13. Dichloran-rose bengal medium for enumeration and isolation of molds from foods.
Overgrowth by spreading molds such as Rhizopus and Mucor species is a problem with fungal enumeration media used for foods. Thirty-one antifungal compounds were surveyed for their ability to selectively inhibit such fungi while allowing growth of mycotoxigenic molds and other species of significance in food spoilage. Dichloran (2,6 dichloro-4-nitroaniline) r

14. Cross-reactions of polysaccharides of fungi, molds, and yeasts in anti-pneumococcal and other antisera.
Cross-reactions of a number of glycans and polysaccharides isolated from fungi, molds, and yeasts in anti-pneumococcal and other antisera are tabulated and discussed insofar as possible with relation to the chemical structures of the cross-precipitating substances and the polysaccharidic antigens giving rise to the reactive antibodies. For example, the slime

15. Incidence of Molds on Pecan Nuts at Different Points During Harvesting
Pecan nuts were selected at various points during routine harvesting, and nutmeats were analyzed for gross and internal fungal contamination and for the presence of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Fungi were isolated from a large percentage of the nutmeats at all points of examination. No correlations could be made between increased incidence of fungi

16. In vitro evaluation of voriconazole against some clinically important fungi.
Voriconazole was compared to amphotericin B, fluconazole, and itraconazole by using an in vitro macrobroth dilution test based upon current National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards tentative standards against the dimorphic fungi and several opportunistic molds and yeasts. In all instances, the voriconazole MICs were lower than those of fluconazol

17. Development of Reverse Transcription (RT)-PCR and Real-Time RT-PCR Assays for Rapid Detection and Quantification of Viable Yeasts and Molds Contaminating Yogurts and Pasteurized Food Products
Reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time RT-PCR assays have been used to detect and quantify actin mRNA from yeasts and molds. Universal primers were designed based on the available fungal actin sequences, and by RT-PCR they amplified a specific 353-bp fragment from fungal species involved in food spoilage. From experiments on heat-treated cells, act

18. Molds on vegetables at the time of harvest.
The mean numbers of colony-forming units of molds present on vegetables at the time of harvest were in the range of 4.2 X 10(3) to 6.7 X 10(3)/g for all vegetables except cucurbits and asparagus. The numbers were not influenced by cultivars within species, duration of the growing season, distant separation of the growing fields, or elevation above ground. Nu

19. Comparison of the Semisolid Agar Antifungal Susceptibility Test with the NCCLS M38-P Broth Microdilution Test for Screening of Filamentous Fungi
Antifungal susceptibility testing of pathogenic molds is being developed. A simple screening semisolid agar antifungal susceptibility (SAAS) test accurately measures susceptibilities of yeasts. The performance of the SAAS screening test for filamentous fungi was assessed by comparing MICs of four antifungals (amphotericin B [AMB], AMB lipid complex [ABEL], i

21. Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa)
The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group. Ribosomal RNA trees show the myxogastrid and dictyostelid slime molds as unrelated early branching lineages, but actin and β-tubulin trees

22. Comparison of the E-test with the NCCLS M38-P Method for Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Common and Emerging Pathogenic Filamentous Fungi
The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M38-P method describes standard parameters for testing the fungistatic antifungal activities (MICs) of established agents against filamentous fungi (molds). The present study evaluated the in vitro fungistatic activities of itraconazole and amphotericin B by the E-test and the NCCLS M38-P micro

23. Volatile Flavor Compounds Produced by Molds of Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fungi imperfecti
Strains of molds Aspergillus niger, A. ochraceus, A. oryzae, A. parasiticus, Penicillium chrysogenum, P. citrinum, P. funiculosum, P. raistrickii, P. viridicatum, Alternaria, Cephalosporium, and Fusarium sp. were grown on sterile coarse wheat meal at 26 to 28 C for 120 h. The volatiles from mature cultures were distilled at low temperature under reduced pres

24. Antimicrobial Properties of Natural Phenols and Related Compounds: I. Obtusastyrene
Obtusastyrene (4-cinnamylphenol) displays effective antimicrobial activity in vitro against a variety of gram-positive bacteria, yeasts, and molds. The activity of obtusastyrene is not appreciably affected by pH, and its minimal inhibitory concentrations, 12 to 25 μg/ml for bacteria and 12 to 100 μg/ml for fungi, compare favorably with those of a number of
