Background: Aflatoxins (AFs) are secondary hazardous fungal metabolites that are produced by strains of some Aspergillus species on food and feedstuffs. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most important AF with high toxicity. Prevention of AF production and their elimination from food products is a matter of importance for many researchers in the last decades.Nanomaterials applications in medica...

Padi lokal Aceh merupakan bagian dari kekayaan plasma nutfah di Indonesia, akan tetapi eksistensi padi mengalami penurunan yang disebabkan infeksi cendawan patogen Aspergilus flavus pada benih padi. Cendawan ini mengakibatkan daya kecambah sehingga kualitias menjadi rendah. Untuk menjaga platma padi,maka kualitas perlu ditingkatkan salah satunya yaitu dengan penggunaan biofungisida Ganoderma bo...

Direct fermentation of unhydrolyzed potato starch to ethanol by monocultures of an amylolytic fungus, Aspergilus niger, and cocultures ofA. niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. Amylolytic activity, rate and amount of starch utilization, and ethanol yields increased several-fold in coculture versus the monoculture due to the synergistic metabolic interactions between the species....

Background: Porto’s Hospital Centre is one of the most active Portuguese hospitals in renal transplantation (performed since 1983). Although increasingly rare, opportunistic infections in transplanted patients are associated with high mortality rate in kidney transplantation and remain a major diagnostic challenge. Methods: We investigated 2041 cases of hospital admissions (from 2004 to 2012), ...

Filamentous fungi are important due to their high enzymes production potential. Many enzymes produced by fungi have related to biotechnological applications in several industrial sectors. The purpose of this study was to isolate filamentous fungi from different sources and to screen for amylases production potential. Fifteen fungal isolates of three genera, Aspergilus, Penicillium and Trichoder...

Tripan mavisi (TB) yaygın olarak kullanılan tehlikeli ve kanserojen bir boyadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, ısıyla inaktive edilmiş Aspergilus niveus biyokütlesi kullanarak TB'yi gidermektir. TB boyasının biyosorpsiyonu pH, boyası konsantrasyonu, biyosorbent miktarı zamanın fonksiyonu incelenmiştir. Çalışmalarda Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson Harkins-Jura izoterm modelleri uygunluk açısında...
