Abstract:
... Biodeterioration is an inevitable degradation inflicted to the soil of buildings by microbial colonisation. Due to their tremendous enzymatic behaviour and their capacity to cultivate fungi, sculptures, cement and other items used for ancient works of art may be occupied and decayed. Culture-independent techniques have been utilized globally today, and microbial work that focuses entirely on appro ...

Abstract:
... This work screened out the optimal conditions for pretreatment of natural lignocellulose with inorganic salts and provided a simple, easy-to-operate, low-cost, clean and efficient pretreatment method for the efficient degradation of natural lignocellulose by strains. The results showed that the optimal pretreatment inorganic salt was FeCl₂ with a concentration of 11%, pretreatment at 60 °C for 48 ...

Abstract:
... Background: Sterols are the main components of fungal membranes. Inhibiting their biosynthesis is the mode of action of azole antifungal drugs that are widely used to treat fungal disease including aspergillosis. Azole resistance has emerged as a matter of concern but little is known about sterols biosynthesis in azole resistant Aspergillus fumigatus. Methods: We explored the sterol composition of ...

Abstract:
... SreA has been identified as a GATA-type transcription factor that represses iron uptake to avoid iron excess during iron sufficiency. However, knowledge about whether SreA also affects the homeostasis of other divalent metal ions is limited. In this study, by screening Aspergillus fumigatus transcription factor deletion mutant libraries, we demonstrate that the sreA deletion mutant shows the great ...

Abstract:
... We present a case of a 55-year-old man with a heart transplant who acquired Invasive Aspergillosis by Aspergillus fumigatus with the focus in the kidney. During about two years of antifungal treatment, most of the time with voriconazole, it was possible to obtain nine isolates of A. fumigatus, with the same genotypic characteristics, but with an increase in MIC for several azoles. The two last iso ...

Abstract:
... The emergence and spread of azole resistance alleles in clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus is a global human health concern and endangers the “One Health” approach in our fight against antifungal resistance (AFR) in this pathogen. A major challenge to combat AFR in A. fumigatus is the massive aerial dispersal ability of its asexual spores. Our recent fine-scale survey of ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: In dogs with sinonasal aspergillosis (SNA) the utility of PCR in the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease after treatment has not been assessed. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the presence of fungal DNA using quantitative PCR targeting Aspergillus fumigatus (Aspfum) and Aspergillus spp. (PanAsp), and PCR targeting multiple fungal species (PanFun), in samples obtained from nasal cavities of ...
... Xylan composition from six different bmr sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) biomasses (Atlas 12, BN 612, Atlas 3986, IS 27333, Atlas N598 & IS 27206) with variable lignin content were analyzed for their structure and evaluated as a substrate for xylanase complex production using Aspergillus fumigatus RSP-8. Chemical compositional analysis of xylans revealed that all the xylans belong to arabinoxylan (AX ...
... Chitooligosaccharides (COSs) with relatively higher degrees of polymerization (DP) exhibited better biological properties than COSs with lower DP. Here, we demonstrated a potential strategy to enhance the affinity, activity, and thermostability of the chitosanase Csn75 from Aspergillus fumigatus CJ22-326 through fusion of a carbohydrate binding module (CBM) that can specifically bind to chitosan. ...

... Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important airborne fungal pathogen and allergen of humans causing high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The factors that govern pathogenicity of this organism are multi-factorial and are poorly understood. Molecular tools to dissect the mechanisms of pathogenicity in A. fumigatus have improved significantly over the last 20 years however many procedures have not ...
... In the present study, 15 fungal isolates were found. The antagonistic potential of seven of these, including Trichoderma harzianum, T. viride, T. virens, Aspergillus fumigatus, A. niger, Aspergillus sp., and Drechslera triseptata were proved under in vitro and greenhouse conditions. In the dual culture method, T. virens and T. viride (65.51%), in the volatile compounds method, T. harzianum (66.66% ...

Abstract:
... Aspergillosis remains a difficult disease to diagnose antemortem in many species, especially avian species. In the present study, banked plasma samples from various avian species were examined for gliotoxin (GT), which is a recognized key virulence factor produced during the replication of Aspergillus species hyphae and a secondary metabolite bis(methyl)gliotoxin (bmGT). Initially, liquid chromato ...

... Sixty dairy goats of the Polish white improved breed were randomly assigned to five feeding groups of twelve animals each. The animals received a supplement containing seven herbs at 20 or 40 g/animal/day (experimental groups 1 and 2) and a supplement containing nine herbs at 20 or 40 g/animal/day (experimental groups 3 and 4)m, along with pelleted concentrate feed. Group 5 (the control group) rec ...
... Raw starch glucoamylase (RSGA) can degrade the raw starch below the starch gelatinization temperature. In this study, to improve the catalytic activity of raw corn starch, N-glycosylation was introduced into the RSGA from Aspergillus fumigatus through site-directed mutation and the recombinant expression in Komagataella phaffii. Among them, the mutants G101S (N99-L100-S101) and Q113T (N111-S112-T1 ...
