Molecular biological and biochemical investigations on the biosynthesis of ergot alkaloids in fungi of the families Trichocomaceae and Arthrodermataceae [PDF]
Ergot alkaloids are a complex family of indol derivatives with the typical tetracyclic ergoline ringsystem, which are produced by fungi of two different families, e.g. Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus), from the family Trichocomaceae, and Claviceps purpurea (C. purpurea), from the family Clavicipitaceae.

The occurrence of Trichophytosis among people and cattle on a farm in Vojvodina, Serbia [PDF]
Dermatophytoses are frequent contagious fungal skin diseases that affect the skin of people and animals. Zoophile dermatophytes pose a significant problem for both human and veterinary medicine, and they are especially present among bovines.

Phylogeny of chrysosporia infecting reptiles : proposal of the new family Nannizziopsiaceae and five new species [PDF]
We have performed a phenotypic and phylogenetic study of a set of fungi, mostly of veterinary origin, morphologically similar to the Chrysosporium asexual morph of Nannizziopsis vriesii (Onygenales, Eurotiomycetidae,Eurotiomycetes, Ascomycota).

Dermatophyte fungi of the family Arthrodermataceae (Eurotiomycetes) colonize keratinized tissue, such as skin, frequently causing superficial mycoses in humans and other mammals, reptiles, and birds. Competition with native microflora likely underlies the propensity of these dermatophytes to produce a diversity of antibiotics and compounds for ...
