fusarium solani: evidence for common antigenic/allergenic determinants with other fungi imperfecti.aqueous extracts of fusarium solani and other members of the fungi imperfecti were evaluated for the presence of common antigenic/allergenic determinants using skin-prick testing, radio-allergo-sorbent test (rast) inhibition, and immunoelectrophoretic methods. prevalence of skin reactivity in forty-four atopic individuals, tested with commercially available fungal extracts, ranged from 27.3% for alternaria tenuis to 6.8% for penicillium notatum. no specific patterns of reactivity emerged from st ...19872438068

[house dust mold in istanbul. i. detection of mold flora in bed dust].in our study, mycological analyses were carried out on 110 randomly chosen houses for bed dusts. 748 mould strains belonging to 117 genus and species were isolated and identified. air-borne pathogenic fungi, fungi that are causative agents of pulmonary allergy such as cladosporium spp., aspergillus glaucus group, alternaria, ulocladium, aureobasidium pullulans, aspergillus niger group were isolated.19883273596
mycotoxin-producing potential of mold flora of dried beans.to evaluate the potential for mycotoxin production by molds in dried beans, the mold flora of 114 samples was determined both before and after surface disinfection of the beans with 5% naocl. surface disinfection substantially reduced mold incidence, indicating that contamination was mainly on the surface. the flora, both before and after disinfection, was dominated by species of the aspergillus glaucus group, the toxicogenic species a ochracues, penicillium cyclopium, and p. viridicatum, and sp ...19751168442

odor volatiles associated with microflora in damp ventilated and non-ventilated bin-stored bulk wheat.western hard red spring wheat, stored at 20 and 25% moisture contents for 10 months during 1985-86, was monitored for biotic and abiotic variables in 10 unheated bins in winnipeg, manitoba. the major odor volatiles identified were 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-octanone and 1-octen-3-ol. the production of these volatiles was associated and correlated with microfloral infection. ventilation, used for cooling and drying of grain, disrupted microfloral growth patterns and production of volatiles. the highes ...19892641886
osmophilism in foodgrain storage fungi.a comparative study of different species of storage fungi isolated from rice showed them to be truly osmophilic rather than osmotolerant. their osmophilism was of a high order, their optimum sucrose requirement being in the range of 50% to 75% w/v in the medium. however, only aspergillus glaucus was obligately osmophilic. a sucrose concentration of 50% w/v in czapek-dox agar was concluded to be the most suitable for the isolation of these different fungi from foodgrains.19836415482
formation of alpha-hydroxyglutaric acid by aspergillus glaucus.aspergillus glaucus, cultured on sodium propionate-mineral salts medium, incorporates (14)c-glyoxylate into labeled alpha-hydroxyglutaric acid within 30 sec. mycelial extracts retain this biosynthetic capacity, which is destroyed by heating. propionyl-2-(14)c-coenzyme a also in incorporated into labeled alpha-hydroxyglutaric acid by these mycelial extracts, but to a more limited extent.
