background and objective: biodeterioration is an irreversible damage that is caused by colonization of microorganisms on the surface of different materials. among all microorganisms, fungi play an important role in deterioration of materials. fungi can colonize on stone surfaces and by secreting different enzymes, organic and inorganic acids and pigments, can cause bio-weathering and changing n...

soil is well known to support the transient or ongoing existence of kerathophilic fungi and potential sources of infection for humans and animals. fifty soil samples were collected from various areas of forests and farmyards at golestan province in the north part of iran to determine the prevalence of keratinophilic fungi and dominant species. a total of 357 fungal colonies including 13 genera ...

Substances that inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis could potentially be used as antibiotics. These substances could also be added to test culture media to improve the speed of tuberculosis diagnosis. The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of culture filtrates of endophytic fungi isolated from P. aduncum L. on the growth of M. tuberculosis. To achieve this objective,...

Antimicrobial Activity of Crude Extracts Endophytic Fungi Isolated from Medicinal Plant Trichilia elegans A. JussRhoden S.A.,Garcia A.,Bongiorno V. A.,Azevedo J.L., Pamphile,J.A.

Background and purpose: One of the most prominent concerns for the water consumers is pathogenic microorganism contamination. Wells and underground water resources are the main resources of drinking water in Sari city, Iran. The main objectives of the research project were to explore the distribution and frequency of mycoflora in wells and underground water resources of the city and their conta...

Biodiversity of phylloplane and endophytic fungi have been considered as one of the rich source of novel natural compounds of biological activities and a high level of structure diversity on the leaf surfaces. Bioactive components produced by phylloplane and endophytes have shown promising potentiality towards human health. In this juncture, it is necessary to understand and manipulate this imp...

Endophytic fungi are capable of producing plant associated metabolites and their analogs with therapeutic value. In order to identify the potential endophytic isolates producing bioactive compounds, one need to screen all isolated endophytes, which may run into hundreds. Isolation of endophytic fungi is relatively a simple process; but screening of the isolated fungi for required metabolite pro...
