Ulocladium
''Ulocladium'' is a genus of fungi. Species of this genus contain both plant pathogens and food spoilage agents. Other species contain enzymes that are biological control agents. Some members of the genus can invade homes and are a sign of moisture because the mold requires water to thrive. They can cause plant diseases or hay fever and more serious infections in immuno-suppressed individuals. Species of ''Ulocladium'' resemble those of genus ''Alternaria'' with which they were once included. Several DNA-based phylogenetic studies place ''Ulocladium'' convincingly within ''Alternaria'', suggesting that the latter is the correct classification for these species. However, ''Ulocladium'', unlike ''Alternaria'', do not produce alternariols, tenuazonic acid, altersolanols, or macrosporin. The species ''Ulocladium oudemansii'' is utilised as a biocontrol agent against ''Botrytis cinerea''. The New Zealand companBotryzen (2010) Ltduses it to control Botrytis bunch rot in the NZ vi ...

Ulocladium Botrytis
''Ulocladium botrytis'' is an anamorphic filamentous fungus belonging to the phylum Ascomycota. Commonly found in soil and damp indoor environments, ''U.botrytis'' is a hyphomycetous mould found in many regions of the world. It is also occasionally misidentified as a species of the genera ''Alternaria'' or '' Pithomyces'' due to morphological similarities. ''Ulocladium botrytis'' is rarely pathogenic to humans but is associated with human allergic responses and is used in allergy tests. ''Ulocladium botrytis'' has been implicated in some cases of human fungal nail infection. The fungus was first discovered in 1851 by German mycologist Carl Gottlieb Traugott Preuss. History and taxonomy The genus ''Ulocladium'' was first discovered in 1851 by German mycologist, Preuss, in a small batch of his specimens. An abundant hyphomycetous growth of ''Ulocladium'' was found on a thin sliver of wood and was drawn and labeled by Preuss as ''Ulocladium botrytis'' in his manuscript. This samp ...

Ulocladium Chartarum
''Ulocladium chartarum'' () is an ascomycetes mushroom, one of the many in the genus ''Ulocladium''. History and taxonomy ''Ulocladium chartarum'' was discovered in 1848. It was originally called ''Alternaria chartarum'', but was given its current name by E. G. Simmons in 1967. ''Ulocladium chartarum'' is a mold commonly found in indoor environments. Members of the genus ''Ulocladium'' are often found in water damaged materials, and can even be found on paper if conditions are right. It is often found together with species ''Stachybotrys''.(Frisvad and Gravesen 1994, Gravesen et al. 1997) The presence of ''Ulocladium'' is a good indicator of wet environments or water damage. This genus is morphologically similar to ''Alternaria'' and possesses the same major allergen. It appears to live in the same places as '' S. chartarum'' although with more frequency, as it is able to grow under the same humidity range as ''Alternaria''. Almost no secondary metabolites have been isolated f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ulocladium Chlamydosporum
''Ulocladium chlamydosporum'' is a filamentous fungus. This fungus is salt tolerant and has been found in water from the Dead Sea and did not grow out on agar without the presence of salt. The presence of copper and zinc can stimulate growth in ''U. chlamydosporum'', whereas lead, manganese, and molybdenum Molybdenum is a chemical element with the symbol Mo and atomic number 42 which is located in period 5 and group 6. The name is from Neo-Latin ''molybdaenum'', which is based on Ancient Greek ', meaning lead, since its ores were confused with lea ... inhibit growth.

Pithomyces Chartarum
''Pithomyces chartarum'' is a fungus predominantly found in subtropical countries and other localities with warmer climates. However, it occurs throughout the world including the United Kingdom, Europe and Netherlands. ''Pithomyces chartarum'' produces a mycotoxin called sporidesmin when it grows on plants, particularly grasses. Presence of the toxin in forage grasses causes facial eczema in sheep, and is especially problematic in areas such as New Zealand where sheep are intensively raised. Other health effect of ''P. chartarum'' are not well understood. History and taxonomy This species was first discovered by Miles Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis as ''Sporidesmium chartarum'' in 1874. It was independently named ''Sporidesmium bakeri'' by German mycologists Hans and Paul Sydow in 1914. Canadian mycologist Stanley Hughes examined specimens of both taxa in 1958 and concluded that they represented the same taxon which he contemplated assigning them to the genus ''Scheleobrachea ...

Caraway
Caraway, also known as meridian fennel and Persian cumin (''Carum carvi''), is a biennial plant in the family Apiaceae, native to western Asia, Europe, and North Africa. Etymology The etymology of "caraway" is unclear. Caraway has been called by many names in different regions, with names deriving from the Latin ''cuminum'' ( cumin), the Greek ''karon'' (again, cumin), which was adapted into Latin as ''carum'' (now meaning caraway), and the Sanskrit ''karavi'', sometimes translated as "caraway", but other times understood to mean "fennel".Katzer's Spice PagesCaraway Caraway (''Carum carvi'' L.)/ref> English use of the term caraway dates to at least 1440, possibly having Arabic origin.Walter William Skeat, Principles of English Etymology, Volume 2, page 319. 189Words of Arabic Origin/ref> Description The plant is similar in appearance to other members of the carrot family, with finely divided, feathery leaves with thread-like divisions, growing on stems.

Onychomycosis
Onychomycosis, also known as tinea unguium, is a fungal infection of the nail. Symptoms may include white or yellow nail discoloration, thickening of the nail, and separation of the nail from the nail bed. Toenails or fingernails may be affected, but it is more common for toenails. Complications may include cellulitis of the lower leg. A number of different types of fungus can cause onychomycosis, including dermatophytes and ''Fusarium''. Risk factors include athlete's foot, other nail diseases, exposure to someone with the condition, peripheral vascular disease, and poor immune function. The diagnosis is generally suspected based on the appearance and confirmed by laboratory testing. Onychomycosis does not necessarily require treatment. The antifungal medication terbinafine taken by mouth appears to be the most effective but is associated with liver problems. Trimming the affected nails when on treatment also appears useful. There is a ciclopirox-containing nail polish, but t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pistachio
The pistachio (, ''Pistacia vera''), a member of the cashew family, is a small tree originating from Central Asia and the Middle East. The tree produces seeds that are widely consumed as food. ''Pistacia vera'' is often confused with other species in the genus ''Pistacia'' that are also known as pistachio. These other species can be distinguished by their geographic distributions (in the wild) and their seeds which are much smaller and have a soft shell. Etymology Pistachio is from late Middle English ''pistace'', from Old French, superseded in the 16th century by forms from Italian ''pistacchio'', via Latin from Greek ''pistákion'', and from Middle Persian ''pistakē''. History The pistachio tree is native to regions of Central Asia, including present-day Iran and Afghanistan. Archaeology shows that pistachio seeds were a common food as early as 6750 BC. So far, the earliest evidence of pistachio consumption goes back to the Bronze Age Central Asia and comes from Djarkuta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...
