degradation of wood preservatives by fungi.	wood-inhabiting fungi, not necessarily responsible for major decay, are shown to be capable of degrading a toxic compound into a less potent form, thus rendering it less effective in protecting wood from decay by less-tolerant basidiomycetous wood-destroyers. sweetgum or pine sapwood blocks treated with preservatives (ammoniacal copper arsenate, fluor-chrome-arsenate-dinitrophenol, a creosote or pentachlorophenol) were exposed progressively to two different wood-inhabiting fungi with sterilizati ...	1964	16349644
toxicity to rats of corn invaded by chaetomium globosum.	of 53 isolates of chaetomium globosum kunze isolated from corn, manufactured feed, and fiberboard, grown on autoclaved corn, and fed to rats, 25 were lethal within 4 to 6 days. thirty-six single ascospore cultures of one isolate were uniformly lethal when similarly grown and fed to rats. incubation of the fungus on corn for 6 to 8 weeks resulted in greater toxicity than shorter incubation times. premortem symptoms indicated damage to the central nervous system of the affected animals, and postmo ...	1966	5970465

growth of chitinolytic dune soil beta-subclass proteobacteria in response to invading fungal hyphae.	it has frequently been reported that chitinolytic soil bacteria, in particular biocontrol strains, can lyse living fungal hyphae, thereby releasing potential growth substrate. however, the conditions used in such assays (high bacterial density, rich media, fragmented hyphae) make it difficult to determine whether mycolytic activity is actually of importance for the growth and survival of chitinolytic bacteria in soils. an unidentified group of beta-subclass proteobacteria (cbetaps) was most domi ...	2001	11472904

use of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/solid phase microextraction for the identification of mvocs from moldy building materials.	gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/solid phase microextraction (gc-ms/spme) was applied to identify microbial volatile organic compounds (mvocs) in water-damaged, mold-infested building materials (gypsum board papers (n=2), mineral wool, and masonite) and in cultivated molds (aspergillus penicillioides, stachybotrys chartarum, and chaetomium globosum). three spme fibers (65-microm pdms-dvb, 75-microm carboxen-pdms, and 70-microm carbowax-stableflex) designed for automated injection were used o ...	2003	12531501
interactions between nematophagous fungi and consequences for their potential as biological agents for the control of potato cyst nematodes.	the efficacies of three nematophagous fungi, paecilomyces lilacinus, plectosphaerella cucumerina and pochonia chlamydosporia, for controlling potato cyst nematodes (pcn) as part of an integrated pest management (ipm) regime were studied. the compatibility of the nematophagous fungi with commonly used chemical pesticides and their ability to compete with the soil fungi rhizoctonia solani, chaetomium globosum, fusarium oxysporum, penicillium bilaii and trichoderma harzianum were tested in vitro. p ...	2003	12735243
fungal parasitism of heterodera glycines eggs as influenced by egg age and pre-colonization of cysts by other fungi.	the objective of this study was to determine the effect of egg age and pre-colonization of cysts by a saprophytic or parasitic fungus on parasitism of heterodera glycines eggs by other parasitic fungi. in agar and in soil tests, fungi generally parasitized more eggs in early developmental stages than eggs containing a juvenile. the effect of pre-colonization of cysts by a fungus on parasitism of eggs by other fungi depended on the fungi involved. in most cases, pre-colonization of cysts by an un ...	2003	19262761
microbial community composition affects soil fungistasis.	most soils inhibit fungal germination and growth to a certain extent, a phenomenon known as soil fungistasis. previous observations have implicated microorganisms as the causal agents of fungistasis, with their action mediated either by available carbon limitation (nutrient deprivation hypothesis) or production of antifungal compounds (antibiosis hypothesis). to obtain evidence for either of these hypotheses, we measured soil respiration and microbial numbers (as indicators of nutrient stress) a ...	2003	12571002
survival of filamentous fungi in hypersaline dead sea water.	a variety of filamentous fungi have recently been isolated from the dead sea (340 g/l total dissolved salts). to assess the extent to which such fungi can survive for prolonged periods in dead sea water, we examined the survival of both spores and mycelia in undiluted dead sea water and in dead sea water diluted to different degrees with distilled water. mycelia of aspergillus versicolor and chaetomium globosum strains isolated from the dead sea remained viable for up to 8 weeks in undiluted dea ...	2003	12545316
detection of viable fungal spores contaminant on documents and rapid control of the effectiveness of an ethylene oxide disinfection using atp assay.	filamentous fungi are able to damage and even destroy archival and library materials. nowadays the conventional method for detecting such micro-organisms is to put them in cultures but such methods are laborious and time-consuming. atp methodology has been widely applied in other domains and its success on bacteria and yeast has been demonstrated. several commercial reagent kits are available but they did not give satisfactory results on spores mould. we have elaborated new extraction strategies ...	2003	12687632
infection of barley roots by chaetomium globosum: evidence for a protective role of the exodermis.	plant pathogenesis by fungi is known to be dependent on the host genotype, the virulence of the pathogen and certain environmental conditions influencing fungal establishment. previously, it has been shown that chaetomium globosum, a fungus well-characterized for its biocontrol potential, causes necrosis on barley roots grown in murashige and skoog (ms)-agar. using ms-agar and aeroponic culture as axenic plant growth systems, c. globosum pathogenesis was analyzed with serological and histologica ...	2003	14563137

the sirodesmin biosynthetic gene cluster of the plant pathogenic fungus leptosphaeria maculans.	sirodesmin pl is a phytotoxin produced by the fungus leptosphaeria maculans, which causes blackleg disease of canola (brassica napus). this phytotoxin belongs to the epipolythiodioxopiperazine (etp) class of toxins produced by fungi including mammalian and plant pathogens. we report the cloning of a cluster of genes with predicted roles in the biosynthesis of sirodesmin pl and show via gene disruption that one of these genes (encoding a two-module non-ribosomal peptide synthetase) is essential f ...	2004	15387811
bioconversion of (+)-valencene in submerged cultures of the ascomycete chaetomium globosum.	submerged cultures of the ascomycete chaetomium globosum oxidised the exogenous sesquiterpene (+)-valencene to nootkatone via the stereoselective generation of alpha-nootkatol. inhibition experiments suggested that the first introduction of oxygen, the rate-limiting step of the bioconversion, may have been catalysed by a cytochrome-p450-monooxygenase. however, nootkatone was not the final metabolite: further flavour-active and inactive, non-volatile oxidation products were identified. (+)-valenc ...	2004	15602686
