Recent publications have argued that there are potentially serious consequences for researchers in recognising distinct genera the terminal fusarioid clade of family Nectriaceae. Thus, an alternate hypothesis, namely a very broad concept genus Fusarium was proposed. In doing so, however, significant body data supports Nectriaceae based on morphology, biology, and phylogeny is disregarded. A DNA 19 orthologous protein-coding genes presented to support at F1 node Here, we demonstrate...

Fungi and mycotoxins in silage can have detrimental consequences for both cattle human health. This pilot study identified, via the routinary direct plating method, dominant cultivable fungi mouldy grass silages (GS) (n = 19) maize (MS) 28) from Austria. The profiles of regulated, modified, emerging together with other fungal metabolites were analysed LC-(ESI)MS/MS. Penicillium roqueforti, Saccharomyces spp., Geotrichum candidum, Aspergillus fumigatus Monascus ruber most frequent organisms...
Abstract Background HC-toxin, a cyclic tetrapeptide, is virulence determinant for the plant pathogenic fungus Cochliobolus carbonum . It was recently discovered that another fungus, Alternaria jesenskae , also produces HC-toxin. Results The major genes (collectively known as AjTOX2 ) involved in biosynthesis of HC-toxin were identified from A. by genomic sequencing. encoded orthologous proteins share 75-85% amino acid identity, and are duplicated both fungi. organization two fungi show...
The aim of this in vitro study was to examine the secretion activity, markers proliferation and apoptosis porcine ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) after deoxynivalenol (DON) addition. Ovarian were incubated with DON for 24h: 10, 100 1000 ng/mL, while control group received no DON. insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) progesterone determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA) expression cyclin B1, PCNA caspase-3 immunocytochemistry. IGF-I release GCs inhibited DON, B1 stimulated (at ng/mL but not at 10...
Fusarium is a genus that mostly consists of plant pathogenic fungi which are able to produce broad range toxic secondary metabolites. In this study, we focus on type A trichothecene-producing isolate (15-39) sporotrichioides from Lower Austria. We assessed the metabolite profile and optimized toxin production conditions autoclaved rice found in addition large amounts T-2 HT-2 toxins, strain was HT-2-glucoside. The optimal for toxin, HT-2-glucoside were incubation at 12 °C under constant...
Abstract Four new Keratinophyton species ( Ascomycota , Pezizomycotina Onygenales ), K. gollerae lemmensii straussii, and wagneri isolated from soil samples originating Europe (Austria, Italy, Slovakia) are described illustrated. The taxa well supported by phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) region, combined data ITS nuclear large subunit (LSU) rDNA, their phenotype. Based on phylogeny, within clade, K . is clustered with durum, hubeiense submersum,...
A new species, Saksenaea dorisiae (Mucoromycotina, Mucorales), isolated from a water sample originating private well in Manastirica, Petrovac, the Republic of Serbia (Europe), is described and illustrated. The taxon supported by multilocus phylogenetic analysis that included internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, domains D1 D2 28S rRNA gene (LSU), translation elongation factor-1α (tef-1α), it resolved clade with S. oblongispora trapezispora. This fungus characterized its moderately slow...

Abstract Co‐culturing the bacterium Streptomyces rapamycinicus and ascomycete Aspergillus nidulans has previously been shown to trigger production of orsellinic acid (ORS) its derivates in fungal cells. Based on these studies it was assumed that direct physical contact is a prerequisite for metabolic reaction involves amino starvation response activating chromatin modifications at biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). Here we show not contact, but guanidine containing macrolide, named polaramycin...
