Results We studied 143 children (92 M/51 F) aged 2.4 15.6 years. Negative results were found in 20 (14%) with Alternaria, 24 (16.8%) with Alt 1, and 19 with both (13.3%). There was a good correlation between the two determinations (r = 0.935, p <0.001). Overall the levels were higher for Alt a 1 (18.9 ± 24.4) than for Alternaria (15.4 ± 20.1). There were 97 cases (68%) with levels of Alt a 1 > ...

Received Sep 18, 2014 Revised Nov 12, 2014 Accepted Nov 25, 2014 The Deuteromycetes fungal genus Alternaria comprises of different saprophytic as well as endophytic species which are very common and worldwide in their occurrence. Important host plants include several important crops. Alternaria spp. generally attacks the aerial parts of its host and early blight diseases caused by these fungi i...

Among the biotic factors that limit plant growth, population size, and reproduction, there is a mass appearance of microscopic parasitic fungi. The aim study was to determine spectrum microfungi degree leaf surface infection in ragwort &lt;i&gt;Senecio umbrosus&lt;/i&gt;, i.e., one Polish red data book species. In 2014–2016, studies on diversity dynamics were carried out within its White Mt, so...

Asthma is thought to result from dysregulated Th2-like airway inflammatory responses to the environment. Although the etiology of asthma is not fully understood in humans, clinical and epidemiological evidence suggest a potential link between exposure to environmental fungi, such as Alternaria, and development and/or exacerbation of asthma. The goal of this project was to investigate the mechan...

During a survey in 2015, an impressive assemblage of organisms was found hypersaline pond the Messolonghi saltworks. The salinity ranged between 50 and 180 ppt, that were fell into categories Cyanobacteria (17 species), Chlorophytes (4 Diatoms (23 Dinoflagellates (1 Protozoa (40 Rotifers (8 Copepods Artemia sp., one nematode Alternaria sp. (Fungi). Fabrea salina most prominent protist among all...

Replant problem is very serious problem which suppresses growth and yield of apple and pear in all major fruit growing areas of the world. Fluorescent Pseudomonas has potential to synthesize different secondary metabolites with diverse PGPR activities which enhance soil fertility and promote plant growth. Under this study, twentysix Pseudomonas strains were isolated from the rhizosphere of appl...

The possible influence of anatomical sections wood on mold growth was investigated by means a laboratory experiment. selected fungi, Aspergillus sp., Penicillium and Alternaria sp. were inoculated spraying the surface specimens prepared from pine (Pinus sylvestris) spruce (Picea abies). incubation carried out under stable environmental conditions (temperature 22 °C, relative humidity 75, 87, 95...

Endophytic fungi found inside the plant tissue are endosymbionts, protecting their host from pests, pathogens, etc. Twenty eight endophytic fungi were isolated from different parts of Nerium oleander L., out of which, 54% of isolates were from flower, 39% from stem and 7% from leaf parts. Thirty six percent of the isolates showed antimicrobial activity against tested pathogens. The potential is...

The objective of the present study is to evaluate anti bacterial activity against Bacillus sp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus anti tumour activity against Hep 2 cell line with crude metabolites isolated from endophytic fungi residing in leaves of Azadirhacta indica. Endophytic fungi isolated from sterile leaflets of Azadirhacta indica and the isolated respective fungi were gro...
