In the present study, nine species of Aspergillus, viz., A. alliaceus, A. ochraceus, A. persii, A. leproris, A. parasiticus, A. fumigatiaffinis, A. sydowii, A. niger, A. tubingensis and Eurotium amstelodami were obtained and identified from soils of the National Park of Urmia Lake, based on cultural and morphological characteristics. All of the species are newly recorded from hypersaline soils ...

DNA barcoding is a tool for species identification. For plant species identification, two of plastid genes (rbcL and matK) were used as standard barcodes. There are limitations of each gene marker but matK is considered to be the closest plant analogue to the CO1 animal barcode. As a mega-biodiversity country, Indonesia has many plant species used for ornamental and/or medical purposes. This st...

conventional methods for fungal identification in the clinical laboratory rely on morphological andphysiological tests. these tests often need several days or weeks to complete and are frequentlyunspecific. molecular identification mostly implies sequencing, which is relatively expensive andtime-consuming, as well as impractical for large numbers of isolates. the rolling circleamplification app...

background: due to the predisposing conditions in patients with cystic fibrosis (cf) caused by defective mucociliary clearance facilitating colonization and invasion with candida species has dramatically increased. traditional methods for identifying problems are imminent and time-consuming. therefore, molecular techniques utilizing amplification of target dna provide quick and precise methods ...

Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, is endemically observed in different parts of Iran in two forms of anthroponotic and zoonotic. The identification of both species and the type of disease are beneficial for treatment and prevention. Microscopic identification of Leishmania species has not provided promising efficacy. The aim of this study was to determine the Le...
