The cell wall of a zygomycetes fungus was successfully wet spun into monofilament yarns and demonstrated as novel resource for production sustainable textiles. Furthermore, the could be cultivated on bread waste, an abundant food waste with large negative environmental impact if not further utilized. Rhizopus delemar first in bubble column bioreactor. fungal collected through alkali treatment b...

AIM Zygomycosis is a severe angioinvasive infection caused by Zygomycetes. We retrospectively investigated 16 cases of zygomycosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data of patients, who had been followed between 2004 and 2010 in 8 tertiary-care teaching hospitals, were reviewed. Demographic characteristics, underlying diseases, and clinical signs and symptoms of the patients, as well as diagnostic ...

To generate data for comparative analyses of zygomycete mitochondrial gene expression, we sequenced mtDNAs of three distantly related zygomycetes, Rhizopus oryzae, Mortierella verticillata and Smittium culisetae. They all contain the standard fungal mitochondrial gene set, plus rnpB, the gene encoding the RNA subunit of the mitochondrial RNase P (mtP-RNA) and rps3, encoding ribosomal protein S3...
