Aspergillus

They have artificially constructed a Syngonium podophyllum-Aspergillus niger combinate system which absorbs uranium and keeps it in the form of phosphate uranyl and carboxylic uranyl. South Africa at the moment is using a “recycling” system in which acid mine water is used to break down sludge. They are yet to come…

under the brand names Noxafil oral suspension(40mg per mL) and Noxafil 100mg Gastro-resistant tablets [2] from the MSD (Merck Sharp & Dohme Ltd, Hertford Road, Hoddesdon Hertfordshire EN11 9BU United Kingdom)- Used for the Prevention of invasive Aspergillus and Candida infections in severely immune compromised adults and adolescents ≥13 years of age, including hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients with graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and patients with hematologic malignancies and…

this experiment, bacterial and fungal amylase have different optimal temperatures, which suggests that they function in different environments. Bacterial amylase, Bacillus Licheniformis, has an optimal temperature of 55ºC, while fungal amylase, Aspergillus Oryzae, has an optimal temperature between 25ºC and 55ºC, leaning more towards 55ºC. As we can tell from the results, temperature does have an effect on enzyme activity. As predicted, amylase activity increased until it reached its optimum…

Aspergillosis is a fungal infection that can be acute or chronic and effects many domestic birds such as Pekin ducks. It occurs when the ducks inhale the aspergillus spores around them, that normally come from moulds in hay or grain. When ducks are infected with aspergillosis it normally effects the respiratory tract but it can infect any organ. Aspergillosis is normally found in the environment the ducks are living in, soil around them, and their grain. It tends to spread when the temperature…

Janice has returned six weeks since the last appointment. Overall Janice is feeling better with minimal cough present. She does report some nocturnal wheeze and chest tightness and does at time note a slight constricted feeling in the throat. As you would be aware, a recent RAST assay has demonstrated sensitisation to a number of allergens but in particular dust mite. A couple of weeks ago Janice put in place some dust mite minimisation strategies including vigorous cleaning of her…

it takes away mass quantities of oxygen in the ocean, which is need for respiration for many different organisms. Although humans are to blame for many of the world’s problems, in my research with Dr. Smith, I read about a coral disease called Aspergillus. This is a fungus that kills off coral and it comes from the sand of the Sahara Desert being carry via wind patterns to the ocean. This is a big problem because coral reefs have a vast diversity of species that utilize them to survive and is…

of Change in Temperature Conditions on Enzymes Bacillus licheniformis Amylase and Aspergillus oryzae Amylase Over Time ____________________________________ Roxanna Flores PID: 5199946 Lab Section U26 Group Members: Roudabyna Taleb Abstract This laboratory was performed in order to be able to determine the effect of temperature over time on bacterial amylase Bacillus licheniformis and fungal amylase Aspergillus oryzae. Bacterial amylase was introduced into four singular test tubes at…

The mushroom is the most common type of fungi. Fungus is a fascinating organism because it is neither a plant nor animal. In some instances it appears that it has characteristics from both. Most people use to think that mushrooms were close relatives to plants, however they are not producers. This simply means that they do not make their own food. They receive their nutrients from their surroundings. They are labeled as decomposers because they break down their food and return the nutrients to…

Yeast Expression System for Glycoengineering Yeast expression system is an alternative to prokaryotic and higher eukaryotic expression system since it offers the attributes of speedy growth, ease to manipulate genes and low costing media like for microbes along with post translational modification and secretory expression like in higher eukaryotes. An increasing number of yeast strains are available for protein expression that are said to increase the yield of the protein, improves the…

trauma, foreign body in the ear, use of hearing aids, chronic otorrhea, being immunocompromised, and at times, wearing tight head scarves. Common bacterial pathogens that cause AOE are Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, or can be fungal (Aspergillus). Patients inflicted by this illness complains of ear pain, itching, purulent discharge, and some hearing loss. On examination, the ear canal would be erythematous and swollen. Treatment includes analgesics and antibiotics. If the patient is…
