| morphologic criteria for the preliminary identification of fusarium, paecilomyces, and acremonium species by histopathology. | nontraditional human pathogenic fungi, including fusarium, paecilomyces, and acremonium species, have been increasingly documented as agents of infection in immunocompromised patients and, occasionally, in normal hosts. although definitive identification of these fungi requires culture, they often can be identified provisionally in tissue sections by a combination of histologic features, including hyaline septate hyphae and characteristic reproductive structures known as phialides and phialoconi ... | 1998 | 9426517 |
| development of a bionematicide with paecilomyces lilacinus to control meloidogyne incognita. | root-knot disease caused by meloidogyne incognita is a matter of grave concern because it affects several economically important crop plants. the use of solid-state fermentation (ssf) may help to elaborate efficient formulations with fungi to be employed in the biologic control of nematodes. attempts were made to select low-cost substrates for spore production of a strain of paecilomyces lilacinus with known nematicide capacity. coffee husks, cassava bagasse, and defatted soybean cake were utili ... | 2004 | 15304741 |

| dna markers for differentiating isolates of paecilomyces lilacinus. | paecilomyces lilacinus is an agent for the potential biological control of soil nematodes. arbitrarily primed pcr was used to fingerprint the genomes of 28 isolates of this fungus. most (72%) of the isolates originated from soil of different regions of brazil. fourteen 10-mer oligonucleotide primers of arbitrary sequence revealed 293 scorable binary characters. distinct genotypes were obtained for each isolate. cluster analysis showed a high level of variability among these genotypes. the simila ... | 1995 | 7894717 |
| effect of paecilomyces lilacinus on the viability of oncospheres of taenia hydatigena. | paecilomyces lilacinus (thom) samson is a saprophytic hyphomycete from the soil with biological activity on helminth eggs. we evaluated the influence in vitro of p. lilacinus on the viability of the oncospheres from taenia hydatigena, a parasite cestode of dogs and sheep. the eggs were exposed to the fungus strain in sterile distilled water and observed by light microscopy at days 4, 7 and 14 post-inoculation, and the viability was evaluated. the viability found in the exposed p. lilacinus oncos ... | 2005 | 15950384 |
| a basic serine protease from paecilomyces lilacinus with biological activity against meloidogyne hapla eggs. | scanning electron micrographs of the nematode-egg-parasitic fungus paecilomyces lilacinus infecting eggs of the root-knot nematode meloidogyne spp. suggested the involvement of lytic enzymes. when grown on a liquid mineral salts medium, supplemented with different substrates as the sole n- and c-source, the fungus produced an extracellular protease. colloidal chitin, vitellin and intact eggs of the root-knot nematode meloidogyne hapla induced proteolytic activity that was repressed by glucose. t ... | 1995 | 7773385 |
| penetrating keratoplasty for exogenous paecilomyces keratitis followed by postoperative endophthalmitis. | three patients developed paecilomyces lilacinus keratitis while being treated with topical corticosteroids and antibiotics. the first patient, a diabetic man, suffered superficial ocular trauma while being treated for recurrent anterior uveitis related to an iris-fixated intraocular lens. the second patient developed keratitis while being treated for anterior segment inflammation associated with herpes zoster ophthalmicus. the third patient, a woman with chronic lymphoma in remission, was receiv ... | 1984 | 6541878 |
| leucinostatins, peptide mycotoxins produced by paecilomyces lilacinus and their possible roles in fungal infection. | peptide mycotoxins "leucinostatins" were obtained from the culture strains of paecilomyces lilacinus, which were isolated both from soil and a case of human oculomycosis. comparative studies of the symptoms of experimental keratomycosis caused both by the inoculation of p. lilacinus and by direct administration of leucinostatins into the infection model in rabbit suggested the possible role of leucinostatins in the inflammatory response of invaded tissues. leucinostatin was formerly reported as ... | 1984 | 6485630 |
| the use of real-time pcr and species-specific primers for the identification and monitoring of paecilomyces lilacinus. | the paecilomyces lilacinus is the most widely tested fungus for the control of root-knot and cyst nematodes. the fungus has also been implicated in a number of human and animal infections, difficulties in diagnosis often result in misdiagnosis or delays in identification leading to a delay in treatment. here, we report the development of species-specific primers for the identification of p. lilacinus based on sequence information from the its gene, and their use in identifying p. lilacinus isola ... | 2005 | 16329874 |

| oxidative ring cleavage of low chlorinated biphenyl derivatives by fungi leads to the formation of chlorinated lactone derivatives. | the yeast trichosporon mucoides and the filamentous fungus paecilomyces lilacinus as biphenyl oxidizing organisms are able to oxidize chlorinated biphenyl derivatives. initial oxidation of derivatives chlorinated at c4 position started at the non-halogenated ring and went on up to ring cleavage. the products formed were mono- and dihydroxylated 4-chlorobiphenyls, muconic acid derivatives 2-hydroxy-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-muconic acid and 2-hydroxy-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-muconic acid as well as the corres ... | 2006 | 16352329 |
| systemic mycotic disease of captive crocodile hatchling (crocodylus porosus) caused by paecilomyces lilacinus. | the sudden death occurred of a captive estuarine crocodile hatchling (crocodylus porosus). on autopsy, granuloma-like lesions were seen in the liver, left lung and spleen, and branching, septate fungal hyphae were observed in sections of liver and spleen. the fungus isolated from the liver showed characteristics of both paecilomyces lilacinus and paecilomyces marquandii but was closer to the former species. this is apparently the first report of the isolation of this fungus from a reptile in aus ... | 1988 | 3216279 |
| keratinophilic fungi from the duck nails in egypt. | the mycoflora of one hundred and sixty of duck nail samples, collected from the duck farm, faculty of agriculture, assiut university, were examined. using the soil plate technique and sabouraud's dextrose agar, thirty six species appertaining to twenty genera of keratinophilic fungi were isolated. chrysosporium was the genus most frequently isolated (50% of the samples). aspergillus and penicillium occurred in low incidences (13.1 and 12.5% of total samples). trichophyton rubrum was found to col ... | 1989 | 2778647 |
