Chaetomium
''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 conglom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chaetomium Elatum
''Chaetomium elatum'' is a very common and widely distributed saprotrophic fungus of the Chaetomiaceae family of molds which has been found to grow on many different substances all over the world. It was first established by Gustav Kunze after he observed it growing on dead leaves. Its defining features that distinguish it from other ''Chaetomium'' species are its extremely coarse terminal hairs and the lemon-shaped morphology of its ascospores. It produces many metabolites with potential biotechnology uses including one with promise against the rice blast disease fungus, '' Magnaporthe grisea''. It shows very little pathogenic ability causing confirmed disease in only a few plant species. History and taxonomy Gustav Kunze established the genus ''Chaetomium'' in 1817 after discovering a new species of fungus in dead stalks and leaves which he named ''C. globosum''. In 1818, when observing the dead leaves of '' Typha'' and ''Sparganium'' in Germany, Kunze recognized a new fungu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chaetomium Globosum
''Chaetomium globosum'' is a well-known mesophilic member of the mold family Chaetomiaceae. It is a saprophytic fungus that primarily resides on plants, soil, straw, and dung. Endophytic ''C. globosum'' assists in cellulose decomposition of plant cells. They are found in habitats ranging from forest plants to mountain soils across various biomes. ''C. globosum'' colonies can also be found indoors and on wooden products. ''Chaetomium globosum'' are human allergens and opportunistic agents of ungual mycosis and neurological infections. However such illnesses occur at low rates. Description Metabolism Like most ''Chaetomium'' species, ''C. globosum'' decomposes plant cells using hyphal cellulase activity. Even though they are known to cause soft rot rather than brown rot, ''C. globosum'' plant decomposition leaves behind lignin residues. They can decay a variety of wood types such as aspen and pine and even change the colour of paper and books. The cellulase activity of ''C. globo ...

Chaetomium Cupreum
''Chaetomium cupreum'' is a fungus in the family Chaetomiaceae. It is able to decay in manufactured cellulosic materials, and is known to antagonize a wide range of soil microorganisms. This species is component of the biocontrol agent, Ketomium, a commercial biofungicide. It has also been investigated for use in the production of natural dyes. ''Chaetomium cupreum'' is mesophilic and known to occur in harsh environments and can rapidly colonize organic substrates in soil. Laboratory cultures of ''C. cupreum'' can be propagated on a range of common growth media including potato dextrose at ambient or higher than ambient temperature producing cottony white colonies with a reddish reverse. History ''Chaetomium cupreum'' was described by Lawrence Marion Ames in 1949 as part of a military effort to identify the organisms responsible for the biodeterioration. During this project, Ames documented 9 novel ''Chaetomium'' species including the culture Ames described as ''C. cupreum'' wh ...

Chaetomium Atrobrunneum
''Chaetomium atrobrunneum'' is a darkly pigmented mould affiliated with the fungal division, Ascomycota. This species is predominantly saprotrophic, although it has been known to infect animals including humans, showing a proclivity for the tissues of the central nervous system. ''Chaetomium atrobrunneum'' was described in 1949 from a mouldy military mattress cover obtained from the island of Guadalcanal. Growth and morphology ''Chaetomium atrobrunneum'' is a darkly pigmented, predominantly mycelial fungus. Colonies of ''C. atrobrunneum'' typically are dark grey to black in colour with a woolly appearance. It forms sexual fruiting structures called perithecia that are spherical to oval in shape, measuring between 70–150 µm in width when fully matured at 10 days. The perithecia are covered sparsely with straight, finely-blistered, dark brown hairs that become occasionally become broadly branched with age. The perithecia contain asci within which are 8 ascospores that spind ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
