Fusarium solani produces an orange-red, extracellular pigment which is shown to possess antibiotic activity against some Gram positive bacteria and fungi. Growth of the organisms is inhibited with as low a pigment concentration ...

Aspergillus penicillioides is a true halophile, present in diverse econiches from the hypersaline athalassohaline Dead Sea and the thalassohaline solar salterns, to the polyhaline estuaries and mangroves of Goa-India. ...

Micoroorganisms play an important role in biosorption of metals and in the abatement of metal pollution Sorption of metals by Fusarium solani is reported in this study. Metal biosorption by the culture is shown to occur ...

Halophilic fungi combat the osmotic stress of their saline environment by the accumulation of compatible solutes, also termed as osmolytes. Filamentous fungi isolated from various athalassohaline, thalassohaline and ...

The fungal composition, abundance and diversity of the mangrove sediments from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, using paired-end Illumina sequencing, hitherto unexplored by a metagenomic approach, indicated that though ...

The electrophoretic karyotype of Fusarium solani was determined by contourclamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) gel electrophoresis. Thirteen chromosomal bands were obtained. The size of these bands, based on their ...

Halophilic mycobiota was isolated from Mandovi estuary and it was dominated by Aspergillus and Penicillium species. Cladosporium and Eurotium were found in lesser numbers while obligate halophiles were found only amongst ...

High salt tolerant fungal genera were isolated from mangroves and solar salterns of Goa. These belonged mainly to the genus Aspergillus; some Penicillium and a few Eurotium and Hortaea. Most of the isolates were facultative ...
