funbarRF: DNA barcode-based fungal species prediction using multiclass Random Forest supervised learning model.

BMC genetics
BACKGROUND: Identification of unknown fungal species aids to the conservation of fungal diversity. As many fungal species cannot be cultured, morphological identification of those species is almost impossible. But, DNA barcoding technique can be empl...

Antifungal activity of the essential oils of some medicinal plants against human and plant fungal pathogens.

Cellular and molecular biology (Noisy-le-Grand, France)
The present study was conducted to assess the antifungal activity of essential oils of medicinal plants Mentha piperita (peppermint), Foeniculum vulgare, Satureja hortensis (Savory), Ferula asafoetida and Cuminum cyminum against Alternaria sp., Bipol...

Gradients of three coastal environments off the South China Sea and their impacts on the dynamics of heterotrophic microbial communities.

The Science of the total environment
Heterotrophic fungus-like marine protists are recognized to contribute significantly to the coastal carbon cycling largely due to their high biomass and ability to decompose recalcitrant organic matter. Yet, little is known about their dynamics at po...

Rapid Rule Out of Culture-Negative Bloodstream Infections by Use of a Novel Approach to Universal Detection of Bacteria and Fungi.

The journal of applied laboratory medicine
BACKGROUND: Currently it can take up to 5 days to rule out bloodstream infection. With the low yield of blood cultures (approximately 10%), a significant number of patients are potentially exposed to inappropriate therapy that can lead to adverse eve...

Inhibition of in vitro trichothecenes production by microalgae phenolic extracts.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
There is evidence that microalgae phenolic compounds can inhibit the growth of toxigenic fungi. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of microalgae phenolic extracts to inhibit trichothecene production by Fusarium genus and thereby identify parame...

A Fungus Spores Dataset and a Convolutional Neural Network Based Approach for Fungus Detection.

IEEE transactions on nanobioscience
Fungus is enormously notorious for food, human health, and archives. Fungus sign and symptoms in medical science are non-specific and asymmetrical for extremely large areas resulting into a challenging task of fungal detection. Various traditional an...

Abundance and Species Diversity of Fungi in Rivers with Various Contaminations.

Current microbiology
The main objective of this work was to determine the abundance and species diversity of fungi in the waters of selected rivers of Central Europe, NE Poland (Augustów Lakeland), differing in size, physical and chemical properties, and streamflow rate....

An evidence of C16 fatty acid methyl esters extracted from microalga for effective antimicrobial and antioxidant property.

Microbial pathogenesis
Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) derived from lipids of microalgae is known to have wide bio-functional materials including antimicrobials. FAME is an ideal super-curator and superior anti-pathogenic. The present study evaluated the efficiency of FAME...

The use of marine-derived fungi for preparation of enantiomerically pure alcohols.

Applied microbiology and biotechnology
A highly enantioselective and minimally polluting approach to optically pure chiral alcohols is developed using cheap, readily available and sustainable marine-derived fungi as catalysts. An evaluation of the synthetic potential of 13 Chinese marine ...

Catalytic Properties of Amylolytic Enzymes Produced by Using Agroindustrial Residues on Solid-State Fermentation.

BioMed research international
Amylases catalyze the hydrolysis of starch, a vegetable polysaccharide abundant in nature. These enzymes can be utilized in the production of syrups, alcohol, detergent, pharmaceutical products, and animal feed formulations. The aim of this study was...
