Pseudallescheria Angusta
''Pseudallescheria'' is a genus of fungi in the family Microascaceae The Microascaceae are a family of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes, subclass Hypocreomycetidae. The family was published by David Malloch in 1970, an emended description based on Everet Stanley Luttrell's original 1951 publication. Family was ....

Pseudallescheria Boydii
''Pseudallescheria boydii'' is a species of fungus classified in the Ascomycota. It is associated with some forms of eumycetoma/ maduromycosis and is the causative agent of pseudallescheriasis. Typically found in stagnant and polluted water, it has been implicated in the infection of immunocompromised and near-drowned pneumonia patients. Treatment of infections with ''P. boydii'' is complicated by resistance to many of the standard antifungal agents normally used to treat infections by filamentous fungi. Fungal pneumonia caused by this mold was the cause of death in three athletes submerged in the Yarkon River after a bridge collapsed during the 1997 Maccabiah Games. Taxonomy The fungus was originally described by American mycologist Cornelius Lott Shear in 1922 as a species of '' Allescheria''. Shear obtained cultures from a patient of the Medical Department of the University of Texas. The microbe was apparently associated with a penetrating thorn the patient had incu ...

Fungi
A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the kingdom (biology)#Six kingdoms (1998), traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae, and either Protista or Protozoa and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of motility, mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Microascaceae
The Microascaceae are a family of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes, subclass Hypocreomycetidae. The family was published by David Malloch in 1970, an emended description based on Everet Stanley Luttrell's original 1951 publication. Family was updated in 2020. Description Microascaceae species have spherical to irregularly shaped, darkly colored fruit bodies. They are usually hairy and rarely smooth. The smooth spores are reddish brown to copper colored, one-celled, and have a germ pore at one or both ends. Asci can occur singly or in chains. Genera As accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020 (with number of species); *'' Acaulium'' (4) *'' Brachyconidiellopsis'' (1) *'' Canariomyces'' (3) *'' Cephalotrichum'' (37) - anamorph *'' Doratomyces'' (3) *'' Echinobotryum'' (2) *'' Enterocarpus'' (2) *'' Fairmania'' (1) *'' Gamsia'' (5) *'' Kernia'' (14) *'' Lomentospora'' (1) *'' Lophotrichus'' (8) *'' Microascus'' (60) *'' Parascedosporium'' (2) *'' Petriella'' (8) ...
