aspergillus fumigatus and lung disease.	the range of clinical presentations of lung diseases associated with aspergillus spp. is great. the conditions are very frequently misdiagnosed but errors should be avoided if the possibility of a fungal cause is considered and simple immunological tests undertaken. often no more than skin-prick tests and serum precipitins need to be done. in many cases, fungus is not isolated from the sputum and negative results do not exclude the possibility of a. fumigatus as the causal agent. treatment often ...	1979	392479
exposure of rabbits to spores of aspergillus fumigatus or penicillium sp: survival of fungi and microscopic changes in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.	rabbits were exposed to spores of aspergillus fumigatus by 1 of 2 routes: exposure to aerosols of dry spores or introduction of liquid suspensions of spores directly into the stomach. rabbits also were exposed to aerosols containing spores of a penicillium sp. cultural and microscopic examinations of tissues from the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts indicated fungi were distributed throughout the gastrointestinal tract of the rabbits within 1 hour after exposure to aerosols of a fumigatus ...	1979	393142

the effect of ultrasound on genetic instability in diploids of aspergillus nidulans.	ultrasonication at 20 khz and intensity of 59 w/cm2 of a diploid strain of aspergillus nidulans was ound to lead to a significant increase in haploidization of germinating conidiospores. in a preliminary study ultrasound was found not to have an effect on the rate of reverse mutation in conidiospore suspensions of auxotrophic mutants.	1979	393595
thermophilic and thermotolerant fungi in poultry droppings in nigeria.	ten species of fungi were obtained from poultry droppings in nigeria. six of these are true thermophiles while the other four are thermotolerant. aspergillus fumigatus fresenius, mucor pusillus lindt and thermoascus aurantiacus stolk are known human pathogens. except for m. pusillus, all the thermotolerant species had a higher occurrence at 45 degrees c while the thermophilic varieties were readily obtained at 50 degrees c.	1979	393797
allele specific and locus non-specific suppressors in aspergillus nidulans.	using n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine, ultraviolet irradiation, ethyl methanesulphonate or 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide mutagenesis and an enrichment method for the isolation of auxotrophs, 25 mutants with defects in the ada locus were obtained after screening 41,376 colonies. one of these, ada24, did not complement with any of the other ada mutants, had a very high reversion rate and had some other properties which usually characterize strains carrying nonsense mutations. all revertants of ada ...	1979	393802

phenotypes of double conidiation mutants of aspergillus nidulans.	a series of strains, doubly mutant at conidiation loci, have been made. the phenotypes of these strains reflected the epistasy of earlier blocking mutants over later ones and confirmed the order of gene sequence predicted from the phenotypes of single mutants. oligosporogenous mutants gave complex interactions, especially between brl and med mutants. these results indicated that (i) gene action overlapped in time, (ii) several parts of the conidial apparatus were interchangeable and (iii) nuclei ...	1979	396353
evidence that p-fluorophenylalanine has a direct effect on tubulin in aspergillus nidulans.	three temperature-sensitive alleles of bena (bena11, 17 and 21) confer resistance to growth inhibition by p-fluorophenylalanine (fpa). fpa resistance cosegregates with the bena gene. two back-mutations in bena which cause loss of temperature sensitivity cause loss of fpa resistance, and two indirect suppressors of bena temperature sensitivity also cause fpa resistance to be lost. these results indicate that fpa resistance is an intrinsic property of the bena mutations. the intracellular phenylal ...	1979	396355

specific double diffusion microtechnique for the diagnosis of aspergillosis and paracoccidioidomycosis using monospecific antisera.	using experimental reference sera against species-specific antigens of aspergillus fumigatus and paracoccidioides brasiliensis in a microdouble diffusion technique, a simple and specific test for the immunodiagnosis of aspergillosis and paracoccidioidomycosis has been developed. only sera that produced lines of identity with either one of the bands formed by the anti-c2 or the anti-e2 reference sera were considered positive for aspergillosis or paracoccidioidomycosis, respectively. the sensitivi ...	1978	416505
[pulmonary and hepatic aspergillomas in the deer].	four solitary aspergillomas in deer are being described. two were found in the lungs and two in the liver. morphologically, they were bulky, local lesions filled with homogenous, fragile, necrotic tissue of conspicuously green color. pulmonary aspergillomas communicated with the conducting bronchus having affected fibers. the necrotic tissue of aspergillomas was interwoven by diffuse abundant fibers of aspergillus fumigatus.	1978	416550
incidence of airborne aspergillus flavus spores in cornfields of five states.	airborne aspergillus flavus spores were rarely detected throughout the 1975 growing season by the agar plate method at cornfield sites in georgia, illinois, maryland, south carolina, and virginia.	1978	416756

radioprotective effect of aspergillus flavus.	a study designed to determine the extent and intensity of radioprotective effects of the mold conidium a. flavus in white mice revealed a higher survival rate with irradiation doses in the range of ld70-ld90; with irradiation with supralethal doses there is no difference in survival by stimulated and control mice. the radioprotective effect is independent of whether the strain a. flavus had been isolated from environment with enhanced radioactivity or not. it depends on a structure of the wall o ...	1978	417272
time dependence of radioprotective effects of a. flavus conidia.	no essential difference in radioprotection results when conidia of a. flavus are applied to mice within a time lapse of a few minutes up to 48 hours prior to irradiation. when applied 72 hr before irradiation, they fail to affect mouse resistance. application of conidia provide no protection to mice irradiated for 18-20 hr at the dose rate of 1 r/min; similarly ineffective are the chemoprotectors cistafos and mexamine. a combined administration of conidia and the two protective substances increa ...	1978	417273
evaluation of methods to detect antibodies against aspergillus fumigatus.	seventy-five sera, including sera from 23 patients with aspergillosis, 17 with tuberculosis, asthma or carcinoma, and 35 normal controls, were studied for antibody activity against aspergillus fumigatus by agar gel double diffusion (dd), counterimmunoelectrophoresis (cie), indirect hemagglutination (iha) and indirect immunofluorescence (if). metabolic antigens produced from a selected strain of a. fumigatus were used for dd, cie and iha, while slide cultures of the same organism were used for if ...	1978	417619
metabolic products of microorganisms 167. cyclopaldic acid from aspergillus duricaulis. 1. production, isolation and bioloical properties.	in the course of a screening for new metabolites from fungi we isolated a substance with antimicrobial activity from cultures of aspergillus duricaulis (cbs 481.65) (tü 679). it was antagonized by putrescine, spermidine, spermine, arginine, citrulline, lysine, ornithine, in higher concentration by aspraagine and glutamine too. the effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetate on the susceptibility of streptomyces viridochromogenes (tü 57) and bacillus subtilis atcc 6051 to this antibiotic has been studi ...	1978	417692
