Alternaria alternata infection associated osteomyelitis of maxilla: A rare disease entity

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2013
Alternaria alternata is one of the rarest fungi associated with paranasal sinusitis. Alternaria species are pigmented (also known as dematiaceous or phaeoid) filamentous fungi, which are well-known soil saprophytes and plant pathogens that infrequently ...

Growth model for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

, 2007
In order to quantify the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to plant phosphorus nutrition, the development and extent of the external fungal mycelium and its nutrient uptake capacity are of particular importance.

The Distinction between Dematiaceous Molds and Non-Dematiaceous Fungi in Clinical and Spiked Samples Treated with Hydrogen Peroxide Using Direct Fluorescence Microscopy

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Dematiaceous fungi are pigmented molds with a high content of melanin in their cell walls that can cause fatal infections in immunocompromised hosts. Direct microscopy is the main method for the rapid diagnosis of dematiaceous fungi in clinical specimens.

Production and chemical characterization of pigments in filamentous fungi

Microbiology, 2016
Production of pigments by filamentous fungi is gaining interest owing to their use as food colourants, in cosmetics and textiles, and because of the important biological activities of these compounds. In this context, the objectives of this study were to select pigment-producing fungi, identify these fungi based on internal transcribed spacer sequences,

Distribution of melanopsin positive neurons in pigmented and albino mice: evidence for melanopsin interneurons in the mouse retina. [PDF]

, 2014
Here we have studied the population of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in adult pigmented and albino mice. Our data show that although pigmented (C57Bl/6) and albino (Swiss) mice have a similar total number of ipRGCs, their ...

Investigation of growth responses in saprophytic fungi to charred biomass [PDF]

, 2010
We present the results of a study testing the response of two saprophytic white-rot fungi species, Pleurotus pulmonarius and Coriolus versicolor, to charred biomass (charcoal) as a growth substrate.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...
