The present work aims to study a new NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (cb5r) from Mucor racemosus PTCC 5305. A cDNA coding for cb5r was isolated from a Mucor racemosus PTCC 5305 cDNA library. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA including coding and sequences flanking regions was determined. The open reading frame starting from ATG and ending with TAG stop codon encoded 228 amino acids and displayed...

erative endarteritis were found in the kidney tissue, suggesting intravenous drug addiction in the kidney donor (Figure 1D). Follow-up quantitative Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for cytomegalovirus (CMV) revealed 65.000 copies/ml. Liposomal amphotericin B, therapy for nontuberculous mycobacteriosis and ganciclovir were added to the therapeutic regime. The patient’s condition did not improve a...

background and objective : given the importance of rapid diagnosis for fungal rhinosinusitis, this study aimed to evaluate the use of nested pcr to identify aspergillus and mucor species in clinical samples from patients with suspected fungal rhinosinusitis. methods : functional endoscopic sinus surgery specimens were collected from 98 patients with rhinosinusitis from 2012 to 2013. all samples...

An antigen analysis with filtrate and homogenate precipitinogens of single isolates of the zygomycetes Absidia corymbifera, Mucor pusillus, Rhizopus arrhizus, and Rhizopus oryzae demonstrated the presence of common antigens among the three genera as well as antigens which permit their differentiation. Selected homogenate antigens were valuable in developing a diagnostic immunodiffusion (ID) tes...

During this research, a comprehensive survey of tree growing areas of Faisalabad district of Pakistan was conducted to observe the symptoms, spectrum, occurrence and severity of A. nilotica and E. camaldulensis decline. Objective of current research was to investigate specific fungal pathogens involved in decline of A. nilotica and E. camaldulensis. For this purpose, infected roots, bark, neck ...
