Glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 3 β-N-acetylglucosaminidases widely exist in the filamentous fungi, which may play a key role in chitin metabolism of fungi. A multi-domain GH family 3 β-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Rhizomucor miehei (RmNag), exhibiting a potential N-acetyltransferase region, has been recently reported to show great potential in industrial applications. In this study, the crysta...

An aquatic hyphomycete, Dwayaangam sp., was isolated from superficially sterilized black spruce (Picea mariana) needles submerged in aerated water in a small glass chamber (microcosm). The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence of this fungus and of a commonly encountered foliar endophyte isolated from P. mariana showed a high degree of similarity. When sporulation was induced in the microc...

This paper describes a new development of the GNAT Ada95 compilation system (GNORT) that is appropriate for the development of high integrity embedded systems. We describe GNORT, the motivation for its development, and give some technical detail of its implementation. The latter part of the paper goes on to describe SHOLIS—an existing safety-critical application written in SPARK 83 that has bee...

Over the years we have often felt frustration, both at smug Bayesians—in particular, those who object to checking of the fit of model to data, either because all Bayesian models are held to be subjective and thus unquestioned (an odd combination indeed, but that is the subject of another article)—and angry anti-Bayesians who, as we wrote in our article, strain on the gnat of the prior distribut...

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to morphologically characterize the isolates of Ceratocystis fimbriata from yerba mate and evaluate effect culture medium temperature on mycelial growth sporulation C. fimbriata. For morphological characterization 11 monosporic fungus, slides were prepared determine dimensions sexual asexual structures fungus. Four experiments conducted in different mediums temperatur...

Recently, an emergency health problem erupted that worried the world, which is black fungus infection associated with Covid-19, especially in India and some regions of Middle East. The members genus Rhizopus or Mucor resulted common mucormycosis. Humans become infected by inhaling depositing spores fungi tissues body. Rhinocerebral site most susceptible to . Several factors may have contributed...

The black fungus gnats Bradysia similigibbosa sp. n. and B. irwini sp. n. are described and new records of species of Bradysia Winnertz, Ctenosciara Tuomikoski, Epidapus Haliday, Pseudolycoriella Menzel & Mohrig, and Scatopsciara Edwards are presented for New Caledonia. A checklist of the sciarids of New Caledonia is given.

The fungal genus Knufia mostly comprises extremotolerant species from environmental sources, especially rock surfaces. The draft genome sequence of the rock fungus Knufia petricola presented here is the first whole-genome sequence of the only species among black fungi known to have a nonmelanized spontaneous mutant.

Secondary metabolites are major constituents of plant defense against herbivore attack. Relatively little is known about the cell type-specific formation and antiherbivore activities of secondary compounds in roots despite the substantial impact of root herbivory on plant performance and fitness. Here, we describe the constitutive formation of semivolatile diterpenes called rhizathalenes by the...
