Recent advancements in the biosynthetic mechanisms for polyketide-derived mycotoxins.
Justin J Huffman, Ryan R Gerber and Liangcheng L Du
Abstract
Polyketides (PKs) are a large group of natural products produced by microorganisms and plants. They are biopolymers of acetate and other short carboxylates and are biosynthesized by multifunctional enzymes called polyketide synthases (PKSs). This review discusses the biosynthesis of four toxic PK, af... | PMID: 20578001

I M Vasconcelos, J K S Morais, E A Siebra, C R Carlini, D O B Sousa, L M Beltramini, V M M Melo and J T A Oliveira
Abstract
SBTX, a novel toxin from soybean, was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by chromatographic steps DEAE-Cellulose, CM-Sepharose and Superdex 200 HR fast-protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). Lethality of SBTX to mice (LD(50) 5.6 mg/kg) was used as parameter in the purification steps.... | PMID: 18328522

[Medical relevance of mycotoxins]
H Hof
Abstract
There are many mycotoxins with different chemical structures and biological activities. They are present in many food items of vegetable and animal origin as well as in the air. Consequently the exposure of humans to these agents is rather common. In some particular instances the dosage taken up by... | PMID: 18461529

Oxacyclododecindione, a novel inhibitor of IL-4 signaling from Exserohilum rostratum.
Gerhard Erkel, Hanane Belahmer, Annegret Serwe, Timm Anke, Horst Kunz, Heinz Kolshorn, Johannes Liermann and Till Opatz
Abstract
In a screening program for new metabolites from fungi inhibiting the IL-4 mediated signal transduction, a novel chlorinated macrocyclic lactone, designated as oxacyclododecindione, was isolated from fermentations of the imperfect fungus Exserohilum rostratum. The structure was determined by a combin... | PMID: 18653993

Synergistic interactions between chitinase ChiCW and fungicides against plant fungal pathogens.
Chien-Jui CJ Huang and Chao-Ying CY Chen
Abstract
Antifungal activity of ChiCW and synergistic interactions between ChiCW with fungicides were investigated. Conidial germinations of phytopathogenic fungi, Alternaria brassicicola, Botrytis elliptica, and Colletotrichum gloeoporioides, were inhibited by ChiCW but A. longipes was not. In addition, Chi... | PMID: 18467877

[Arthrographis kalrae--an uncommon causative agent of onychomycosis].
A A Volleková, M M Lisalová and M M Poczová
Abstract
At a routine examination, multiple colonies of hyphomycetes of uncommon morphology were isolated from two patients with clinically suspected mycosis of the big toes (and confirmed microscopically by the presence of fragmented/thin hyphae). Based on the detailed study of the morphological and physiol... | PMID: 18578410

Differential high-affinity interaction of dectin-1 with natural or synthetic glucans is dependent upon primary structure and is influenced by polymer chain length and side-chain branching.
Elizabeth L Adams, Peter J Rice, Bridget Graves, Harry E Ensley, Hai Yu, Gordon D Brown, Siamon Gordon, Mario A Monteiro, Erzsebet Papp-Szabo, Douglas W Lowman, Trevor D Power, Michael F Wempe and David L Williams
Abstract
We examined the effect of glucan structure on recognition and binding by murine recombinant Dectin-1 with a library of natural product and synthetic (1-->3)-beta/(1-->6)-beta-glucans as well as nonglucan polymers. Dectin-1 is highly specific for glucans with a pure (1-->3)-beta-linked backbone struc... | PMID: 18171906

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the crude extract of the twigs of Dorstenia barteri (DBT) as well as that of four of the five flavonoids isolated from this extract. Gram-positive bacteria (six species), Gram-negative bacteria (12 species) and fungi (four species)... | PMID: 18280679

Survival and growth of foodborne microorganisms in processed and individually wrapped cheese slices.
Richard H RH Linton and Nigel N Harper
Abstract
The objectives of the research reported here were to determine the growth, survival, or inactivation of selected microorganisms on individually wrapped processed cheese (IWC) slices stored at 5 degrees C and 22 degrees C, and to compare quality indices. IWC slices were spot-inoculated with foodborne... | PMID: 18348389

Abstract
Onychomycosis (40.3%) was the most frequent infection, followed by tinea capitis (21.9%), tinea pedis (16%), tinea cruris (15.1%), and tinea corporis (6.7%). Tinea capitis was most prevalent (15.1%) in children (male to female ratio, 1 : 1.57), whereas tinea pedis was most common (11.8%) in adults (... | PMID: 18289321
