Bommerella
''Chaetomium'' is a genus of fungi in the Chaetomiaceae family. It is a dematiaceous (dark-walled) mold normally found in soil, air, cellulose and plant debris. According to the ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008), there are about 95 species in the widespread genus. In 1817 Gustav Kunze established the genus ''Chaetomium'' (the plume of the helmet) to classify the species ''C. globosum'' and ''C. elatum''. No further contributions to the genus were made until 1837 when the publication of Corda described its characteristic asci in his work, ''Icones Fungorum Hucusque Cognitorum''. In 1915, Arthur Houston Chivers produced a complete monographic treatment of the genus, recognizing only 28 of the described 114 species. Members of this genus typically have superficial, ostiolar perithecia, covered in hairs. Asci are often clavate and evanescent, bearing eight spores. Ascospores are usually lemon-shaped, commonly colored olive-brown. Mycelia often grows in conglome ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chaetomiaceae
The Chaetomiaceae (Index Fungorum number: IF80582) are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota, order Sordariales, class Sordariomycetes. Chaetomiaceae are usually saprobic or parasitic. Cheatomiaceae are a great source of enzymes with diverse biotechnological and industrial applications such as PMO (polysaccharide monooxygenase), L-methioninase, β-1,3-glucanase, laccase, dextranase, lipolytic, pectinolytic, amylolytic, chitinolytic, and proteolytic enzymes. The production of such compounds can be taken into account as candidates for the development of effective and novel lead compounds for medicine, biological control and production of bioactive secondary metabolites. Chaetomiaceae furthermore contains some of the most well known thermophilic fungi, an interesting feature carrying many biological applications, but that is found only in few fungal genera.

Gustav Kunze
Gustav Kunze (4 October 1793, Leipzig – 30 April 1851, Leipzig) was a German professor of zoology, an entomologist and botanist with an interest mainly in ferns and orchids. Kunze joined the Wernerian Natural History Society in Edinburgh in 1817. He later became Zoology Professor at Leipzig University and in 1837 was appointed director of the Botanical Gardens in Leipzig. In 1851 he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The plant genus ''Kunzea'' was named in his honour. Works * Beiträge zur Monographie der Rohrkäfer. ''Neue Schrift.

''Chaetomium truncatulum'' is a fungus species in the ''Chaetomium'' genus, first isolated from Iran.

Chaetomium Thermophilum
''Chaetomium thermophilum'' is a thermophilic filamentous fungus. It grows on dung or compost (rotten organics). It is notable for being a eukaryote with a high temperature tolerance (60 °C). Its optimal growth temperature is 50–55 °C. Research Since fungi are eukaryotic and not distant from animals they are good models for comparative and easy-to-manipulate research, and in the case of ''C. thermophilum'', it is of special significance. First, given the fact it is thermophilic, proteins derived from this fungus are heat stable and thus easier to work with. Proteins from ''C. thermophilum'' are thermophilic and thus better for studies (structural and biochemical) than comparable mesophilic fungi. Studying nuclear pore complex proteins, it was found that protein isolation was more abundant and more soluble than in yeast (yeast proteins precipitate at a lower temperature). Genome and proteome The genome of ''C. thermophilum'' has been completely sequenced. It spans 2 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chaetomium Subspirale
''Chaetomium subspirale'' is a fungus from the phylum Ascomycota. It was described by A. H. Chivers in 1912 in America. The species has sexual fruiting bodies that are ornamented with characteristic, coiled hairs giving it a wooly appearance. ''C. subspirale'' colonies are brown, which the characteristic hairs are also responsible for. It is commonly found in various soil and dung samples. ''C. subspirale'' produces the mycotoxin, oxaspirodion, which inhibits inducible TNF-a expression and inhibits the activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB. History and taxonomy Professor A.H. Chivers recognized ''Chaetomium subspirale'' in 1912 in America through the course of his work on the genus ''Chaetomium''. Through the examination of many successive generations and the cultivation of species from different sources on various media, Chivers was able to examine a large series of specimens from various herbaria and exsiccati. This examination allowed Chivers to provide his prelim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chaetomium Perlucidum
''Chaetomium perlucidum'' is a neurotropic dematiaceous (melanated cell wall) fungus that is naturally found in the soil, including in agricultural soil, and in the stems of dead plants. The fungus can also be found on the feathers of birds, manure, seeds, and even paper. It is able to thrive at temperatures of . The fungus is an invasive opportunist to humans that can cause diseases such as onychomycosis (fungus on nails), otolaryngologic (head and neck) or respiratory inflammations (like sinusitis, pneumonia, and empyema), and brain necrosis. History It was first formally recorded in 1956 in Ukraine by K. S. Sergeeva. Morphology ''Chaetomium perlucidum'' is pigmented and dark in colour, appearing hairy and wooly, with a growth rate of 4-5 mm/day. Perithecia (fruiting body) ''Chaetomium perlucidum'''s fruiting bodies become fully mature in 13-16 days. The fruiting body's structural width is 90-200 μm, with an ostiolar pore (open pore) width of 30-50 μm. Se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
