The majority of diseases caused by air pollution, such as asthma and allergies, are caused by pathogenic bacteria, which are transmitted through bioaerosols. Bacteria and fungi are the main sources of hospital infections causing the majority of diseases and cases of mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the ratio of indoor to outdoor fungi concentration, the effect of population den...

the isolated fungi species of different kinds from chromium contaminated soil sites located in nagalkeni, chennai were used for reducing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater of nagalkeni, chennai.  the experiments were conducted to know biosorption potential of isolated fungi species for removing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater against the different ph, fungi biomass and ...

in this study , samples of oily nuts using for human consumption ( pistachio- peanuts- walnut …..) were randomly obtained from markets in three geografical regions (south, east and west) of tehran. they were immidiatedly sent to mycology lab. then they were prepared for detection of fungi on sabour glucose , rose bangal and chapex agars. analysis of fungi were done by slide-culture, detection o...

Fungal acquisition of resources is difficult to assess in the field. To determine whether fungi received carbon from recent plant photosynthate, litter or soil-derived organic (C:N bonded) nitrogen, we examined differences in δ13C among bulk tissue, structural carbon, and protein extracts of sporocarps of three fungal types: saprotrophic fungi, fungi with hydrophobic ectomycorrhizae, or fungi w...

Fungi are major players in the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems due to the wide range of interactions they have with plants either through soil degradation processes by litter decayers or biotrophic interactions with pathogenic and ectomycorrhizal symbionts. Secretion of fungal proteins mediates these interactions by allowing the fungus to interact with its environment and/or host. Ectomycorrh...

the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on nitrogen concentration of berseem clover were examined in contaminated soil with cadmium. examined factors included: levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation ( glomus mosseae ) (with and without inoculation), and different levels of soil contamination by cadmium (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg.kg-1). the results showed that the effects of cad...
