Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst)) is one of the most devastating fungal diseases durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. Desf.). Races Pst with new virulence combinations are emerging more regularly on wheat-growing continents, which challenges breeding for resistance. This study aimed to identify and characterize resistance races based a genome-wide association study. GWAS...

BACKGROUND Cases of superficial and invasive mycoses caused by emerging species of Candida have been increasingly reported over the last thirty years. The production of hydrolytic enzymes plays a central role in the fungal infective process. In Candida infections the secretion of both proteases and phospholipases are well-known virulence attributes. AIMS To determine the protease and phosphol...

Three new records of Ascomycota species (Chaetomium acropullum, Phialemonium globosum, Phialemonium atrogriseum) from field soils in Korea are presented in this study. These newly discovered fungal isolates were isolated from field soils from various places across Gyeongnam, Korea in 2016. All the isolates were identified and described based on morphological characteristics, and rDNA internal t...

The evolving global threat of antimicrobial resistance requires a deep renewal of the antibiotic arsenal including the isolation and characterization of new drugs. Underexplored marine ecosystems may represent an untapped reservoir of novel bioactive molecules. Deep-sea fungi isolated from a record-depth sediment core of almost 2000 m below the seafloor were investigated for antimicrobial activ...

Eutypa lata is a fungal pathogen causing severe dieback in vineyards worldwide. This fungus colonizes vines through pruning wounds, eventually causing a brown sectorial necrosis in wood as well as stunted vegetative growth. Several years may pass between infection and the expression of external symptoms, hindering the rapid evaluation of both grapevine cultivars susceptibility and E. lata varia...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Unhygienic poultry feedstuffs can lead to nutrient losses and detrimental effect on poultry production and public health. In the present study, mycobiota and colony-forming units per gram in ingredients and finish poultry feed was evaluated with special reference to potentially mycotoxigenic fungi. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty five samples of corn, soybean meal and p...

The bioplastic can be made from sago flour and known as sagoplast. It was widely that for making bioplastic, the addition of acetic acid glycerol are needed. Products air-dried easy to grow fungi within a few weeks. This makes basis researchers undestand more about character identity sagoplast degrading fungi. Characterization identification were carried out by observed morphology analyzing 18S...

background  and  objectives: pseudomonas  aeruginosa is responsible for devastating nosocomial infections among severely burn patients. class c of cephalosporinase (ampc-β-lactamases) is important cause of multiple β-lactam resistance in p. aeruginosa . the aim of this study was to detect the ampc-β-lactamases producing isolates among carbapenem resistant p.  aeruginosa isolated from burn patie...

Most of fungal biodiversity on Earth remains unknown especially in the unexplored habitats. In this study, we compared fungi associated with grass (Poaceae) roots from two ecosystems: the temperate pine barrens in New Jersey, USA and tropical rain forests in Yunnan, China, using the same sampling, isolation and species identification methods. A total of 426 fungal isolates were obtained from 16...

Background and Objective: Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal disease. Prosopis farcta has attracted attention for ethnobotany and medical purposes. The present study aimed to investigate the antifungal properties of Prosopis farcta extracts against Trichophyton mentagrophytes (PTCC 5054) and five archived terbinafine resistant clinical isolates of T. mentagrophyte, based on an ethnobotanic...
