1. Biotechnological potential of alternative carbon sources for production of pectinases by Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis
Fungi collected from Brazilian soil and decomposing plants were screened for pectinase production. R. microsporus var. rhizopodiformis was the best producer and was selected to evaluate the pectic enzyme production under several nutritional and environmental conditions. The pectinase production was studied at 40ºC, under 28 carbon sources-supplemented mediu

2. Otimização das condições de cultivo de Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis para a produção, isolamento e identificação de metabólitos com atividade antimicrobiana / Otimization of the conditions of cultivation of Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis for the production, isolation and identification of metabólites with antimicrobial activity
The fungus Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis was cultivated in different fermentative media aiming to produce secondary metabolites bearing antimicrobial activity. The conidia storage in silica gel was incubated in oat medium for conidia production. After seven days the conidia (4 x 106 conidia/mL) was transferred to a pre-fermentative medium and inc

3. Seleção de fungos filamentosos para a produção de enzimas de interesse biotecnológico
Muitas enzimas produzidas por fungos têm relevantes aplicações em diferentes áreas industriais. O objetivo desse trabalho foi coletar e isolar fungos filamentosos do solo e humus, plantas e bagaço de cana de açúcar de diferentes regiões do Estado de São Paulo. Quarenta isolados foram examinados quanto à sua capacidade de produzir xilanase, glicose-

4. Rhizopus rhizopodiformis: emerging etiological agent of mucormycosis.
Mucormycosis is caused principally by members of the genus Rhizopus, especially R arrhizus and R. oryzae. Infection attributable to R. rhizopodiformis has rarely been documented. Of 13 cases of mucormycosis diagnosed during a 4-year period (1974 to 1978) at The Mount Sinai Hospital, 6 cases, occurring within 9 months, were caused by R. rhizopodiformis. The s

5. Wooden sticks as the source of a pseudoepidemic of infection with Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis among immunocompromised patients.
Wooden sticks used to suspend feces obtained for surveillance cultures were found to be the source of Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis causing a pseudo-outbreak among 17 immunocompromised patients cared for in three different wards. Nonsterile wooden products should therefore not be used for collecting, handling, and processing specimens for microbi

6. Inguinal abscess caused by Rhizopus rhizopodiformis: successful treatment with surgery and amphotericin B.
Rhizopus rhizopodiformis has seldom been isolated from human mucormycosis. We report the first subcutaneous abscess to be caused by this fungus. It occurred in a diabetic man and presented as an inguinal mass, suggestive of a hernia, superficial to his cadaveric renal transplant. The fungus was readily isolated from pus inoculated onto blood and chocolate ag

7. Separation of Fungal Propagules by Partition in Aqueous Polymer Two-Phase Systems
Conidia of Penicillium chrysogenum and Penicillium frequentans and sporangiospores of Rhizopus rhizopodiformis, Rhizomucor pusillus, and Mucor racemosus were subjected to partition in aqueous polymer two-phase systems. The partition behavior differed drastically between the conidia of the two Penicillium species and the sporangiospores of the three species o

8. Factors affecting production of mold mycelium and protein in synthetic media.
The effects of certain cultural conditions on the yield of dry mycelium, protein, and total amino acid content of Rhizopus oligosporus Saito (NRRL 2710), Rhizopus rhizopodiformis (Cohn apud Lichtheim) Zopf (NRRL 6246), and Absidia corymbifera (Cohn) Sacc. et Trotter (NRRL 6247) were studied. The yield of mycelium was found to significantly increase as the sp

9. Separation of organic dust from microorganism suspensions by partitioning in aqueous polymer two-phase systems.
Conidia of Penicillium brevi-compactum and Aspergillus fumigatus, sporangiospores of Rhizopus rhizopodiformis, spores of Streptomyces griseus, and bacterial cells of Bacillus subtilis were partitioned in two-phase systems consisting of dextran, polyethylene glycol, substituted positively charged sulfonylpolyethylene glycol, and water. At a pH of 2.8 in the s

10. New, special stain for histopathological diagnosis of cryptococcosis.
The Masson-Fontana silver stain for melanin was employed for the differentiation of pathogenic fungal species in human or mouse tissues. The fungi studied were Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata (Torulopsis glabrata), Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus bacillisporus, Coccidioides immitis, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Histoplasma capsulatu
