BACKGROUND: The growth of fungal pathology observed in the last decade, including life-threatening invasive mycoses, is associated with spread immunodeficiency states various etiologies. COVID-19 pandemic has made a negative contribution, causing significant increase number patients complications.
 AIM: To characterize types complications acute period new coronavirus infection based on an ...

A mucor, closely resembling Lichtheim's Mucor rhizopodiformis, was isolated from the diseased chorion of a cow and from the lungs and digestive tract of the fetus. No other microorganisms were detected. The mucor was demonstrated in teased preparations from the fresh cotyledons as well as in sections of tissues suitably hardened. It produced focal lesions in rabbits following the intravenous in...

Two new species in the order Mucorales, Mucor velutinosus and Mucor ellipsoideus, isolated from human clinical specimens in the USA, are described and illustrated. The former species is similar to Mucor ramosissimus, from which it can be differentiated by its ability to grow at 37°C and produce verrucose sporangiospores. Mucor ellipsoideus is also able to grow and sporulate at 37°C like M. indi...

In this study, contamination by microscopic fungi (focused on Penicillium and Aspergillus species) of 75 fruit samples (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes) 29 tomato samples, which were obtained from Slovak stores was investigated. Totally 93.3% contaminated with micromycetes (70.6% Botrytis spp., 52.0% Cladosporium 42.7% 13.3% Rhizopus 8.0% Alternaria 6.7% Mucor 5.3% ...

Chemical, microbial and sensory analyses of processed cashew nuts (Anacardium occidentale) samples commonly marketed in Benin City was evaluated using standard methods. The pH moisture content ranged from 4.9±0.05 -5.6±0.06 3.42±0.05 - 5.35±0.3% respectively. Proximate analysis showed the nut contained protein (32.55 ± 0.00- 35.73 0.10 %), carbohydrate (17.70 0.40-19.39 0.00 lipid (9.18 0.30-10...

Although Zygomycetes cause life-threatening, opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts, the first case of vaginitis caused by Mucor species in a healthy woman is reported. Mucor vaginitis, which caused mild symptoms only, was refractory to conventional azole therapy and resistant to flucytosine. Cure was achieved with topical amphotericin B.

Substantial yield losses have been reported during the storage of Allium cepa L., and effective methods to minimize postharvest are currently lacking. Therefore objectives this study were investigate impact pre-treatment with Trichoderma asperellum virens on post-harvest evaluate factors associated these losses. The behaviors L. bulbs after different field treatments spp. examined using a compl...

Fungi are well known by their ability to excrete enzymes into the environment. Among them, representatives of Mucor Fresen. have important biotechnological potential and some of them produce industrial enzymes. This work studied amylase, lipase, polygalacturonase and protease production by fifty-six isolates of Mucor belonging to 11 different taxa, selected from herbivores dung using solid medi...
