Invasive mycotic infections can be effectively treated if rapid identification of fungus is obtained. We reported a case of coinfection by Aspergillus and Rhizopus sp. involving nose, paranasal sinuses, orbit, and brain in a 68-year-old known hypertensive male. He was presented to ENT OPD with history of fever and intermittent headache since fifteen days along with history of right-sided nasal ...

Fumaric acid is a promising monomer to obtain biomass-based polyesters and polyamides, it mainly produced by fungi of the Rhizopus genus in medium high titters. The use glucose, main component starchy cellulosic food waste, as carbon source, together with low-nitrogen source concentration, route reduce process costs. In this work, effects nitrogen carbonate sources on arrhizus NRRL 1526 morphol...
