A new butenolide, aspernolide D (1), and furandione, asperterone (2), together with four known butenolides, butyrolactones I-IV and aspernolide B, were obtained from cultures of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus, isolated from the flowering plant Mammea siamensis. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by analysis of NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data.

Background: Aspergillus peritonitis is a rare, potentially fatal complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Several cases fungal (FP) caused by species have been reported worldwide; however, there paucity data from Pakistan. Here, case congenital nephrotic syndrome in patient who progressed to Stage 5 chronic kidney disease when she was 8 years old, which managed CAPD and...

Fungal periprosthetic joint infections due to Aspergillus species are rare but are associated with significant cost and morbidity. We present a case of Asperigillus terreus prosthetic joint infection of the hip. The patient was successfully treated with a prolonged course of systemic antifungals along with surgical management.

Aspergillus terreus gave the overall best results in alpechin at approximately 80% concentration, degrading organic material by 53%, expressed as COD, and 67%, expressed as BOD. Degradation of the total phenol content, which included the great majority of phenolic compounds, reached 69%.
