conclusions it was shown that partial β-tubulin sequence, as a reliable genetic target, supported specific morphological criteria for identification of the penicillium species. like other assessments throughout the world, p. chrysogenum remains the most frequent environmental penicillium species in mazandaran and tehran provinces. results sequence analysis of bt2 and morphological criteria of 2...

in this study techniques for laboratory identification of dermatophyte fungi through protoplast hybridization were established. firstly, auxotrophic mutants of different species of microsporum and trichophyton were induced and identified. secondly, protoplasts from these mutants were isolated by digestion of their mycelium with novozyme 234 using caci, (o.4m) as an osmotic stabilizer and glycin...

objective(s) rapidly growing mycobacteria (rgm) are capable of producing diseases in humans. since mycobacteria vary in their susceptibility, precise identification is critical for adoption of correct drug therapy. the main aim of this study was molecular identification and evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of iranian clinically isolated myocbacterium fortuitum. materials and m...

Veritable identification and differentiation of avian species is a vital step in conservative, taxonomic, forensic, legal and other ornithological interventions. Therefore, this study involved the application of molecular approach to identify some avian species i.e. Chicken (Gallus gallus), Muskovy duck (Cairina moschata), Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), Laughing dove (Streptopelia senegale...

Phytoplankton cells and resting cysts of the species Scrippsiella trochoidea are regular and dominant components of the dinoflagellate flora of coastal marine waters and sediments around the world. This species is a common harmful bloom forming species in coastal waters. In this study, for the first time cyst of S. trochoidea were isolated from the sediments of southeast coast of Iran...

there are two species of ghost shrimps namely, neocallichirus jousseaumei, n. calmani of which the latter is the first record for the persian gulf (littoral and subtidal zones). while, n. jousseaumei is first record for littoral zones along coastal waters of the persian gulf. the material of present study was collected from ouli village along the coast of bushehr province. here, notes on habita...

the genus conophorus meigen, 1803 (diptera: bombyliidae: conophorini) was studied in the north and northwestern parts of iran. three species of the genus conophorus were identified; two of them are recorded for the first time from iran, namely: c. pseudaduncus paramonov, 1929 and c. rjabovi paramonov, 1929, in addition to c. glaucescens (loew, 1863), which was previously recorded in iran. morph...

conclusions the results of our study showed that non-albicans species of candida are more frequent than c. albicans in patients with vvc. this result is in line with some recent studies indicating that non-albicans species of candida must be considered in gynecology clinics due to the reported azole resistance in these species. results out of 234 patients with vulvovaginitis, 66 (28.2%) patient...

aphid parasitoids (braconidae: aphidiinae) in several localities of kerman province, southeastern iran were studied between 2007 and 2008 and 20 species belonging to eight genera were identified. parasitoids were reared from 25 field-collected aphid species occurring on 31 host plant species. in the present study, 83 parasitoid-aphid-plant associations, their aphid hosts, and the respective hos...
