1. Analysis of Secondary Metabolites from Aspergillus fumigatus and Penicillium nalgiovense : Antimicrobial Compounds from Filamentous Fungi Isolated from Extreme Environments
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the cultivation and extraction of filamentous fungi isolated from extreme environments in the search for new antibiotic compounds. Filamentous fungi are a rich source of medicines including antibiotics, and it is believed that many currently unknown fungal species and bioactive fungal metabolites remain to be discovered. LÄS MER
2. Discovery of Novel Fatty Acid Dioxygenases and Cytochromes P450 : Mechanisms of Oxylipin Biosynthesis in Pathogenic Fungi
Sammanfattning : Dioxygenase-cytochrome P450 (DOX-CYP) fusion enzymes are present in diverse human and plant pathogenic fungi. They oxygenate fatty acids to lipid mediators which have regulatory functions in fungal development and toxin production. LÄS MER
3. Evaluation of neurotoxic properties of gliotoxin
Sammanfattning : The occurrence of mould in food and animal feed is a severe problem due to the secondary metabolites, called mycotoxins, which can possess toxic activity. Aspergillus fumigatus is a common fungus found in improperly stored animal feed and the abundance of spores of the fungus is frequently spread into the air. LÄS MER
4. Defense and inflammation by alveolar macrophages in response to inhaled fungi
Sammanfattning : Background: Serious fungal infections have increased notably in patients receiving modern treatment like organ transplantation, parenteral nutrition, long term steroid therapy and broad spectrum antibiotics. Patients with HIV infections and drug addicts also contract fungal infections. LÄS MER
5. Mycotoxins in indoor environments. Determination using mass spectrometry
Sammanfattning : Dampness in indoor environments may cause various health problems. The specific causative agent(s) are unknown but may originate from degradation processes in damp materials, microbial growth, or a combination of these phenomena. The health impact of dampness in buildings is a politically, legally, and economically important question. LÄS MER
