A 69-year-old woman was referred by a local ophthalmologist for the management of presumed fungal keratitis in the left eye...

This study examined the distribution of culturable fungi and predominant genera in organic layer upper layers mineral soil six broad-leaved tree plantations autumn, after full fall leaves. In total, 1335 fungal isolates were recovered from an two (0–4 cm 5–8 cm) soil. The structure differed three studied layers. was most populated by compared to layer, Penicillium phyllosphere such as Cladospor...

Subcutaneous involvement of the lower limbs with thi...

Compactin (ML-236B) and monacolin K (mevinolin) are specific inhibitors of 3-hydroxy3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthetic pathway1~7). ML-236B was isolated from Penicillium citrinuml) and Penicillium brevicompactum2), and monacolin K from Monascus ruber4) and Aspergillus terreus6). In the present study, approximately 4,000 newly is...
