The zoophilic dermatophyte species Microsporum canis belongs to the Arthroderma otae complex and is known mate with tester strains of that teleomorph species, at least in laboratory. Human infections are likely be acquired from fur cats, dogs horses. Epidemiological studies reveal sources routes infection have been hampered by a lack polymorphic molecular markers. cases mainly concern moderately inflammatory tinea corporis capitis, but, as highly ringworm also observed, question arises...
Soda lake is hyper alkaline and saline habitat located in closed craters with high evaporation rate. In current study fungal diversity from water sediment samples of a soda (Lonar lake) Buldhana district Maharashtra, India was investigated using extensive culturomics approach mimicking the natural conditions Lonar culture media. A total 104 diverse isolates extremophilic fungi were recovered this phylogenetically characterized by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region sequencing. addition,...
Abstract Arthroderma is the most diverse genus among dermatophytes encompassing species occurring in soil, caves, animal burrows, clinical material and other environments. In this study, we collected ex-type, reference authentic strains of all currently accepted generated sequences three highly variable loci (ITS rDNA, β-tubulin, translation elongation factor 1-α). The number was expanded to 27. One novel species, A. melbournense (ex-type strain CCF 6162T = CBS 145858T), described. This...
A survey was conducted from1999 to 2003 as part of a microbial biodiversity study on geophilic and keratinophilic fungi in central India. Among the recovered were 82 isolates belonging dermatophyte genus Microsporum. Species provisionally identified by morphology confirmed PCR-RFLP sequencing ITS regions rDNA. Microsporum persicolor appeared be preponderant Indian soils, outnumbering common species fulvum gypseum. Three dinucleotide microsatellite markers developed their use revealed immense...
An interesting onygenalean ascomycete was isolated from soil collected a hollow tree near Bandhavgarh National Park situated in central India. The keratinophilic nature associated with malbranchea-like asexual morph, appendaged mesh-like reticuloperidia, and subglobose to oblate, punctate ascospores, support the inclusion of this isolate Onygenaceae. Further, pale cream ascomata, swollen septa peridial hyphae suggested that new species Auxarthron. However, phylogenetic study LSU, SSU ITS...
The acidification of the oceans could potentially alter marine plankton communities with consequences for ecosystem functioning. While several studies have investigated effects ocean on using traditional methods, few used genetic analyses. Here, we use community barcoding to assess impact composition a coastal in large scale, situ, long-term mesocosm experiment. High-throughput sequencing resulted identification wide range planktonic taxa (Alveolata, Cryptophyta, Haptophyceae, Fungi,...
A new species, Gymnoascus verrucosus sp. nov., isolated from soil Kalyan railway station, Maharashtra, India, is described and illustrated. The distinctive morphological features of this taxon are its verruculose ascospores (ornamentation visible only under SEM) deer antler-shaped short peridial appendages. small appendages originate open mesh-like gymnothecial ascomata made up thick-walled, smooth hyphae. characteristic morphology the fungus not formed in culture where it has very...
During a collecting trip exploring new habitats and locations for keratinophilic fungi, soil samples were collected from Bohani village in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Following isolation using hair baiting technique, one sample yielded an interesting hyphomycetous fungus. The fungus, which could easily be observed under dissecting microscope, formed prominently large, dark brown to opaque, fusoid conidia on horse after 2 mo incubation. Single-conidial colonies cultivated...
Malaria parasites use an extensive secretory pathway to export a number of proteins remodel the host cells. It is involved in trafficking many crucial for parasite's survival. Despite presence classical intricacies it still remain elusive. The Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) nerve center and different organelles outside parasite. In higher eukaryotes, ER membrane bound transcription factors such as SREBP are reported get processed en route migrate nucleus under influence specific cues. However,...
