamopurpureum, both with Penicillium anamorphs, have been observed sporulating on the heads of Aspergillus species belonging to...

Working over an algebraically closed field k, we prove that all orbits of a left action algebraic group superscheme G on X finite type are locally closed. Moreover, such orbit Gx, where x is k-point X, if and only Gevx in Xev, or equivalently, Gresx Xres. Here Gev the largest purely even super-subscheme Gres regarded as scheme. Similarly, Xev Xres We also sdim(Gx)=sdim(G)−sdim(Gx), Gx stabilize...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Petroleum pollution is a global disaster and there are several soil cleaning methods including bioremediation. METHODS In a field study, fugal strains were isolated from oil-contaminated sites of Arak refinery (Iran) and their growth ability was checked in potato dextrose agar (PDA) media containing 0-10% v/v crude oil, the activity of three enzymes (Catalase, Peroxid...

The performance of the Etest for itraconazole susceptibility testing of 50 isolates of filamentous fungi was assessed in comparison with the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) proposed standard microdilution broth method. The NCCLS method employed RPMI 1640 broth medium, and MICs were read after incubation for 48 h at 35 degrees C. Etest MICs were determined with RPMI ...

the effects of chemical and physical treatments on the storage life of bitter lemons in jiroft, kerman province, were investigated. after harvesting, the lemons were treated by curing, fungicide, waxed paper, shrink wrap or using a combination of these treatments. the samples were stored in standard citrus fruit boxes for three months at 85-90% relative humidity at a temperature of 3°c. once a ...
