UV radiation is effective on all microbial forms in water but lethal doses for every particular taxonomic group may be considerably different. Three species of Penicillium, Aspergillus and Cladosporium genera, 2 species of Alternaria and Fusarium and 1 species of Rhizopus and Paecilomyces genera were tested. Model waters were inoculated with spores of the mentioned monocultures. Three heterocul...

Meloidogyne incognita-infected tomato seedlings were transplanted into sterilized soil or unsterilized soil collected from 20 California tomato fields to measure suppression caused by Paecilomyces lilacinus, Verticillium chlamydosporium, and other naturally occurring antagonists. Unsterilized soils Q, A, and H contained 35, 39, and 55% fewer M. incognita second-stage juveniles (J2) than did ste...

Paecilomyces variotii is a common cosmopolitan species that is able to spoil various food- and feedstuffs and is frequently encountered in heat-treated products. However, isolates from heat-treated products rarely form ascospores. In this study we examined by using molecular techniques and mating tests whether this species can undergo a sexual cycle and form ascospores. The population structure...

A new indolinepeptide (3) was isolated, together with two known compounds, a cerebroside (1) and an alloxazine (2), from silkworm larvae infected with Paecilomyces sp. J300. On the basis of spectroscopic data, their structures were elucidated as (4E, 8E, 2S, 2'R, 3R)-N-2'-hydroxyhexadecanoyl-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-9-methyl-4, 8-sphingadienine (1), 7,8-dimethylalloxazine (2) and 3beta,5-dihyd...

A filamentous fungus that caused a fatal systemic infection in a dog has been identified as the new species Sagenomella chlamydospora. When the case was initially reported, the fungus was identified as Paecilomyces sp. This study emphasizes how difficult can be the identification of the causative agent of an infection when an uncommon microorganism is involved. This is the first time that this ...

Pulp and paper mill effluent is posing a serious threat to the water and soil components of the environment due to its brown colour and high level of toxicity. Fungal treatment is one of the efficient methods for treating pulp and paper mill effluent. In the present study, for the treatment of from pulp and paper industry, nine efficient fungal strains including Phanerochaete chrysosporium, ded...

A resistant and capable fungal strain in removing hexavalent chromium was isolated from an environment near of Chemical Science Faculty, located in the city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The strain was identified as Paecilomyces sp., by macro- and microscopic characteristics. Strain resistance of the strain to high Cr (VI) concentrations and its ability to reduce chromium were studied. When it wa...
