Necrotizing Pneumonia Caused by Penicillium chrysogenum [PDF]
We report a case of necrotizing pneumonia due to Penicillium chrysogenum in a 57-year-old woman operated on for lung cancer. The residual right lower pulmonary lobe was infiltrated by Penicillium chrysogenum. The patient underwent a second pulmonary right lobectomy and was successfully treated with oral itraconazole. To our knowledge, this is the first

Antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract of Penicillium chrysogenum and Penicillium fumiculosum [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the biological and chemical activity on two species of fungi of the genus Penicillium isolated from wastewater. On the selected species of fungi the different antioxidant activity assays were carried out:

Haploidization Analysis in Penicillium chrysogenum [PDF]
SUMMARY: Results relevant to the problem of increasing penicillin yield in Penicillium chrysogenum by recombination through the parasexual cycle are discussed. Sister strains differing from each other in few mutational steps have been used to construct a map with three haploidization groups.

Peroxisomal Proteostasis Involves a Lon Family Protein That Functions as Protease and Chaperone [PDF]
Proteins are subject to continuous quality control for optimal proteostasis. The knowledge of peroxisome quality control systems is still in its infancy. Here we show that peroxisomes contain a member of the Lon family of proteases (Pln).

ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Chrysoviridae [PDF]
The Chrysoviridae is a family of small, isometric, non-enveloped viruses (40 nm in diameter) with segmented dsRNA genomes (typically four segments). The genome segments are individually encapsidated and together comprise 11.5–12.8 kbp.
