| characterization of microbial communities in chinese rice wine collected at yichang city and suzhou city in china. | two typical microbial communities from chinese rice wine fermentation collected in yichang city and suzhou city in china were investigated. both communities could ferment glutinous rice to rice wine in 2 days. the sugar and ethanol contents were 198.67 and 14.47 mg/g, respectively, for rice wine from yichang city, and 292.50 and 12.31 mg/g, respectively, for rice wine from suzhou city. acetic acid and lactic acid were the most abundant organic acids. abundant fungi and bacteria were detected in ... | 2017 | 28621110 |
| heavy metal tolerance traits of filamentous fungi isolated from gold and gemstone mining sites. | increased environmental pollution has necessitated the need for eco-friendly clean-up strategies. filamentous fungal species from gold and gemstone mine site soils were isolated, identified and assessed for their tolerance to varied heavy metal concentrations of cadmium (cd), copper (cu), lead (pb), arsenic (as) and iron (fe). the identities of the fungal strains were determined based on the internal transcribed spacer 1 and 2 (its 1 and its 2) regions. mycelia growth of the fungal strains were ... | 2017 | 28844883 |
| enhanced production of raw starch degrading enzyme using agro-industrial waste mixtures by thermotolerant rhizopus microsporus for raw cassava chip saccharification in ethanol production. | in the present study, solid-state fermentation for the production of raw starch degrading enzyme was investigated by thermotolerant rhizopus microsporus tistr 3531 using a combination of agro-industrial wastes as substrates. the obtained crude enzyme was applied for hydrolysis of raw cassava starch and chips at low temperature and subjected to nonsterile ethanol production using raw cassava chips. the agro-industrial waste ratio was optimized using a simplex axial mixture design. the results sho ... | 2017 | 28636431 |
| intrinsic short-tailed azole resistance in mucormycetes is due to an evolutionary conserved aminoacid substitution of the lanosterol 14α-demethylase. | mucormycoses are emerging and potentially lethal infections. an increase of breakthrough infections has been found in cohorts receiving short-tailed azoles prophylaxis (e.g. voriconazole (vcz)). although vcz is ineffective in vitro and in vivo, long-tailed triazoles such as posaconazole remain active against mucormycetes. our goal was to validate the molecular mechanism of resistance to short-tailed triazoles in mucorales. the paralogous cytochrome p450 genes (cyp51 f1 and cyp51 f5) of rhizopus ... | 2017 | 29162893 |
| occurrence and species distribution of pathogenic mucorales in unselected soil samples from france. | mucormycosis is a life-threatening invasive fungal disease that affects a variety of patient groups. although mucorales are mostly opportunistic pathogens originating from soil or decaying vegetation, there are currently few data on prevalence of this group of fungi in the environment. the aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence and diversity of species of mucorales from soil samples collected in france. two grams of soil were homogenized in sterile saline and plated on sabouraud d ... | 2017 | 28992337 |
| optimization of biodiesel synthesis by esterification using a fermented solid produced by rhizopus microsporus on sugarcane bagasse. | a fermented solid containing lipases was produced by solid-state fermentation of rhizopus microsporus on sugarcane bagasse enriched with urea, soybean oil, and a mineral solution. the dry fermented solid produced using r. microsporus (rmfs) was used to catalyze the synthesis of alkyl-esters by esterification in a solvent-free system containing ethanol and oleic acid (as a model system) or a mixture of fatty acids obtained from the physical hydrolysis of soybean soapstock acid oil (fa-ssao) in su ... | 2018 | 29353453 |
| rare cause of pulmonary cavitation in a 75-year-old man. | a 75-year-old man of asian descent presented to the acute medical unit with signs and symptoms suggestive of a community-acquired pneumonia. he had multiple comorbidities and was relatively immunocompromised as a result. initial investigations supported the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia complicated by a cavitating lung lesion, and the patient was treated as per hospital guidelines. he continued to deteriorate despite appropriate therapy and developed a hydropneumothorax, requiring th ... | 2018 | 29326340 |
| fungal and herbivore elicitation of the novel maize sesquiterpenoid, zealexin a4, is attenuated by elevated co2. | chemical isolation and nmr-based structure elucidation revealed a novel keto-acidic sesquiterpenoid, termed zealexin a4 (za4). za4 is elicited by pathogens and herbivory, but attenuated by heightened levels of co 2 . the identification of the labdane-related diterpenoids, termed kauralexins and acidic sesquiterpenoids, termed zealexins, demonstrated the existence of at least ten novel stress-inducible maize metabolites with diverse antimicrobial activity. despite these advances, the identity of ... | 2017 | 29260396 |
| seasonal clustering of sinopulmonary mucormycosis in patients with hematologic malignancies at a large comprehensive cancer center. | invasive mucorales infections (imi) lead to significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts. the role of season and climatic conditions in case clustering of imi remain poorly understood. | 2017 | 29225797 |
| bacterial endosymbionts influence host sexuality and reveal reproductive genes of early divergent fungi. | many heritable mutualisms, in which beneficial symbionts are transmitted vertically between host generations, originate as antagonisms with parasite dispersal constrained by the host. only after the parasite gains control over its transmission is the symbiosis expected to transition from antagonism to mutualism. here, we explore this prediction in the mutualism between the fungus rhizopus microsporus (rm, mucoromycotina) and a beta-proteobacterium burkholderia, which controls host asexual reprod ... | 2017 | 29184190 |
| backbone and ile-δ1, leu, val methyl 1h, 15n, and 13c, chemical shift assignments for rhizopus chinensis lipase. | lipase r27rcl is a 296-residue, 33 kda monomeric enzyme with high ester hydrolysis activity, which has significant applications in the baking, paper and leather industries. the lipase gene prorcl from rhizopus microsporus var. chinensis (also rhizopus chinensis) cctcc m201021 was cloned as a fusion construct c-terminal to a maltose-binding protein (mbp) tag, and expressed as mbp-prorcl in an escherichia coli bl21 trxb (de3) expression system with uniform 2h,13c,15n-enrichment and ile-δ1, leu, an ... | 2017 | 28929427 |
