Chaetomium Strumarium
''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] |
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 ''Kunzea'' is a genus of plants in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to Australasia. They are shrubs, sometimes small trees and usually have small, crowded, rather aromatic leaves. The flowers are similar to those of plants in the genus '' Lep ...'' was named in his honour.

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 Truncatulum
''Chaetomium truncatulum'' is a fungus species in the ''Chaetomium'' genus, first isolated from Iran. It shares features such as peridium structure, ascospore morphology and germ pore position with its cogenerates. This species in particular can be characterized by spirally coiled ascomatal hairs and fusiform Fusiform means having a spindle-like shape that is wide in the middle and tapers at both ends. It is similar to the lemon-shape, but often implies a focal broadening of a structure that continues from one or both ends, such as an aneurysm on a b ... ascospores.

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 ... [...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 prelimi ... [...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. Seta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
