| discrimination of three genetically close aspergillus species by using high resolution melting analysis applied to indoor air as case study. | indoor air pollution caused by fungal contamination is suspected to have a public health impact. monitoring of the composition of the indoor airborne fungal contaminants is therefore important. to avoid problems linked to culture-dependent protocols, molecular methods are increasingly being proposed as an alternative. among these molecular methods, the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and the real-time pcr are the most frequently used tools for indoor fungal detection. however, even if these tool ... | 2017 | 28376723 |
| 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 |
| detection of volatile metabolites of moulds isolated from a contaminated library. | the principal fungal species isolated from a contaminated library environment were tested for their microbial volatile organic compound (mvoc) production ability. aspergillus creber, a. penicillioides, cladosporium cladosporioides, eurotium chevalieri, e. halophilicum, penicillium brevicompactum and p. chrysogenum were cultivated on suitable culture media inside sample bottles specifically designed and created for direct mvoc injection to a gc-ms instrument. the fungal emissions were monitored o ... | 2016 | 27392938 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
