distribution of sterigmatocystin in filamentous fungi.	during the last 50y, the carcinogenic mycotoxin sterigmatocystin (st) has been reported in several phylogenetically and phenotypically different genera: aschersonia, aspergillus, bipolaris, botryotrichum, chaetomium, emericella, eurotium, farrowia, fusarium, humicola, moelleriella, monocillium and podospora. we have reexamined all available strains of the original producers, in addition to ex type and further strains of each species reported to produce st and the biosynthetically derived aflatox ...	2011	21530923
aspergillus section versicolores: nine new species and multilocus dna sequence based phylogeny.	β-tubulin, calmodulin, internal transcribed spacer and partial lsu-rdna, rna polymerase 2, dna replication licensing factor mcm7, and pre-rrna processing protein tsr1 were amplified and sequenced from numerous isolates belonging to aspergillus sect. versicolor. the isolates were analyzed phylogenetically using the concordance model to establish species boundaries. aspergillus austroafricanus, a. creber, a. cvjetkovicii, a. fructus, a. jensenii, a. puulaauensis, a. subversicolor, a. tennesseensis ...	2012	23155501
[the first case of persistent vaginitis due to aspergillus protuberus in an immunocompetent patient].	the vast majority of vaginal fungal infections are caused by candida species. however, vaginitis cases caused by molds are extremely rare. aspergillus protuberus is previously known as a member of aspergillus section versicolores which can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, however it has recently been described as a seperate species. although the members of aspergillus section versicolores have been isolated rarely in cases of pulmonary infections, eye infections, oto ...	2015	25706739
species diversity and cytotoxic potency of airborne sterigmatocystin-producing aspergilli from the section versicolores.	this study presents the distribution and species diversity of sterigmatocystin-producing aspergilli from the section versicolores in the indoor air of apartment-ap, basements-bs and grain mill-gm in croatia, as well as the cytotoxic potency of isolates. the species comprised 0.7-20% of total airborne fungi detected in the ap, 11-55% in the bs, and 0-2% in the gm. based on cam sequences, seven species were identified; dominant were aspergillus jensenii and aspergillus creber, followed by aspergil ...	2016	27100010
species diversity of aspergillus section versicolores in clinical samples and antifungal susceptibility.	aspergillus section versicolores includes species of clinical relevance and many others that have been poorly studied but are occasionally found in clinical samples. the aim of this study was to investigate, using a multilocus phylogenetic approach, the spectrum of species of the section versicolores and to determine their in vitro antifungal susceptibility. the study was based on a set of 77 clinical isolates from different usa medical centres, which had been previously identified as belonging ...	2016	27742099
enantioselective inhibitory abilities of enantiomers of notoamides against rankl-induced formation of multinuclear osteoclasts.	the marine-derived aspergillus protuberus mf297-2 and the terrestrial a. amoenus nrrl 35600 produce enantiomeric prenylated indole alkaloids. investigation of biological activities of the natural and synthetic derivatives revealed that (-)-enantiomers of notoamides a and b, 6-epi-notoamide t, and stephacidin a inhibited receptor activator of nuclear factor-κb (nf-κb) ligand (rankl)-induced osteoclastogenic differentiation of murine raw264 cells more strongly than their respective (+)-enantiomers ...	2017	29037945
