Abstract:
ABSTRACT The echinocandin caspofungin is a potent inhibitor of the activity of 1,3-β-d-glucan synthase from Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terreus, and Aspergillus nidulans. In murine models of disseminated infection, caspofungin prolonged survival and reduced the kidney fungal burden. Caspofungin was at least as effective as amphotericin B against these filamentous fungi in vivo.

Abstract:
<p>Samples of maize, rice, cocoa and cocoa-based powder beverage) collected from different stores and markets in south-western Nigeria were screened for filamentous fungi contamination using conventional and molecular methods. Samples were cultured aseptically on potato dextrose agar (PDA), ohio agricultural experimental agar (OEASA), Malt Extract Agar (MEA) and Czapek Yeast Agar (CYA) prior to fungi isolation. Conventional methods comprising of macroscopic and microscopic evaluation of isolated fungi species were implemented in the analysis for identification of fungi species. Molecular method of identification involved DNA extraction, Polymerase chain Reaction (PCR) using ITS-1/ITS-4 primer pair and nucleotide sequencing. Results obtained indicated a range of filamentous fungi genus including <em>Aspergillus</em>, <em>Penicillium</em>, <em>Fusarium</em>, <em>Alternaria,</em> <em>Cladosporium</em> and <em>Rhizopus</em> contaminating the food commodities with <em>Aspergillus</em> and <em>Penicillium</em> species dominating most of the samples. High incidences were recorded for <em>Aspergillus flavus</em>, <em>Aspergillus niger</em> and <em>Aspergillus fumigatus</em> in most of the samples screened. The occurrence of these filamentous fungal species pose a reason for concern as most of these fungal species are known producers of toxic substances. This study was carried out to contribute to mycological screening of different Nigerian food commodities for a variety of filamentous fungi species.</p>

Abstract:
Filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus spp. are opportunistic pathogens, which cause highly invasive infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Control of such fungal pathogens is increasingly problematic due to the small number of effective drugs available for treatment. Moreover, the increased incidence of fungal resistance to antifungal agents makes this problem a global human health issue. The cell wall integrity system of fungi is the target of antimycotic drugs echinocandins, such as caspofungin (CAS). However, echinocandins cannot completely inhibit the growth of filamentous fungal pathogens, which results in survival/escape of fungi during treatment. Chemosensitization was developed as an alternative intervention strategy, where co-application of CAS with the intervention catalyst octyl gallate (OG; chemosensitizer) greatly enhanced CAS efficacy, thus achieved ≥99.9% elimination of filamentous fungi in vitro. Based on hypersensitive responses of Aspergillus antioxidant mutants to OG, it is hypothesized that, besides destabilizing cell wall integrity, the redox-active characteristic of OG may further debilitate the fungal antioxidant system.

Abstract:
The industrially important filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae, known as the yellow Koji mold and also designated the Japanese National fungus, has been investigated for understanding the intracellular membrane trafficking machinery due to the great ability of valuable enzyme production. The underlying molecular mechanisms of the secretory pathway delineate the main secretion route from the hyphal tip via the vesicle cluster Spitzenkörper, but also there is a growing body of evidence that septum-directed and unconventional secretion occurs in A. oryzae hyphal cells. Moreover, not only the secretory pathway but also the endocytic pathway is crucial for protein secretion, especially having a role in apical endocytic recycling. As a hallmark of multicellular filamentous fungal cells, endocytic organelles early endosome and vacuole are quite dynamic: the former exhibits constant long-range motility through the hyphal cells and the latter displays pleiomorphic structures in each hyphal region. These characteristics are thought to have physiological roles, such as supporting protein secretion and transporting nutrients. This review summarizes molecular and physiological mechanisms of membrane traffic, i.e., secretory and endocytic pathways, in A. oryzae and related filamentous fungi and describes the further potential for industrial applications.

Abstract:
Xylanase plays an important role in the food, feed, and pulp/paper industry. Filamentous fungi have been considered as useful producers of this enzyme from an industrial point of view, due to the fact that they excrete xylanases into the medium. In this study, four fungal species belonging to different genera, i.e. Aspergillus, Cochliobolus, Pyrenophora, and Penicillium were isolated from different sources and compared for their ability to produce xylanase in submerged culture. The fungal species showed enzyme activity as determined by dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. It was found that the two saprophytic Aspergillus strains, i.e A. terreus (Fss 129) and A. niger (SS7) had the highest xylanase activity of 474 and 294 U ml–1 at pH 7 and 8, respectively, in the presence of corn cob hulls after 120 h of incubation. The production of xylanase seemed to be strongly influenced by the interactive effect of initial pH on the fungi. Interestingly, xylanase was better produced by the saprophytic fungi of Aspergillus and Penicillium than by the plant pathogenic ones of Cochliobolus and Pyrenophora. This work provides additional information to support future research on fungi with different lifestyles for food industrial production of xylanase.

Abstract:
Abstract The cereals are a suitable substrate for the growth of microscopic filamentous fungi. Micromycetes are capable of reducing the nutritional value of feedstuff and they can produce several mycotoxins. The most frequent genera of microscopic filamentous fungi are Fusarium, Penicillium, Alternaria and Aspergillus. The contamination by microscopic fungi and mycotoxins was determinated in 56 samples of feed cereals originating from the Slovak Republic. The most common genera of fungi detected in the feed cereals included: Alternaria (67.8 %), Fusarium (44.6 %), Penicillium (39.2 %), Mucor (30.3 %), Rhizopus (28.5 %), Cladosporium (21.4 %), Scopulariopsis (8.9 %) and Aspergillus (1.7 %). Deoxynivalenol was present in 24 samples (42.8 %) and zearalenone in 15 samples (26.7 %). The values of both mycotoxins did not reach the regulatory limits and thus they do not pose a risk to livestock nutrition.

Abstract:
O Brasil apresenta cerca de 10 a 17,6% da biodiversidade mundial e apenas uma fração dela é conhecida. Os fungos filamentosos são bons produtores de enzimas e despertam um grande interesse biotecnológico. O amido é o principal carboidrato de reserva das plantas. Dentre as enzimas amilolíticas estão as glucoamilases, que catalisam a hidrólise das ligações -1,4 e -1,6 das extremidades da cadeia do amido liberando glucose. Neste trabalho foram isolados 25 fungos filamentosos de amostras de materiais em decomposição da Mata Atlântica. Dos micro-organismos com alta atividade amilolítica foram selecionados e identificados Aspergillus brasiliensis e Rhizopus oryzae. Foi realizada a otimização do cultivo e caracterização das amilases do extrato bruto de ambos os fungos. Após a obtenção destes dados foi selecionado A. brasiliensis, pois, sua amilase é mais termoestável e ainda não reportada na literatura. Após purificação a enzima foi identificada como glucoamilase, a qual é monomérica com 69 kDa e contém aproximadamente 21% de carboidratos. Apresenta um domínio de ligação ao amido na porção terminal e estrutura secundária rica em -hélice. Sua atividade ótima ocorre em pH 4,5 a 60°C, seu pI é de 3,21, pode ser ativada com a adição de Mn2+, e é inibida por glucose em concentrações maiores que 0,1 M. A glucoamilase apresenta excelente estabilidade ao pH e boa estabilidade a temperatura (a 50°C mantém 67% de atividade após 7 horas; a 55°C a meia vida é de 147 minutos). Com amido de batata a enzima apresentou as seguintes constantes cinéticas (km 2,21 mg/mL; Vmáx 155 U/mg; kcat 179 s-1; kcat/km 81,06). A glucoamilase foi imobilizada em DEAE-PEG com ativação de 12 vezes e possibilidade de reuso de 10 vezes com perda de apenas 31% de atividade. O derivado demostrou maior facilidade para hidrolisar a amilopectina do que à amilose. Também foi realizada uma análise de neighbor joining, que agrupou a glucoamilase de A. brasiliensis próxima às glucoamilases de espécies de Aspergillus, que são consideradas as mais derivadas.<br>Brazil holds about 10-17.6% of the world\'s biodiversity and just a percentage of it is known. Filamentous fungi are enzyme producers that have great biotechnological application. Starch is the main reserve carbohydrate in plants. Among the amylolytic enzymes there are the glucoamylases, that catalyze the hydrolysis of -1,4 and -1,6 linkages of the end of starch chains, and releases glucose. In this research 25 filamentous fungi from Atlantic forest decaying material samples were isolated. Among microorganisms with high amylolytic activity Aspergillus brasiliensis and Rhizoupus oryzae were selected and identified. The cultivation parameters were optimized and the enzymes of crude extract were characterized. Considering the previous data Aspergillus brasiliensis was selected because its amylases are more thermostable and it has not been described in the literature yet. After purification the enzyme was identified as a glucoamylase, which is monomeric with 69 kDa and about 21% of carbohydrates in its composition. The enzyme has a starch binding domain in the terminal position and its secondary structure is rich in -helix. The optimum pH for glucoamylase activity is 4.5, the temperature is 60ºC and its pI is 3.21. The enzyme can be activated by the addition of Mn+2, and inhibited in concentrations above 0,1M glucose. The glucoamylase has an excellent pH stability and a good temperature stability (at 50ºC 67% of the activity was retained after 7 hours; at 55°C its half-life was 147 minutes). The best kinetic values were obtained with potato starch (km 2.21 mg/mL; Vmax 155 U/mg; kcat 179 s-1; kcat/km 81,06). The glucoamylase was immobilized on DEAE-PEG, with an activation of 12 times and enzyme reuse 10 times with just 31% loss of its activity. The immobilized enzyme has a greater activity on amylopectin than amylose. A neighbor joining analysis with glucoamylases from filamentous fungi species was made and Aspergillus brasiliensis glucoamylase was grouped close to the glucoamylases of Aspergillus species, which are considered the most derivative.

Essa mistura apresenta sabor mais doce que a sacarose e é destinada à diversos fins na indústria alimentícia (doces, xaropes, leite condensado e bebidas). É importante destacar que o produto obtido por hidrólise enzimática é bastante superior ao obtido por hidrólise ácida. A hidrólise catalisada pela enzima β-D-frutofuranosidase produz um xarope de alta qualidade com ausência de hidroximetilfurfural e sem desenvolvimento de cor. Diante do interesse industrial e biotecnológico, e das diversas aplicações dessa enzima, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a produção de β-D-frutofuranosidase extracelular pelo fungo filamentoso Aspergillus niveus através de Fermentação em Estado Sólido (FES) purificando-a e caracterizando-a bioquimicamente.

This mixture is sweeter than sucrose and is intended for various purposes in the food industry (sweets, syrup, condensed milk and drinks). It is important to note that the product obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis is much higher than that obtained by acid hydrolysis. The hydrolysis catalyzed by β-D-fructofuranosidase enzyme produces a high-quality syrup without hydroxymethylfurfural and color development. Before the industrial and biotechnological interest, and the various applications of this enzyme, the aim of this study was to investigate the production of the extracellular β-D-fructofuranosidase by filamentous fungus Aspergillus niveus under Solid Fermentation State (SSF) purifying it and characterizing it biochemically. Among the substrates tested in the SSF, the highest yield of β-D-fructofuranosidase was obtained in cassava hulls with a particle size of 10 mesh, humidified in the ratio 1:1 with tap water and maintained at 30°C with a relative humidity of 30%, for 9 days of incubation. The extracellular β-Dfructofuranosidase obtained in SSF was purified 6.53-folds with a recovery of 5.27%.

Abstract:
O estudo teve por finalidade avaliar a contaminação por aflatoxinas (AF) em três espécies de peixes no Estado de São Paulo, avaliando também a micobiota e a ocorrência das toxinas nas rações. Foram coletadas amostras de ração, em uso e em estoque, e amostras dos peixes lambari (Astyanax altiparanae), matrinxã (Brycon cephalus) e pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) em cinco pisciculturas localizadas no Estado de São Paulo. As amostras de ração foram avaliadas quanto à contaminação fúngica, classificando os Aspergillus quanto à espécie e ao potencial toxigênico. A contagem de bolores variou de 1,0 x 102 UFC/g até 4,0 x 104 UFC/g, sendo o maior valor encontrado em rações em uso. A atividade de água variou de 0,45 a 0,72. Na análise da micobiota da ração, o gênero Aspergillus foi encontrado em 100% das amostras avaliadas, além dos gêneros Penicillium, Fusarium e Cladosporium. Dentre os isolados de Aspergillus seção Flavi, 84,2% produziram aflatoxinas. Foram identificadas diferentes espécies de Aspergillus, sendo 42,1% classificados como Aspergillus flavus. A detecção e quantificação de aflatoxinas foram efetuadas por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) em amostras de ração, tecido muscular e fígado dos peixes. AFB1 e AFG2 foram detectadas em 8,34% e 16,67% das amostras de ração, respectivamente. No tecido muscular, apenas uma amostra apresentou 5,4 &micro;g AFM1/kg. Nas amostras de fígado, 50% apresentaram AFM1, variando de 2,3 a 17,1 &micro;g/kg, e 16,67% apresentaram AFB1 em níveis de 8,9 a 12,7 &micro;g/kg. Embora tenham sido encontrados níveis baixos de aflatoxinas na ração das propriedades investigadas, a detecção nos tecidos dos peixes sugere que os animais ingeriram a toxina em algum momento. Assim, pode-se concluir que o risco de contaminação por aflatoxinas em pisciculturas no estado de São Paulo existe e deve ser controlado.<br>The study aimed to evaluate the contamination by aflatoxins (AF) in three species of fish in the state of Sao Paulo, evaluating also the mycobiota and the occurrence of toxins in feed. It were collected feed samples, in use and stored, and fish samples: lambari (Astyanax altiparanae), matrinxã (Brycon cephalus) and pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) in five fish farming from state of Sao Paulo. Feed samples were evaluated for fungal contamination, classifying Aspergillus at species and their toxigenic potential. The mold count ranged from 1.0 x 102 CFU/g to 4.0 x 104 CFU/g, and the highest value was found in feed in use. The water activity ranged from 0.45 to 0.72. Regarding mycobiota analysis, the genus Aspergillus was found in 100% of the samples, as well Penicillium, Fusarium and Cladosporium genus were noted. Among the isolates of Aspergillus section Flavi, 84.2% produced aflatoxins. Different Aspergillus species were identified, with 42.1% classified as Aspergillus flavus. The detection and quantitation of aflatoxins in feed samples, fish muscle and fish liver were performed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). AFB1 and AFG2 were detected in 8.34% and 16.67% of feed samples, respectively. In fish muscle, only one sample showed 5.4 &micro;g AFM1/kg. In the liver samples, 50% presented AFM1, ranging from 2.3 to 17.1 &micro;g/kg, and 16.67% had AFB1 at levels from 8.9 to 12.7 &micro;g/kg. Despite the low levels of aflatoxin in the fish feed from the investigated properties, the detection in fish tissues suggests that animals could have ingested the toxin anytime. Thus, it can be concluded that the risk of aflatoxin contamination in fish farming in the state of Sao Paulo exists and it must be controlled.

Abstract:
Asthma is a heterogeneous condition characterised by variable airflow obstruction, airway inflammation and hyper-responsiveness. Fungal sensitisation has been associated with asthma severity; and airways colonisation by the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus has been associated with a progressive lung function decline in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Interest in the home environment as a source of fungal exposure is increasing; however, there are still no accepted guidelines or standardised methods for the quantification of indoor fungal levels. We sought to i) investigate typical airborne fungal spore concentrations in homes and to compare exposure levels in asthma patients grouped according to either A. fumigatus sensitisation or sputum culture; ii) fully characterise the fungal biota capable of colonising the airways in patients with asthma; and iii) define the clinical characteristics of fungal colonisation. Aspergillus/Penicillium-type conidia exhibited indoor predominance and independence of season, and were highest in old, terraced, non-insulated properties. A. fumigatus was the predominant fungus isolated from sputum and IgE sensitisation to A. fumigatus was associated with reduced post-bronchodilator FEV1 in patients with asthma. Sputum culture of filamentous fungi was also associated with reduced lung function, with predominant fungi comprising Aspergillus and Penicillium species; notably Penicillium piceum and species of Aspergillus section Nigri. Higher levels of airborne A. fumigatus were detected in homes of asthmatics with a positive sputum culture for A. fumigatus. In conclusion, sensitisation to A. fumigatus and airways colonisation by fungi are associated with reduced lung function in moderate to severe asthma; and this study provides a direct link between home exposure and airways colonisation.

Abstract:
Os fungos filamentosos são utilizados em larga escala na produção de produtos biotecnológicos na indústria devido a sua versatilidade e um dos exemplos são as peptidases que representam uma das principais classes de enzimas hidrolíticas. As peptidases são hidrolases que catalisam a quebra das ligações peptídicas das proteínas e que nos microrganismos são responsáveis por funções fisiológicas e patológicas, além de ter muitas aplicações em diversos campos industriais. Neste estudo foram analisados diferentes bioprocessos fermentativos para produção de peptidases pelo fungo Aspergillus terreus. Este microrganismo foi capaz de produzir peptidases em ambos os bioprocessos, sólido ou submerso, obtendo melhor performance e o pico de produção no bioprocesso fermentativo sólido de valor 677U/mL, nas condições 5g de farelo de trigo, 72 horas, 30°C e 75% de umidade. Utilizando o bioprocesso fermentativo submerso também obtivemos resultados satisfatórios com pico de atividade de 360U/mL, nas condições de meio padrão suplementado com Caseína 0,5%, 72 horas e 35°C. A caracterização bioquímica parcial dos extratos dos dois bioprocessos mostrou semelhanças entre algumas características das enzimas produzidas como a faixa extensa de pH ótimo abrangendo regiões ácidas, neutra e alcalinas, temperatura ótima pontual de 55°C e perfil de inibição pelo PMSF e EDTA. Contudo, os perfis de estabilidade (pH e temperatura) e comportamento frente a adição de íons apresentaram respostas diferentes entre si, o que sugere a produção de enzimas diferentes produzidas pelo mesmo fungo em meios distintos. A microencapsulação por Spray Drying como processo de estabilização foi satisfatória obtendo rendimentos de 37,5-58,2% e com níveis acima de 50% de atividade enzimática. Em contrapartida, a imobilização enzimática demonstrou ser eficaz na etapa de ligação ao suporte, mas não foi capaz de estabilizar a enzima presente no extrato, o que ficou caracterizado pela perda de atividade proteolítica.<br>Filamentous fungi are extensively used in the production of biotechnological products in industry because of their versatility and one of the examples are peptidases which constitute a major class of hydrolytic enzymes. The peptidases are hydrolases which catalyze the cleavage of peptide bonds of proteins and microorganisms that are responsible for the physiological and pathological roles, in addition to having many applications in various industrial fields. This study evaluated various bioprocesses for fermentative production of peptidases by the fungus Aspergillus terreus. This microorganism was able to produce peptidase in both bioprocess, solid or submerged, achieving better performance in the solid bioprocess with peak of production of 677U/mL under the conditions 5g wheat bran, 72 hours, 30°C and 75% humidity . Using submerged fermentation bioprocess we also obtained satisfactory results with peak of activity of 360U/mL with conditions of standard medium supplemented with 0.5% casein, 72 hours and 35°C. Biochemical characterization of the two partial purified extracts showed similarities between some characteristics of the enzymes produced, as large optimum pH range spanning regions acidic, neutral and alkaline point temperature optimum of 55 ° C and the inhibition profile of PMSF and EDTA. However, the stability profiles (pH and temperature) and behavior in addition ions showed different responses to each extract, which suggests the production of different enzymes in different ways. Microencapsulation by Spray Drying and stabilization process was obtaining satisfactory yields of 37.5 to 58.2%, with levels above 50% of enzyme activity. In contrast, the enzyme immobilization step was effective in bonding the support, but was not able to stabilize the enzyme present in the extract, which was characterized by the loss of proteolytic activity

Abstract:
Mycotic keratitis is a fungal infection of the cornea that leads to severe, painful ulceration and loss of vision, and is a major cause of blindness worldwide, particularly in the developing world. Major risk factors for mycotic keratitis include ocular trauma and contact lens use. Both yeasts and moulds can cause mycotic keratitis, with the filamentous moulds of the Fusarium and Aspergillus genera the most common aetiological agents worldwide. Fungi, particularly Candida spp. yeasts, can also cause endophthalmitis—a painful, blinding infection of the posterior eye. Treatment of these infections is challenging owing to a limited arsenal of antifungal agents and highly variable susceptibility among causative fungi. Furthermore, associated inflammation contributes greatly to tissue damage and permanent blindness. Studies using experimental models of mycotic keratitis have revealed new targets for novel antifungal agents and anti-inflammatory therapies that have the potential to reduce the impact of these devastating infections.

Abstract:
Mycotoxins are a group of naturally occurring toxins that are produced by different filamentous fungi genera such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, etc. The word mycotoxin literally is derived from Greek word “myke” meaning fungus and “toxicum” meaning toxin. These contaminants can develop on different food and feed commodities during different stages including pre-harvest, harvest, and storage. Mycotoxins are of concern because their outbreak result in animal and human diseases and economic losses. It has been estimated that global post-harvest losses are approximately at 50%. Human exposure to mycotoxins is typically through consumption of contaminated agricultural products or indirectly by consumption of animal products containing mycotoxins or their metabolites. The chapter provides the latest information on mycotoxin issues and challenges related to food and feed safety.

Abstract:
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain filamentous fungi, especially Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium. Over 400 mycotoxins have been identified, most notably aflatoxins, trichothecenes, zearalenone, fumonisins and ochratoxins. These low molecular weight compounds are naturally occurring and (seem to be) unavoidable. In fact, a high percentage of feed samples have been reported to be contaminated with more than one mycotoxin. Mycotoxins accumulate in corn, cereals, soybeans, sorghum, peanuts, and other food and feed crops, directly in the field or during the transportation, processing or storage stages. Consumption of mycotoxin-contaminated food or feed can lead acute or chronic toxicity in humans and animals, as well as crop losses. This chapter reviews the toxicity of the six mycotoxins, the foods they commonly contaminate, and the current methods used to detect and control of these mycotoxins.

Abstract:
Aflatoxins (AFTs) are group of secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, A. nomius, and Emericella nidulans. AFTs contaminate foods, feeds, other raw ingredients used to produce them and that pose a significant threat to human health. These toxins designated as aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), and aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) and aflatoxin M2 (AFM2) are hydroxylated metabolites form of AFB1 and AFB2 are known as difuranocoumarin compounds. Naturally, these AFs have carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic effects and caused several metabolic disorders such as aflatoxicosis in domestic animals and humans worldwide. For the increasing in cancer incidences these risk factors are liable. AFB1 is 1000 times more potent hepatocarcinogen found in food then benzo (α) pyrene carcinogen. This chapter offers contamination sources, effects and their controlling approaches to confirm the food safety.

Abstract:
The field of fungal diagnostics encompasses tests that are performed to help diagnose fungal disease, guide its management, and or monitor the effectiveness of its treatment. For some superficial skin and yeast infections, a clinical examination of the patient combined with microscopic examination of the sample may be sufficient to determine that fungal disease is present, even if the specific fungal pathogen is not identified. For deep- seated and systemic infections, a combination of diagnostic tests may be required in order to obtain a definitive diagnosis. These include microscopy to detect fungal elements, culture, detection of circulating antigens and antibodies, and molecular tests. More recently, molecular and proteomic approaches have increasingly dominated the conventional identification of pathogenic yeasts and, to some extent, filamentous fungi, since traditional methods are time consuming. More importantly, conventional methodologies have failed to identify common organisms that display uncharacteristic profiles, or fungal pathogens that are rarely encountered. The ‘gold standard’ for the definitive diagnosis of fungal disease is histology or culture of the fungal pathogen from a clinical specimen. A specimen will routinely be inoculated onto several different types of media, and then incubated at specific conditions and temperatures for up to twenty-one days. Media plates will be examined periodically for growth, and staff will try to identify the fungus using both macroscopic and microscopic morphologies. The few biochemical tests available, e.g. the urease test, can be helpful in identification, most often for yeast species. Microscopy of fungal isolates, histopathological examination of tissue, and fungal specific stains play fundamental roles in the diagnosis of infection for the variety of fungi that cause disease. The most common stain for identifying fungal elements from a cultured isolate is lactophenol fuschin/aniline blue stain. Figure 10.1 depicts the fruiting body (conidiophore) of Aspergillus fumigatus species complex, the most prevalent fungal species responsible for invasive aspergillosis (IA) in severely immunocompromised individuals. Figure 10.2 illustrates the phenotype of a three-day old colony. Serological tests are beneficial when non-culture based diagnosis of fungal disease is required. Complement fixation is predominantly used to diagnose endemic mycoses, e.g. coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, and histoplasmosis.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to estimate maize silage hygienic sanitary parameters, contamination with mycotoxins in dairy farms in Lithuania. In 2011–2012 maize silage samples were collected from 20 dairy farms: prior to ensiling and 3 and 8 months after ensiling. In maize samples, prior to ensiling, L. monocytogenes was detected 25.0 % and after 3 months of ensiling – 10 %. Average of yeast and filamentous fungi in raw material samples were respectively – 71.39 ± 32.17 and 47.67 ± 18.31 CFU/g, after 3 months – 50.06 ± 16.09 CFU/g and 28.27 ± 13.18, after 8 months – 213.81 ± 55.98 and 215.08 ± 56.16 CFU/g. In raw maize dominated Fusarium spp. and in silage – Aspergillus, Penicillium spp. Average of lactic acid bacteria – 189.01 ± 57.79 (3 months after ensilage) and 436.11 ± 93.97 CFU/g (8 months after ensilage). Compared prior to ensilage and 3 and 8 months after ensilage maize samples, higher mycotoxins concentrations of DON – 36.96 % (P &lt; 0.05) and ZEA – 77.32 % (P &lt; 0.05) were detected in 3 month after ensilage, T-2 toxin – 72.69 % (P &lt; 0.05), AFL – 94.31 % (P &lt; 0.05) were detected in 8 month after ensilage. Concentration of OTA was higher 34.99 % (P &gt; 0.05) in samples after 3 months of ensiling. Dry matter and pH respectively: prior to ensiling – 36.96 % and 5.26, 3 months after ensiling – 33.17 % and 3.84, 8 months after ensiling – 40.52 % and 3.91. The current results indicate the presence of yeast, viable fungi spores and mycotoxins AFL (total), ZEA, DON, T-2 and OTA contamination in maize silage in Lithuania.
