| occurrence of soil- and tick-borne fungi and related virulence tests for pathogenicity to ixodes scapularis (acari: ixodidae). | ixodes scapularis say, the blacklegged tick, vectors borrelia burgdorferi johnson et al. 1984, the bacterium that causes lyme disease, the most important vector-borne disease in the united states. efforts to reduce i. scapularis populations are shifting toward the development of biological control methods. currently, only a few entomopathogenic fungal species are considered virulent to ticks. we hypothesized that these species may not represent the most abundant local taxa that would be pathogen ... | 2011 | 21485371 |
| four psychrotolerant species with high chemical diversity consistently producing cycloaspeptide a, penicillium jamesonlandense sp. nov., penicillium ribium sp. nov., penicillium soppii and penicillium lanosum. | penicillium jamesonlandense is a novel species from greenland that grows exceptionally slowly at 25 degrees c and has an optimum temperature for growth of 17-18 degrees c. the novel species is more psychrotolerant than any other penicillium species described to date. isolates of this novel species produce a range of secondary metabolites with a high chemical diversity, represented by kojic acid, penicillic acid, griseofulvin, pseurotin, chrysogine, tryptoquivalins and cycloaspeptide. penicillium ... | 2006 | 16738124 |
