Ascochyta Viciae

	Ascochyta Viciae ''Ascochyta viciae'' is an ascomycete fungus species in the genus ''Ascochyta''. Ascofuranone is an antibiotic first isolated from a strain of ''A. viciae'' in 1972; however, the identification of the strain is later revised as ''Acremonium sclerotigenum ''Acremonium'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae. It used to be known as ''Cephalosporium''. Description ''Acremonium'' species are usually slow-growing and are initially compact and moist.

	Ascochyta ''Ascochyta'' is a genus of ascomycete fungi, containing several species that are pathogenic to plants, particularly cereal crops. The taxonomy of this genus is still incomplete. The genus was first described in 1830 by Marie-Anne Libert, who regarded the spores as minute asci and the cell contents as spherical spores. Numerous revisions to the members of the genus and its description were made for the next several years. Species that are plant pathogenic on cereals include, '' A. hordei'', '' A. graminea'', '' A. sorghi'', '' A. tritici''. Symptoms are usually elliptical spots that are initially chlorotic and later become a necrotic brown. Management includes fungicide applications and sanitation of diseased plant tissue debris. Some of these pathogens in the genus ''Ascochyta'' affect grass species, including grains. Some species of ''Ascochyta'' '' Ascochyta asparagina'', Ascochyta blight '' Ascochyta bohemica'' '' Ascochyta boltshauseri'' '' Ascochyta caricae'', S ...

picture info	Ascofuranone Ascofuranone is an antibiotic produced by various ascomycete fungi including ''Acremonium sclerotigenum'' that inhibits the ''Trypanosoma brucei'' alternative oxidase and is a lead compound in efforts to produce other drugs targeting this enzyme for the treatment of sleeping sickness. The compound is effective both in vitro cell culture and in infections in mice. Ascofuranone has also been reported to have anti-tumor activity, and modulate the immune system The immune system is a network of biological processes that protects an organism from diseases. It detects and responds to a wide variety of pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, as well as cancer cells and objects such as wood splinte .... __TOC__ Biosynthesis The proposed biosynthesis of ascofuranone was reported by Kita et al., as well as by Abe et al. The prenylation of orsellinic acid, followed by terminal cyclization through epoxidation is how ascofuranone can be synthesized. Compound (1), ilicicolinic aci ...

	Acremonium Sclerotigenum ''Acremonium'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae. It used to be known as ''Cephalosporium''. Description ''Acremonium'' species are usually slow-growing and are initially compact and moist. Their hyphae are fine and hyaline, and produce mostly simple phialides. Their conidia are usually one-celled (i.e. ameroconidia), hyaline or pigmented, globose to cylindrical, and mostly aggregated in slimy heads at the apex of each phialide. ''Epichloë'' species are closely related and were once included in ''Acremonium'', but were later split off into a new genus ''Neotyphodium'', which has now been restructured within the genus ''Epichloë''. Clinical significance The genus ''Acremonium'' contains about 100 species, of which most are saprophytic, being isolated from dead plant material and soil. Many species are recognized as opportunistic pathogens of man and animals, causing eumycetoma, onychomycosis, and hyalohyphomycosis. Infections of humans by fungi of this genus a ...
