Invasive aspergillosis is one the major causes of death in hematopoietic and solidtransplant recipients. One of the most critical problems in medical mycology is the inability to consistently make a convincing and early diagnosis of invasive fungal infection. Conventional diagnosis methods such as culture-based approaches are limited by the insufficient accessibility sensitivity and the non-cul...

the expression of endoglucanase gene and protein profile belonging to two fungal species, penicillium oxalicum 1sms and trichoderma viride 156ms with high cellulase enzyme activity, was investigated. fungal isolates were cultured on inducer cmc medium and then the amount of released sugar and protein were assayed every three days for a month, using arsenate molybdatereagent and bradford method,...

The kinetics of dextranase activity were studied using dextran-containing samples of mixed juice taken from mills in Puerto Rico and Jamaica. Mean values of the initial enzyme velocity (V) were 0,063 and 0,173 mg dextran hydrolysed/min/unit enzyme in Puerto Rico and Jamaica respectively. Mean substrate concentrations, expressed as dextran % w/v juice determined by the haze analysis technique, w...
