pseudodeflectusin, a novel isochroman derivative from aspergillus pseudodeflectus a parasite of the sea weed, sargassum fusiform, as a selective human cancer cytotoxin.	a new isochroman derivative named pseudodeflectusin was isolated from a culture broth of aspergillus pseudodeflectus. the structure was determined by spectroscopic means as 9-hydroxy-7-methyl-2-(methylethylidine)-furano[3,2-h]isochroman-3-one. this compound exhibited cytotoxicity for several human cancer cell lines from the stomach (nugc-3), cervix (hela-s3), and peripheral blood (hl-60), but did not affect those from the lung (a549) or colon (dld-1). the ld50 value of this compound for hl-60 ce ...	2004	15177469
in vitro activity of nine antifungal agents against clinical isolates of aspergillus calidoustus.	this study analyzes aspergillus isolates from the spanish national centre for microbiology collection, which were identified morphologically as members of aspergillus section usti. strains were identified through the analysis of the internal transcribed spacer regions and partial beta tubulin gene sequences. one aspergillus pseudodeflectus isolate and eight aspergillus calidoustus isolates were detected in this panel of clinical strains. terbinafine and the echinocandins micafungin and anidulafu ...	2010	19296366
diversity of fungi from the mound nests of formica ulkei and adjacent non-nest soils.	culture-based methods were employed to recover 3929 isolates of fungi from soils collected in may and july 2014 from mound nests of formica ulkei and adjacent non-nest sites. the abundance, diversity, and richness of species from nest mounds exceeded those of non-mound soils, particularly in july. communities of fungi from mounds were more similar to those from mounds than non-mounds; this was also the case for non-mound soils with the exception of one non-mound site in july. species of aspergil ...	2016	27192606
