abstract temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting on physiological characteristics of fungi. in order to wide host range of macrophomina phaseolina (tassi) goildanich, verticillium dahliae kleb. and sclerotinia sclerotiorum (lib.) de bary, become aware from growth rate and productivity of resistant and survival form of these phyto-pathogens in different temperatu...

The antifungal susceptibility profiles of the mycelial and yeast forms of 23 Histoplasma capsulatum strains from pulmonary and disseminated histoplasmosis patients in India are reported here. The MIC data of this dimorphic fungus had good agreement between both forms for azoles, amphotericin B, and caspofungin. Therefore, the use of mycelial inocula for H. capsulatum antifungal susceptibility t...

Article History: Received 14, June, 2015 Received in revised form 23, June, 2015 Accepted 13, July, 2015 Published online 28, July, 2015 Aqueous extract of leaves of Azadirachtaindica, Emblicaofficinalis, Pongamiaglabra and Acacia nilotca were tested in-vitroat 0.2% and 0.5% concentration using poisoned food technique for antimicrobial activity against mycelial growth of Magnaportheoryzaecausin...

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus that causes paracoccidioidomycosis. The yeast form of this pathogen is found in the animal host whereas the mycelial form is recovered from living and non-living organic material. The sole carbon source available in these habitats is represented by polysaccharides from the plant cell wall. Hydrolytic enzymes are necessary to convert ...

Growth factor(s) present in a spent liquid medium after culture of the yeast form of Histoplasma capsulatum enhanced both yeast and mycelial growth of nine isolates tested. Hydroxamic acid extracted from the culture fluid displayed growth factor activity.

The optimal conditions for mycelial growth of Phellinus linteus ATCC 26710 were determined to be a log length of 20 cm, temperature of 30℃ and pH of 6.0. Mycelial growth was excellent on the mushroom complete medium, and was optimal when sucrose, mannose and glucose were supplied as carbon sources. Potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate as nitrogen sources supported good mycelial growth. To evalu...

During temperature-induced transition of the dimorphic pathogenic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum from the single yeast cell form to the multicellular mycelial form, there was an increase in intracellular cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) levels as well as a striking accumulation of cAMP in the medium. cAMP levels also changed during the reverse mycelium-to-yeast transition.
