| decayed wood of syzygium cumini and ficus religiosa living trees in delhi/new delhi metropolitan area as natural habitat of cryptococcus neoformans. | the isolation is reported of cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii and c. n. var. neoformans from decayed wood inside trunk hollows of syzygium cumini and of c. n. var. neoformans from ficus religiosa trees in the delhi/new delhi metropolitan area. fourteen of sixty-six (21%) s. cumini trees investigated proved to be positive, seven for each variety. the two varieties never co-occurred in the same hollow. c. n. var. neoformans was also isolated from three of seventeen ficus religiosa-trees. two of ... | 2003 | 12964711 |
| isoprene emission from tropical tree species. | foliar emission of isoprene was measured in nine commonly growing tree species of delhi, india. dynamic flow enclosure technique was used and gas samples were collected onto tenax-gc/carboseive cartridges, which were then attached to the sample injection system in the gas chromatograph (gc). eluting compounds were analysed using a flame ionisation detector (fid). out of the nine tree species, isoprene emission was found in six species (eucalyptus sp., ficus benghalensis, ficus religiosa, mangife ... | 2005 | 15701397 |
| efficacy of swabbing versus a conventional technique for isolation of cryptococcus neoformans from decayed wood in tree trunk hollows. | the efficacy of swabbing versus a conventional sedimentation technique was evaluated for sampling of decayed wood in tree trunk hollows for isolation of cryptococcus neoformans. of 52 samples of decayed wood, bark or other plant debris originating from 35 living trees, 42 wood samples yielded c. neoformans. the positive samples included 40 collected from 31 syzygium cumini trees growing along roadsides in old delhi, whereas the remaining two were from inside tree trunk fissures of ficus religios ... | 2005 | 15712609 |
| cryptococcus randhawai sp. nov., a novel anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast isolated from tree trunk hollow of ficus religiosa (peepal tree) from new delhi, india. | a novel anamorphic cryptococcus species is described, which was isolated in new delhi (india) from decaying wood of a tree trunk hollow of ficus religiosa. on the basis of sequence analysis of the d1/d2 domains of the 26s rrna gene and the internally transcribed spacer (its)-1 and its-2 region sequences, the isolate belonged to the cryptococcus albidus cluster (filobasidiales, tremellomycetes) and was closely related to cryptococcus saitoi, cryptococcus cerealis and cryptococcus friedmannii with ... | 2010 | 20091225 |
