Abstract/Summary
Preview this:
Four yeast strains were isolated from the gut of beetles collected on Baotianman Mountain and People's Park of Nanyang in
Henan Province, China. These strains produced unconjugated asci with one or two ellipsoidal to elongate ascospores in in a persistent ascus.
Phylogenetic analysis of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolates represent two novel
sexual species in the Candida/Lodderomyces clade. Candida baotianmanensis sp. nov. was located in a statistically well-supported branch
together with Candida maltosa. Candida pseudoviswanathii sp. nov. formed a subclade with its closest relative Candida viswanathii
supported by a strong bootstrap value. The two new species were distinguished from their closest described species, C. maltosa and C.
viswanathii, in the D1/D2 LSU rRNA gene and ITS sequences and in phenotypic traits. The type strain of Candida baotianmanensis sp. nov.
is NYNU 14719T (= CICC 33052 T= CBS 13915 T), and the type strain of Candida pseudoviswanathii sp. nov. is NYNU 14772 T (= CICC
33053T= CBS 13916 T).

http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40858-015-0040-x
Abstract/Summary
Bidens pilosa and B. subalternans are highly noxious herbaceous neotropical asteraceous weeds. A survey of fungal pathogens associated
with these two species was undertaken in Brazil, aimed at finding natural enemies in order to establish the potential for introducing novel
specific pathogens from other regions of the world, as classical biological control agents. Ten fungal species were found associated with both
B. pilosa and B. subalternans, namely: Cercospora bidentis, C. maculicola, Entyloma bidentis, E. compositarum, E. guaraniticum,
Neoerysiphe cumminsiana, Plasmopara halstedii, Podosphaera xanthii, Uromyces bidentis, and U. bidenticola. Three other species were
found solely associated only with B. subalternans: Colletotrichum bidentis, Pseudocercosporella bidentis and Sphaceloma bidentis.
Pseudocercosporella bidentis is described herein as new to science.

Abstract/Summary
ABSTRACT: Turfgrasses have been widely used in many residential areas and sport fields for many years.Pythium species can cause severe
losses on cereals and other crops as well as ornamental plants such asturfgrass. To study the role of Pythium species in causing seed and
root rot and damping-off, plant and soilsamples were collected from different regions of Tehran province. Isolates were identified on the
basis ofmorphological characters and cardinal temperature. Pathogenicity of the recovered species was determinedon common cool season
turfgrasses (Loliumperenne, Poaparatensis and Festucaarundinaceae). Of the 48recovered Pythium isolates, three species were identified
include 66.7% P. aphanidermatum, 18.7% P.catenulatum and 14.6% P. okanoganense. Comparative pathogenicity of Pythium species (total
diseases) onturfgrasses showed that P.aphanidermatum was the most aggressive species and P. catenulatum and P.okanoganens were in
second and third levels respectively.

Abstract/Summary
Abstract This paper, based on a recent comprehensive sampling of insects, is the first report of Laboulbeniales from the New England
region since the 1930s. We present 7 new records of laboulbenialean parasites on Staphylinidae (rove beetles) and Coccinellidae (lady
beetles) from the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. These are Clonophoromyces nipponicus Terada & I.I. Tav.,
Hesperomyces virescens Thaxt., Ilyomyces cf. mairei F. Picard, Laboulbenia philonthi Thaxt., Peyritschiella protea Thaxt., Stichomyces
conosomatis Thaxt., and Teratomyces actobii Thaxt. One of these parasite species, C. nipponicus, has not been found previously outside of
its type locality in Japan. Examination of Roland Thaxter's 18911932 slides led to the designation of lectotypes for L. philonthi, P. protea, S.
conosomatis, and T. actobii. The following synonymy is established: Teratomyces brevicaulis Thaxt. = T. actobii. In addition, we discovered
new localities for H. virescens (from Canada, Cuba, Guatemala, and Japan) and L. philonthi (from Canada, Grenada, Panama, Trinidad, and
Venezuela).

Abstract/Summary
Sixteen new lanostane triterpenes, ganoleucoins AP (116), together with 10 known tripterpenes (1726), were isolated from the
cultivated fruiting bodies of Ganoderma leucocontextum, a new member of the Ganoderma lucidum complex. The structures of the new
compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and chemical transformation. The inhibitory effects of 126 on HMG-CoA
reductase and -glucosidase were tested in vitro. Compounds 1, 3, 6, 1014, 17, 18, 23, 25, and 26 showed much stronger inhibitory
activity against HMG-CoA reductase than the positive control atorvastatin. Compounds 13, 14, and 16 presented potent inhibitory activity
against -glucosidase from yeast with IC50 values of 13.6, 2.5, and 5.9 M, respectively. In addition, the cytotoxicity of 126 was evaluated
against the K562 and PC-3 cell lines by the MTT assay. Compounds 1, 2, 6, 7, 10, 12, 16, 18, and 25 exhibited cytotoxicity against K562
cells with IC50 values in the range 1020 M. Paclitaxel was used as the positive control with an IC50 value of 0.9 M. This is the first
report of secondary metabolites from this medicinal mushroom.

URL
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40858-015-0043-7
Abstract/Summary
Rust caused by Puccinia psidii is a serious disease of Eucalyptus and other Myrtaceae. Here we evaluated the pre-penetration processes in
leaves at different phenological stages of a susceptible clone (3918) of Eucalyptus grandis. The first ten leaves, from the tip to the base, on
the apical branch were detached and inoculated with urediniospores. We found a gradual reduction in fungal germination (88 to 39 %),
apressorium formation (78 to 18 %), penetration (69 to 0 %) and sporulation (90 to 0 number of sorus /cm2) with the increase in leaf age.
In addition, thickness and amount of wax was higher in the older leaves. The results of this study suggest that resistance to P. psidii
infection in older Eucalyptus leaves occurs at the pre-penetration stage.

URL
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0031942215300662
Abstract/Summary
Abstract Members of the fungal genus Exophiala are common saprobes in soil and water environments, opportunistic pathogens of animals,
or endophytes in plant roots. Their ecological versatility could imply a capacity to produce diverse secondary metabolites, but only a few
studies have aimed at characterizing their chemical profiles. Here, we assessed the secondary metabolites produced by five Exophiala sp.
strains of a particular phylotype, isolated from roots of Microthlaspi perfoliatum growing in different European localities. Exophillic acid and
two previously undescribed compounds were isolated from these strains, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods
using MS, 1D and 2D NMR. Bioassays revealed a weak activity of these compounds against disease-causing protozoa and mammalian cells.
In addition, 18 related structures were identified by UPLC/MS based on comparisons with the isolated structures. Three Exophiala strains
produced derivatives containing a -d-glucopyranoside moiety, and their colony morphology was distinct from the other two strains, which
produced derivatives lacking -d-glucopyranoside. Whether the chemical/morphological strain types represent variants of the same
genotype or independent genetic populations within Exophiala remains to be evaluated.

Isolation of Chrysosporium guarroi in a Green Iguana (Iguana iguana), in Turkey
Chrysosporium guarroi
BB Kahraman, BD Src, K Metiner, S Ak - Journal of Exotic Pet , 2015 - Elsevier
URL
Abstract/Summary
Abstract A Chrysosporium spp. organism was isolated from a 2-year-old, male green iguana (Iguana iguana). ITS and D1/D2 sequencing
was employed to further identify the organism as Chrysosporium guarroi. Based on sensitivy results from the mycotic isolate collected from
the patient, ketaconozole therapy was initiated along with topical povidone-iodine. The iguana was re-evaluated after a month and new
healthy skin was observed at the affected area. The habitat, origin, transmission, treatment and the primary or secondary role of
Chrysosporium spp. are unknown in iguanas, as well as the zoonotic nature of this microbe. This report describes a pet green iguana
diagnosed with cutaneous mycosis caused by Chrysosporium guarroi in Turkey. As there is relatively little published information describing
Chrysosporium guarroi in reptiles, further studies are required to understand the importance of this pathogen in captive and wild animals.

Abstract/Summary
Abstract This paper describes and illustrates Cantharellus sikkimensis sp.nov. from Abies densa vegetation in the mountains of Sikkim,
India. The new species is phylogenetically placed in subgenus Parvocantharellus and differs from the other species of the same subgenus in
the strong contrast between the dark brown, convex pileus and the yellowish color of all other parts of the fruiting bodies. It is furthermore
characterized by its very long, partly hollowing and downward broadening stipe and by the size of its spores measuring 8911 55.57
m (n= 20, Q = 1.331.642.2 m). Cantharellus umbonatus Deepika, Upadhyay & Reddy 2013 non Pers.: Fr. 1821, nom. inval. is shown
to be unrelated and suggested to be a later synonym of C. pseudoformosus. The systematic position of this species is here corrected as
being member of Cantharellus subg. Cantharellus sect. Amethystini.

Abstract/Summary
Abstract Our screening efforts for new natural products with interesting bioactivity have revealed the neotropical ascomycete Hypoxylon
rickii as a prolific source. We isolated five secondary metabolites with a p-terphenyl backbone from the mycelial extract of a fermentation of
this fungus in 70 l scale by using RP-HPLC, which were named rickenyls AE (15). Their structures were elucidated by X-ray
crystallography and NMR spectroscopy, complemented by HRESIMS. Two of the compounds contained a quinone core structure in ortho (2)
and para-position (5), respectively. We obtained 2 spontaneously and by lead tetraacetate oxidation from 1. All compounds were screened
for antimicrobial, antioxidative and cytotoxic activities. Rickenyl A (1) exhibited strong antioxidative effects and moderate cytotoxic activity
against various cancer cell lines.

http://jcm.asm.org/content/early/2015/08/13/JCM.01564-15.abstract
Abstract/Summary
ABSTRACT This study was aimed at proposing the use of a new rapid and user friendly diagnostic tool for the detection of Macrorhabdus
ornithogaster in birds. The current report focuses on the diagnostic feasibility of different methods, paying particular emphasis on the
application of the Mini-FLOTAC technique for diagnosis of M. ornithogaster. Mini-FLOTAC is particularly tailored for epidemiological
monitoring and surveillance, where large numbers of faecal samples must be rapidly, yet reliably examined. Gram stain as standard method
was used to validate the reliability of Mini-FLOTAC. This tool has not yet been used in avian species nor even in the diagnosis of yeast
infections. In our study M. ornithogaster showed an excellent flotation performance never proved. Our results suggest that Mini-FLOTAC is a
valid, sensitive and potentially low-cost alternative technique to use in the diagnosis of this yeast infections in birds.
