Complement, but Not Platelets, Plays a Pivotal Role in the Outcome of Mucormycosis In Vivo

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Background: Mucormycetes, a heterogeneous group of fungi, induce a life-threatening disease called mucormycosis. Immune deficiencies represent a major risk factor; hence, we wanted to illuminate the role of complement and platelets in the defense against

Fungal Biomarkers in Traditional Starter Determine the Chemical Characteristics of Turbid Rice Wine from the Rim of the Sichuan Basin, China

Foods, 2023
The fungal community in Qu plays a key role in the formation of turbid rice wine (TRW) style. The Sichuan Basin and its surrounding areas have become one of the main TRW production regions in China; however, the fungal community in Qu and how they affect

The Emergence of Mucormycosis in Free-Ranging Marine Mammals of the Pacific Northwest

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Primary fungal diseases in marine mammals are rare. Mucormycosis, a disease caused by fungi of the order Mucorales, has been documented in few cetaceans and pinnipeds.

Fungal Load and Composition in Residential Air Conditioners Recontaminated 1 Year After Cleaning

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background and Objective Allergic fungal airway diseases caused by environmental fungal exposure are often difficult to manage with medical therapy alone. We performed a pilot study to investigate fungal load and diversity recontaminating ductless minisplit air conditioners (ACs) within 1 year of high‐pressure washing.

Identification of Filamentous Fungi: An Evaluation of Three MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry Systems

Mycoses, Volume 68, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Identification of filamentous fungi still poses a major challenge to laboratories. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) is a promising tool, since it offers low‐cost and fast results. Different MALDI‐TOF MS systems are available for routine laboratories.

Physicochemical properties of a novel α-L-arabinofuranosidase fromRhizomucor pusillusHHT-1

, 2001
The zygomycete fungus Rhizomucor pusillus HHT-1, cultured on L(+)arabinose as a sole carbon source, produced extracellular α-L-arabinofuranosidase. The enzyme was purified by (NH4)2SO4fractionation, gel filtration, and ion exchange chromatography.

Extremophilic Microorganisms as a Source of Emerging Enzymes for the Food Industry: A Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
Enzymes such as amylases, lipases, proteases, xylanases, laccases, pullulanase, chitinases, pectinases, esterases, isomerases, and dehydrogenases could be derived from extremophilic organisms like thermophiles, psychrophiles, acidophiles, alkaliphiles, and halophiles. These enzymes or extremozymes are applicable in the production of safe foods (such as
