The effect of inoculation of Aspergillus flavus , Fusarium verticillioides , and Penicillium sp. in Dystrophic Red Latosol (DRL) and Eutroferric Red Latosol (ERL) soils with or without glucose on the total carbohydrate content and the dehydrogenase and amylase activities was studied. The fungal growth and spore production in culture medium with and without glucose were also evaluated. A complet...

A case of an HIV infected patient complicated with Penicillium marneffei and Rhodococcus equi infection is reported. He presented with chronic ulcer as pyoderma gangrenosum-like on his right calf and submandibular lymphadenitis as scrofuloderma-like. Penicillium marneffei and Rhodococcus equi were isolated from the ulcer and lymph node respectively.

During the course of mold surveys, a set of Talaromyces isolates were obtained that did not fit any described species. Phenotypic examination of these isolates showed that they were similar to T. piceus but differed in some growth characteristics. Multilocus DNA sequence data were obtained for the new isolates and some related species in the broader, more inclusive clade, and the data were anal...

In the course of our continuous search for bioactive metabolites from endophytic fungi living in plants from the Brazilian flora, leaves of Alibertia macrophylla (Rubiaceae) were submitted to isolation of endophytes, and two species of Penicillium were isolated. The acetonitrile fraction obtained in corn from a culture of Penicillium sp. 1 afforded orcinol (1). On the other hand, Penicillium sp...

Blue mold is the vernacular name of a common postharvest disease of stored apples, pears, and quince that is caused by several common species of Penicillium This study reports the draft genome sequence of Penicillium expansum strain R21, which was isolated from a red delicious apple in 2011 in Pennsylvania.

Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium citrinum and Rhizopus stolonifer isolated from Taif soil, Saudi Arabia could survive in a liquid medium containing up to 500 !lglml Zn. Aspergillus oryzae and Penicillium citrinum were more tolerant to zinc toxicity than Rhizopus stolonifer. The resistance and accumulation of zinc in the tested fungi were discussed according to tolerance index and zinc uptake in ...

Bracken, Pocker & Raistrick (1954) described the isolation of two nitrogen-containing products from different cultures of Penicillium cyclopium Westling. One of these, previously isolated from Penicillium viridicatum Westling by Cunningham & Freeman (1953) and named viridicatin, C15H11NO2, was shown to be 2,3-dihydroxy-4phenylquinoline or its keto-tautomer (I), by degradative methods and unequi...
