| phylogeny and ecology of the ubiquitous saprobe cladosporium sphaerospermum, with descriptions of seven new species from hypersaline environments. | saprobic cladosporium isolates morphologically similar to c. sphaerospermum are phylogenetically analysed on the basis of dna sequences of the ribosomal rna gene cluster, including the internal transcribed spacer regions its1 and its2, the 5.8s rdna (its) and the small subunit (ssu) rdna as well as beta-tubulin and actin gene introns and exons. most of the c. sphaerospermum-like species show halotolerance as a recurrent feature. cladosporium sphaerospermum, which is characterised by almost globo ... | 2007 | 18490999 |
| the indoor fungus cladosporium halotolerans survives humidity dynamics markedly better than aspergillus niger and penicillium rubens despite less growth at lowered steady-state water activity. | indoor fungi cause damage in houses and are a potential threat to human health. indoor fungal growth requires water, for which the terms water activity (aw) and relative humidity (rh) are used. the ability of the fungi aspergillus niger, cladosporium halotolerans, and penicillium rubens at different developmental stages to survive changes in aw dynamics was studied. fungi grown on media with high aw were transferred to a controlled environment with low rh and incubated for 1 week. growth of all ... | 2016 | 27316968 |
| diversity of spoilage fungi associated with various french dairy products. | yeasts and molds are responsible for dairy product spoilage, resulting in significant food waste and economic losses. yet, few studies have investigated the diversity of spoilage fungi encountered in dairy products. in the present study, 175 isolates corresponding to 105 from various spoiled dairy products and 70 originating from dairy production environments, were identified using sequencing of the its region, the partial β-tubulin, calmodulin and/or efα genes, and the d1-d2 domain of the 26s r ... | 2017 | 27794247 |
| fungi associated with rocks of the atacama desert: taxonomy, distribution, diversity, ecology and bioprospection for bioactive compounds. | this study assessed the diversity of cultivable rock-associated fungi from atacama desert. a total of 81 fungal isolates obtained were identified as 29 ascomycota taxa by sequencing different regions of dna. cladosporium halotolerans, penicillium chrysogenum and penicillium cf. citrinum were the most frequent species, which occur at least in four different altitudes. the diversity and similarity indices ranged in the fungal communities across the latitudinal gradient. the fisher-α index displaye ... | 2016 | 26235221 |
| fungal communities of young and mature hypersaline microbial mats. | microbial mats are a laminated organic-sedimentary ecosystem, found in a wide range of habitats. fluctuating diel and seasonal physicochemical gradients characterize these ecosystems, resulting in both strata and microenvironments that harbor specific microbial communities. this study was undertaken to compare two types of microbial mats across seasons to further understand the structure of fungal communities in hypersaline microbial mats and their seasonal dynamics. the structure and diversity ... | 2013 | 23709488 |

| cladosporium species recovered from clinical samples in the united states. | cladosporium species are ubiquitous, saprobic, dematiaceous fungi, only infrequently associated with human and animal opportunistic infections. we have studied a large set of cladosporium isolates recovered from clinical samples in the united states to ascertain the predominant species there in light of recent taxonomic changes in this genus and to determine whether some could possibly be rare potential pathogens. a total of 92 isolates were identified using phenotypic and molecular methods, whi ... | 2015 | 26179305 |
