invasive pulmonary infection caused by chrysosporium articulatum: the first case report.	chrysosporium species, saprobic soil fungi, comprise more than 60 species. there is some confusion regarding the taxonomy and nomenclature between chrysosporium and emmonsia since the causative agents of adiaspiromycosis, the development of big thick-walled spores (adiaspores) in humans or animals, were previously thought to be chrysosporium. chrysosporium articulatum has never been reported to cause invasive infection in humans. we report herein the first case of invasive pulmonary infection ca ...	2015	25366105
biodegradation of feather waste keratin by a keratinolytic soil fungus of the genus chrysosporium and statistical optimization of feather mass loss.	this paper assesses the ability of strains of aphanoascus fulvescens and chrysosporium articulatum isolated from soil (phaesol) to degrade native feather keratin. strains were identified based on phenotypic traits and nucleotide sequencing. response surface methodology was used to optimize cultivation conditions exhibiting the highest keratinolytic activity. the experiments were based on box-behnken designs for the loss of substrate mass (chicken feathers). while substrate mass loss is an "econo ...	2017	27885567
