| mycotic dermatitis with digital gangrene and osteomyelitis, and protozoal intestinal parasitism in marlborough green geckos (naultinus manukanus). | thirty adult marlborough green geckos (naultinus manukanus) were collected from stephens island and held over winter, prior to their translocation. five adult geckos developed skin lesions after husbandry changes affected the humidity of their enclosures. two geckos underwent ecdysis and recovered. one animal died and two others progressively worsened and were presented for treatment. clinical and pathological findings: the geckos were in poor body condition and had multiple black powdery lesion ... | 2005 | 16220134 |
| characterization of an extracellular endopolygalacturonase from the saprobe mucor ramosissimus samutsevitsch and its action as trigger of defensive response in tropical plants. | in recent years, interest in the ability of non-pathogenic microorganisms to induce resistance in plants has grown, particularly with respect to their use as environmentally safe controllers of plant disease. in this study, we investigated the capacity of mucor ramosissimus samutsevitsch to release pectinases able to degrade cell walls of palicourea marcgravii st. hil., a tropical forest native rubiaceae on which the spores of this saprobic fungus have been found. the fungus was grown in liquid ... | 2006 | 17123032 |
| mucor ramosissimus associated with feather loss in canaries (serinus canarius). | three canaries showing feather loss on legs, dorsum, neck, and head, and hyperkeratosis on the feet were sacrificed because of their poor corporal condition and submitted to the unit of histology and anatomic pathology at the veterinary school of las palmas de gran canaria. histologically, skin revealed pronounced epidermal and follicular infundibular hyperplasia associated with orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis. numerous fungal spores were observed on the stratum corneum of the epidermis and within ... | 2007 | 17626501 |
| effects of inhaled fine dust on lung tissue changes and antibody response induced by spores of opportunistic fungi in goats. | to investigate the effects of sterile fine dust aerosol inhalation on antibody responses and lung tissue changes induced by mucor ramosissimus or trichoderma viride spores following intratracheal inoculation in goats. | 2008 | 18380582 |
| isolation of phosphate-solubilizing fungi from phosphate mines and their effect on wheat seedling growth. | three phosphate-solubilizing fungi, identified as penicillium expansum, mucor ramosissimus, and candida krissii, were isolated from phosphate mines (hubei, people's republic of china) and characterized. all the isolates demonstrated diverse levels of phosphate-solubilizing capability in national botanical research institute's phosphate growth medium containing rock phosphate as sole phosphate source. acidification of culture medium seemed to be the main mechanism for rock phosphate solubilizatio ... | 2009 | 19277482 |
| genotypic analysis of mucor from the platypus in australia. | mucor amphibiorum is the only pathogen known to cause significant morbidity and mortality in the free-living platypus (ornithorhynchus anatinus) in tasmania. infection has also been reported in free-ranging cane toads (bufo marinus) and green tree frogs (litoria caerulea) from mainland australia but has not been confirmed in platypuses from the mainland. to date, there has been little genotyping specifically conducted on m. amphibiorum. a collection of 21 mucor isolates representing isolates fro ... | 2010 | 20090018 |
