The objective of this study is to investigate and understand the oxidizing properties of a
manganese oxide, specifically synthetic cryptomelane (KMn 8 O 16) and its derivatives, in …

Fungal infections are on the rise, since the imunocompromised population is increasing due
to AIDS/HIV, organ transplant and chemotherapy. Many environmental and pathogenic fungi …

In this study, the structure of the purified extracellular eumelanin pigment isolated from
Streptomyces spp. was elucidated by detailed analysis via two different spectroscopic …

The kinetics of Mn3+–oxalate formation and decay were investigated in reactions catalyzed
by manganese peroxidase (MnP) from the basiomyceteCeriporiopsis subvermisporain the …

Stimulation of lycopene synthesis in the mycelium of the mucoraceous fungus Blakeslea
trispora was accompanied by major changes in its lipid composition. The phospholipid …

The Sclerotium is one of the most persistent organs in filamentous fungi. Control of sclerotial
formation is promising in the prevention of sclerotial disease. In this study, cytological …

N-(1-Piperidinepropionyl) amphotericin B methyl ester (in short, PAME), a low-toxicity
amphotericin B derivative, has been investigated in Langmuir monolayers at the air/water …

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a granulomatous systemic mycosis caused by the thermo-
dimorphic fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides. Melanin production by fungi can affect their …

The review covers recent data on the use of mycelial fungi for the production of carotenoids
and on the chemical composition and biological functions of micromycete carotenoids …
