| fungus allergens inside and outside the residences of atopic and control children. | airborne fungi were collected during the peak fungus season, using the n6 andersen sampler inside and outside the homes of 46 asthmatic children, 20 atopic children, and 26 nonatopic control children in the taipei area. the geometric mean fungus concentrations of the asthmatic, atopic, and control groups were found to be 565, 411, and 608 colony-forming units (cfu) per m3 in the living rooms; 659, 464, and 602 cfu m3 in the bedrooms; and 547, 449, and 668 cfu m3 outdoors; respectively. aspergill ... | 1995 | 7717768 |
| composition and antimicrobial activity of the leaf essential oil of litsea kostermansii from taiwan. | the hydrodistillated leaf essential oil of litsea kostermansii was analyzed to determine its composition and yield. seventy-three compounds were identified, the main components being beta-eudesmol (22.5%), gamma-eudesmol (18.6%), delta-selinene (8.5%), alpha-eudesmol (6.0%), and gamma-muurolene (4.7%). oxygenated sesquiterpenes (66.2%) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (32.8%) were the predominant groups of compounds. the leaf oil exhibited excellent antimicrobial activities. | 2009 | 19768997 |

| antifungal susceptibilities of clinical isolates of candida species, cryptococcus neoformans, and aspergillus species from taiwan: surveillance of multicenter antimicrobial resistance in taiwan program data from 2003. | the susceptibilities of nonduplicate isolates to six antifungal agents were determined for 391 blood isolates of seven candida species, 70 clinical isolates (from blood or cerebrospinal fluid) of cryptococcus neoformans, and 96 clinical isolates of four aspergillus species, which were collected in seven different hospitals in taiwan (as part of the 2003 program of the study group surveillance of multicenter antimicrobial resistance in taiwan). all isolates of candida species other than c. glabra ... | 2005 | 15673726 |
| dynamic synergistic effect on trichoderma reesei cellulases by novel ß-glucosidases from taiwanese fungi. | dynamic synergistic effects in cellulosic bioconversion have been revealed between trichoderma reesei cellulases and ß-glucosidases (bgls) from six taiwanese fungi. a high level of synergy (8.9-fold) was observed with the addition of chaetomella raphigera bgl to t. reesei cellulases. in addition, the c. raphigera bgl possessed the highest activity (v(max)/k(m)=46.6 u/mg mm) and lowest glucose inhibition (ki=4.6mm) with the substrate 4-nitrophenyl ß-d-glucopyranoside. for the natural cellobiose s ... | 2011 | 21377353 |
| the effects of transported asian dust on the composition and concentration of ambient fungi in taiwan. | this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of transported asian dust and other environmental parameters on the levels and compositions of ambient fungi in the atmosphere of northern taiwan. we monitored asian dust events in taipei county, taiwan from january 2003 to june 2004. we used duplicate burkard portable air samplers to collect ambient fungi before, during, and after dust events. six transported asian dust events were monitored during the study period. elevated concentrations of asp ... | 2011 | 21328007 |
| composition and antimicrobial activity of the leaf and twig oils of litsea mushaensis and l. linii from taiwan. | the hydrodistilled essential oils of the leaves and twigs of litsea mushaensis and l. linii were analyzed. sixty-nine and ninety compounds were identified in the leaf and twig oils, respectively, of l. mushaensis. the main components of the leaf oil were beta-eudesmol (24.2%), tau-cadinol (10.2%), alpha-humulene (10.1%), alpha-pinene (9.7%), and trans-beta-ocimene (6.5%), whereas the main components of the twig oil were trans-beta-ocimene (19.5%), alpha-pinene (12.8%) and cis-beta-ocimene (7.7%) ... | 2010 | 21213991 |
| composition and antifungal activities of the leaf essential oil of neolitsea parvigemma from taiwan. | the hydrodistillated leaf essential oil of neolitsea parvigemma was analyzed to determine its composition and yield. sixty-two compounds were identified, the main components being beta-caryophyllene (14.2%), beta-eudesmol (12.9%), alpha-cadinol (10.2%) and tau-cadinol (8.8%). oxygenated sesquiterpenes (48.9%) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (48.8%) were the predominant groups of compounds. the antifungal indexes of the leaf oil against the 7 fungi, aspergillus clavatus, a. niger, chaetomium globo ... | 2011 | 21941915 |
