effects of temperature and fungicides on chrysosporium pannorum (link) hughes.c. pannorum was isolated in low frequencies and only in the colder months from untreated soil and leaves and from those treated with captan, dicloran and thiram. the fungus was isolated throughout the year as the major species from verdasan-treated substrates and it occurred with increased frequencies immediately after application of the fungicide. the abundance of c. pannorum on verdasan-treated substrates was attributed to the ability of the fungus to utilise the fungicide rather than to the a ...1979575973
phanerochaete chrysosporium beta-glucosidases: induction, cellular localization, and physical characterization.phanerochaete chrysosporium produces intracellular soluble and particulate beta-glucosidases and an extracellular beta-glucosidase. the extracellular enzyme is induced by cellulose but repressed in the presence of glucose. the molecular weight of this enzyme is 90,000. the k(m) for p-nitrophenyl-beta-glucoside is 1.6 x 10 m; the k(i) for glucose, a competitive inhibitor, is 5.0 x 10 m. the k(m) for cellobiose is 5.3 x 10 m. the intracellular soluble enzyme is induced by cellobiose; this inductio ...197916345389
metabolism of radiolabeled beta-guaiacyl ether-linked lignin dimeric compounds by phanerochaete chrysosporium.phanerochaete chrysosporium metabolized the radiolabeled lignin model compounds [gamma-c]guaiacylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether and [4-methoxy-c]veratrylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether (vi) to co(2) in stationary and in shaking cultures. co(2) evolution was greater in stationary culture. co(2) evolution from [gamma-c]guaiacyl-glycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether and [4-methoxy-c]veratrylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether in stationary cultures was two- to threefold greater when 100% o(2) rather than air (21% o(2)) ...198016345527
comparative study of a new chrysosporium species with histoplasma capsulatum.the chrysosporium state of a new ascomycete, renispora flavissima (gymnoascaceae), resembles histoplasma capsulatum in its macroconidial morphology. it was discovered growing in bat guano, from which it was readily isolated by direct plating of diluted soil, but only rarely from mice inoculated with soil suspensions. the fungus was consistently reisolated from tissues of mice inoculated intravenously and intraperitoneally with conidial and mycelial suspensions from cultures of the fungus. nevert ...19806158762
keratinophilic fungi from orissa, india, i: isolation from soils.results of a preliminary survey of keratinophilic fungi in soils collected from five districts of orissa, india, are reported. a total of 80 soil samples were examined, of which 51 samples (63.7%) were positive for keratinophilic fungi. twelve species of fungi classified in seven genera were isolated: aphanoascus reticulisporus (2.4%), aph. terreus (1.2%), chrysosporium state of arthroderma tuberculatum (4.8%), chrysosporium indicum (31.3%), chrys. tropicum (18.0%), chrys. evolceanui (1.2%), gym ...19806161419
keratinophilic fungi from orissa, india, ii: isolations from feathers of wild birds and domestic fowls.feather samples from 117 birds, representing 11 species, were examined for keratinophilic fungi. of these, 63 (53.8%) were found to be positive. nine species of fungi classified in 6 genera were isolated: aphanoascus terreus (1.7%), chrysosporium indicum (26.4%), chrys. tropicum (11.1%) the chrysosporium state of aphanoascus spp. (2.5%), the chrysosporium state of arthroderma tuberculatum (3.4%), ctenomyces serratus (0.8%), gymnoascoideus petalosporus (7.6%), malbranchea spp. (6.8%), rollandina ...19806161420
investigation of keratinophilic fungi from soils in western australia a preliminary survey.in order to determine which species of geophilic dermatophytes were present in western australian soils 299 samples were investigated. these samples were collected from a range of locations, 208 towns throughout the state and 91 samples from the perth metropolitan area. most samples were collected from areas frequented by people and animals, such as home gardens, parks and animal yards. of the total 299 soils, 271 (90.6%) yielded keratinophilic fungi. a total of 181 dermatophytes were isolated, ...19806162100

isolation of dermatophytes and correlated species from the soil of public gardens and parks in rome.looking for dermatophytes and other keratinophilic fungi in the soil of parks and gardens in large towns is very interesting because of the relationship between the number of people living in the area and the presence of such fungi in the soil. as compared with other cities in italy, rome offers prime conditions for this kind of research. it has a high population density (10,000 inhabitants per sq/km2), and many parks and gardens, where it is possible to carry out soil studies. it was noted that ...19807423331
lignin degradation by phanerochaete chrysosporium in hyperbaric oxygen.phanerochaete chrysosporium degraded aspen wood lignin as well in 2 atm o2 (1 atm = 101.325 kpa) as in 1 atm o2, but 3 atm o2 inhibited the fungus, and o2 pressures above 4 atm killed it. lignin degradation in 5 atm of air was similar to that in 1 atm of o2, indicating that o2 concentration, not pressure, was the inhibitory factor. the selectivity with which p. chrysosporium metabolised lignin in preference to other wood components did not increase at o2 pressures above 1 atm.19807459728
