| assessment of workers' exposure to bioaerosols in a french cheese factory. | hundreds of different cheeses are produced in france, where 23.9kg of cheese were consumed per inhabitant in 2009, when it was ranked the second cheese-consuming nation. to meet this considerable demand, a large number of cheese factories exist where many workers, especially cheese washers, may be exposed to fungal bioaerosols that can lead to adverse toxinic and allergic effects. airborne bacteria, fragments, or microbial by-products (endotoxins) are also found and contribute to total worker ex ... | 2014 | 24812257 |
| isomucor (mucoromycotina): a new genus from a cerrado reserve in state of sao paulo, brazil. | during a survey of mucoralean fungi from a cerrado reserve (brazilian savanna) some isolates of a mucor-like fungus were isolated from soil plates. characterization based on morphological, physiological and molecular data from translation elongation factor (ef-1α), 28s (d1/d2) and its1-5.8s-its2 rdna sequences was made. the isolates produce lateral branches bearing multispored sporangiola in addition to the multispored sporangia and a uniformly septate mycelium as the main differentiating charac ... | 2012 | 21933930 |
| [antigenic analysis of cheese mites with view to a study of cheese-makers' illness (author's transl)]. | "somatic" and "metabolic" antigens prepared from a. farinae and t. casei mites in auvergne cheese were used for experimental immunisation: the hyper-immune serums obtained permitted 11 to 21 precipitant systems to be distinguished. an enzymatic activity could be identified on certain arcs. research into antigenic communities showed the existence of 1 to 3 arcs common to the mite antigens, but none with the antigens obtained from the penicillium cyclopium and mucor fuscus moulds accompanying the ... | 2006 | 549176 |
