Potential of Microbial Diversity of Coastal Sand Dunes: Need for Exploration in Odisha Coast of India

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Coastal sand dunes are hips and strips formed by sand particles which are eroded and ground rock, derived from terrestrial and oceanic sources. This is considered as a specialized ecosystem characterized by conditions which are hostile for life forms like high salt, low moisture, and low organic matter content.

Characterization of a Halotolerant Fungus from a Marine Sponge

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Introduction. Marine sponges have established symbiotic interactions with a large number of microorganisms including fungi. Most of the studies so far have focussed on the characterization of sponge‐associated bacteria and archaea with only a few reports on sponge‐associated fungi.

Microbial diversity in biodeteriorated Greek historical documents dating back to the 19th and 20th century: A case study

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2018., 2018
In this study, for the first time, the fungal and bacterial diversity in biodeteriorated paper documents of Hellenic General State Archives dating back to the 19th and 20th century has been assessed by culture‐dependent and independent methods. Abstract Paper documents in archives, libraries, and museums often undergo biodeterioration by microorganisms.

Aspergillus 6V4, a Strain Isolated from Manipueira, Produces High Amylases Levels by Using Wheat Bran as a Substrate

Enzyme Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The aim of this study was screening fungi strains, isolated from manipueira (a liquid subproduct obtained from the flour production of Manihot esculenta), for amylases production and investigating production of these enzymes by the strain Aspergillus 6V4. The fungi isolated from manipueira belonged to Ascomycota phylum.

Mycoflora and Natural Incidence of Selected Mycotoxins in Rabbit and Chinchilla Feeds

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi that cause a toxic response when ingested by animals or man. Demand of natural fur, such as those from rabbit and chinchilla, produced under controlled conditions, has increased worldwide. The toxicogenic mycoflora contaminating feeds for these animals was enumerated and identified. Six

Isolation and Identification of Endophytic Fungi from Actinidia macrosperma and Investigation of Their Bioactivities

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Endophytic fungi from the Chinese medicinal plant Actinidia macrosperma were isolated and identified for the first time. This was the first study to evaluate their cytotoxic and antitumour activities against brine shrimp and five types of tumour cells, respectively. In total, 17 fungal isolates were obtained.

Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Facultative Anaerobic Filamentous Fungus from Japanese Rice Field Soil

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
A novel filamentous fungus strain designated RB‐1 was isolated into pure culture from Japanese rice field soil through an anaerobic role tube technique. The strain is a mitosporic fungus that grows in both aerobic and strict anaerobic conditions using various mono‐, di‐, tri‐, and polysaccharides with acetate and ethanol productions.
