  abstract   Cranial mucormycosis occurred in a 20-year-old man suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Absidia corymbifera was proved by cultivation of nasal smears. Mycosis was influenced quickly by Amphotericin B administered intravenously in spite of the fatal basic condition. Post mortem Absidia corymbifera was proved by cultivation and histology in gangrenous nasal and paranasal mucosa.

VÁŇOVÁ M. (1985): Genus Absidia van Tiegh. (Mucorales) in Czechoslovakia. III.  Česká Mykologie 39(2): 85-96   (published: 1985)
  abstract   Average number of isolates of keratinophilic fungi was 2.3 to 2.8 times higher in soil and nesting material from rodents’ burrows compared to cultivated or uncultivated soils, and 3.6 times higher than in plant samples from rodent paths. Besides common soil keratinophilic fungi (e.g., Trichophyton ajelloi, T. terrestre, Microsporum cookei, M. gypseum, Chrysosporium spp.), the dermatophyte Microsporum persicolor was found in 6% of soil and 44.4% of nesting samples, most often in burrows with remains of Clethrionomys glareolus and Apodemus sylvaticus.

  abstract   On the basis of my studies (Černá 1966, Váňová 1968), I reappraised all taxonomic characters used in the systematics of the genus Absidia. From the taxonomic point of view, I considered that the shape and size of the sporangiospores are the most important whilst I would stress the value of the hitherto underrated character of the columella shape and its projections.

  abstract   A new species of the genus Absidia v. Tiegh., A. macrospora sp. nov., isolated from soil samples is described. It belongs to the group of species of the genus Absidia with globose sporangiospores. It is closely related to the species A. glauca Hagem and A. coerulea Bain., but can easily be distinguished by the size of the sporangiospores and by the shape of the columellae. A key to the species of the genus Absidia with globose sporangiospores is appended.

  abstract   A case of mycosis in a trepanation cavity after tympanoplasty is described. The causative agent was Absidia corymbifera, a Mucoraceae member not previously reported in Czech or international medical literature in such a case. Treatment included Amphotericin B infusion and local application, resulting in cure after 8 years of symptoms.

MOUBASHER A.H., ABDEL-SATER M.A., SOLIMAN Z.S.M. (2018): Diversity of yeasts and filamentous fungi in mud from hypersaline and freshwater bodies in Egypt.   [fungal diversity, alkalinity, Wadi El-Natrun, lakes, Ibrahimia Canal, River Nile, molecular characterisation, ITS]  Czech Mycology 70(1): 1-32   (published: 26th January, 2018)
  abstract   The diversity of yeasts and filamentous fungi in muds from hypersaline alkaline lakes of Wadi ElNatrun and fresh water of the Nile River and Ibrahimia Canal was evaluated. The mean pH of saline water mud was 9.21, but fresh water mud registered 8.07. A total of 193 species (two varieties were distinguished in two of them) belonging to 67 genera were recovered from both muds investigated on DRBC (55 genera, 164 species), DG18 (36 genera, 117 species) and MY50G (23 genera, 76 species) media. From these, 17 species assigned to 12 genera were yeasts and 176 species and 2 varieties assigned to 55 genera were filamentous fungi. The highest numbers of fungal propagules were recovered on DRBC from freshwater mud, while the lowest on MY50G from saline water mud. Yeasts constituted a small proportion of all propagules from the two mud types on all three media, whereas filamentous fungi were the major component. However, freshwater mud samples yielded higher numbers of yeast genera and species using all three media. Candida was common in freshwater mud and rare in saline water mud, while Meyerozyma and Rhodotorula were infrequent in both muds. The remaining yeast species were recovered from freshwater mud only. Aspergillus (46 species) was the most common genus of filamentous fungi encountered in all samples, ranging in frequency from 39.82% to 96.62%; A. terreus, A. flavipes and A. niger dominated in both types of mud. Cladosporium (9 species), Fusarium (8 species), Penicillium (18 species) and Scopulariopsis (7 species) were encountered in both types of mud. Notably, 47 filamentous species were isolated only on the media with lower water activity (DG18, MY50G).

ABDEL-SATER M.A., MOUBASHER A.H., SOLIMAN Z.S.M. (2016): Diversity of filamentous and yeast fungi in soil of citrus and grapevine plantations in the Assiut region, Egypt.   [Mycobiota, biodiversity, phenotypic and biochemical characterisation, ITS sequence, Coniochaeta canina, Aspergillus stella-maris]  Czech Mycology 68(2): 183-214   (published: 20th December, 2016)
  abstract   An extensive survey of soil mycobiota on citrus and grapevine plantations in Sahel-Saleem City, Assiut Governorate, Egypt was carried out using the dilution-plate method and 2 isolation media at 25 °C. Sixty-four genera and 195 species of filamentous fungi and 10 genera and 13 species of yeasts were recovered. A higher diversity (number of genera and species) and gross total counts were recovered from citrus than from grapevine soil. The peak of filamentous fungi recovered from both soils was found to be in February. Aspergillus (45 species) was the most dominant genus; A. ochraceus predominated in citrus plantations, while A. niger and A. aculeatus in grapevine. The Penicillium count came second after Aspergillus in citrus (23 species) and after Aspergillus and Fusarium in grapevine (11 species).Penicillium citrinum, P. ochrochloron and P. olsonii were more common in citrus plantations, but they were replaced by P. oxalicum in grapevine soil. Fusarium (19 species) was represented in 88.9–100% of both soils on both media; F. solani predominated in both soils, while F. incarnatum came next in citrus, and F. babinda and F. oxysporum in grapevine. Humicola (3 species) with the dominant H. fuscoatra was recorded in 61.1–83.3% of soil of both plantations, while Talaromyces (with T. purpureogenus followed by T. pinophilus being the most common) was recorded in 83.3–100% on DRBC and 38.9–50% on DYM from the soil of plantations of both crops. Volutella (5 species) was common in citrus but missing from grapevine soil. The present study reveals that hyaline fungi predominated over dark-coloured ones. Yeasts comprised only minor proportions in both soils (maximum 0.5%). They showed their peak in the soil of citrus plantations in April and in grapevine in February. All species were recovered in one or two samples only. Diutina catenulata, Debaryomyces hansenii, Galactomyces (3 species), Hanseniaspora occidentalis, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Meyerozyma caribbica, and Schwanniomyces pseudopolymorphus were encountered in citrus only, while Cryptococcus laurentii, Pichia kudriavzevii, Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Rhodotorula sp. in grapevine only. Physiological and growth characteristics were obtained for most of the recovered yeasts.

ABDEL-HAFEZ S.I.I., ABO-ELYOUSR K.A.M., ABDEL-RAHIM I.R. (2015): Leaf surface and endophytic fungi associated with onion leaves and their antagonistic activity against Alternaria porri.   [phyllosphere, phylloplane, endophytes, purple blotch disease, antagonism]  Czech Mycology 67(1): 1-22   (published: 10th April, 2015)
  abstract   Sixty-eight fungal species belonging to 29 genera were isolated as leaf surface and endophytic fungi from healthy and purple blotch diseased onion leaves. The fungal populations associated with diseased onion leaves (1.360 × 103 CFU/g leaf in the phyllosphere, 2.614 CFU/leaf segment in the phylloplane and 1.324 CFU/leaf segment in the surface-sterilised diseased leaves) were higher than those in healthy samples (0.804 × 103 CFU in the phyllosphere, 1.184 CFU in the phylloplane, and 0.35 CFU as endophytes). Endophytic fungi of healthy leaves were represented by 12 genera and 15 species, while fungi of surface-sterilised diseased leaves included 17 species from 13 genera. The mycobiota associated with surface-sterilised diseased leaves were different from the endophytic fungi of healthy samples, whereas the disease may stimulate colonisation of opportunistic fungi causing secondary infections such as Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium spp. In contrast, healthy leaves were a source of antagonistic endophytic fungi such as Trichoderma harzianum and T. koningii. Testing the antagonistic effect of 91 fungal isolates against Alternaria porri showed that nine isolates of Trichoderma produced the highest suppressive potential (73.1%) depending on competition and mycoparasitism. Epicoccum nigrum and Penicillium oxalicum exhibited antibiosis against A. porri producing a 12 mm broad inhibition zone. In conclusion, the quantitative and qualitative compositions of fungi associated with onion leaves were distinctly influenced by A. porri infection. Mycobiota associated with asymptomatic onion leaves such as Epicoccum nigrum, Penicillium oxalicum and Trichoderma harzianum are a natural source of eco-friendly bioagents. They showed an effective antagonistic potential against A. porri, and may thus be applied as an alternative to fungicides.

LYSKOVÁ P. (2007): Saprotrophic microscopic fungi and dermatophytes accompanying infections of the skin and nails of patients in the Moravian-Silesian Region (Czech Republic).   [saprotrophic microscopic fungi, dermatophytes, superficial mycose, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis]  Czech Mycology 59(1): 125-137   (published: 28th June, 2007)
  abstract   Over a 19-month period, the spectrum of saprotrophic microscopic fungi isolated from 245 patients in the Moravian-Silesian Region (Czech Republic) was analysed. Saprotrophic microscopic fungi were isolated from nails (90 %) and skin (10 %). None was isolated from hair. The material was the most frequently positive for the presence of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis (32.6 %) followed by Cladosporium sphaerospermum (5.3 %), Aspergillus versicolor (4.0 %), Geomyces pannorum (4.0 %) and others.Dermatophytes and saprotrophic microscopic fungi were both studied within one year and represented 1110 isolates. Dermatophytes were isolated in most of the cases and represented 943 isolations (85 %). The saprotrophic microscopic fungus Scopulariopsis brevicaulis is a known causative agent of onychomycosis. In the evaluation including dermatophytes it ended in the 3rd position with 5.2 % of isolations behind Trichophyton rubrum (80 %) and T. mentagrophytes (8 %).

  abstract   A survey on airborne thermophilous fungi at a farmhouse in Chennai, India was made using an Andersen 2-stage viable sampler for the period from January 1997 to December 1997 at fortnight intervals. A total of 582 colonies belonging to 17 species were recorded. The species Emericella nidulans was dominant with an average of 60.2 CFU/m³ of air followed by Aspergillus fumigatus and Thermomyces lanuginosus with 34.7 CFU/m³ of air and 32.2 CFU/m³ of air, respectively. The total respirable fraction recorded was 58.4 %.

NOVÁKOVÁ A., PIŽL V. (2003): Mycoflora in the intestine of Eisenia andrei (Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae) and in vermiculture substrates.   [cattle manure, saprotrophic and cellulolytic microfungi, earthworms]  Czech Mycology 55(1-2): 83-102   (published: 23rd July, 2003)
  abstract   Mycoflora of three commercial vermiculture systems based on cattle manure derived sub­ strates and Eisenia andrei earthworms was studied using several isolation methods. A total of 172 taxa of saprotrophic micromycetes were isolated (19 taxa of Zygomycetes, 9 taxa of Ascomycetes and 144 taxa of mitosporic fungi). Aspergillus fumigatus was the most frequent microfungal species in the intestine of Eisenia andrei. In vermicuture substrates, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus were among species isolated very frequently by the soil dilution method, while Rhizopus stolonifer was estimated as frequent species using the soil washing isolation technique.

NOVOTNÝ D. (2002): Contribution to the knowledge of the mycoflora in roots of oaks with and without tracheomycotic symptoms.   [Quercus robur, Q. petraea, Q. rubra, oak decline, ophiostomatoid fungi, Penicillium, Czech Republic, Moravia]  Czech Mycology 53(3): 211-222   (published: 10th January, 2002)
  abstract   The mycoflora of roots of three species of oak (Quercus robur, Q. petraea, Q. rubra) from two localities near Moravské Budějovice (southwest Moravia, Czech Republic) with and without tracheomycotic symptoms was studied. Fifty-seven species of fungi were identified from the samples. The most frequently isolated were Fusarium solani, Penicillium gl and icola, P. glabrum, P. simplicissimum and Acremonium curvulum. In the roots of trees with tracheomycotic symptoms two species of ophiostomatoid fungi were recorded. Abiotic condiontions (insufieciency of precipitation and higher average temperature) are considered to be primary reasons of oak decline.

HÝSEK J., BROŽOVÁ J. (2001): The role of some saprophytic micromycetes and fungus Micromucor ramannianus var. ramannianus in forest soil.   [humic horizon, soil fungi, saprophytic micromycetes, Micromucorramannianusvar. ramannianus, biological soil functions, respiration, ammonification, nitrification]  Czech Mycology 53(2): 161-171   (published: 20th February, 2002)
  abstract   Different saprophytic micromycetes were isolated from the humic horizon (H-A 02) of different types of forest soils (barren l and of reforested waste dumps, cambisol of spruce, birch, European mountain ash, and blue spruce forests) in several areas (at Most in the Krušné hory (Ore Mts.), Jizerské hory (Izera Mts.)). Besides the spectrum of common species of soil micromycetes (Penicillium spp., Humicola spp., Trichoderma spp., Paecilomyces spp., Scopulariopsis spp., Aureobasidium spp., Mucor spp., Absidia spp.), the fungus Micromucor ramannianus (Möller) Arx var. ramannianus (Mortierella ramanniana (Möller) Linneman, Mucor ramannianus Möller) was regularly isolated from all types of soils, except barren soils of was te dumps. The biological quality of forest soils in connection with other biological characteristics was evaluated in relation to the presence and quantity of this fungus in forest soils. Basic biological processes (basal and potential respiration, ammonification, nitrification) show an increased intensity in forest soils in which the proportion of Micromucorramannianus v. ramannianus was not present in the soil of the worst biological quality (lower values of biological soil parameters), e.g. in of was te dumps. It is a topic for discussion whe the r this fungus can also be an indicator of environmental pollution.

(1994): The effect of the heat-stable and chloroform-extractable secondary metabolites of filamentous fungi on the respiratory tract cilia movement of one-day-old chickens in vitro.   [Fungi, cilia, trachea, chickens, metabolites, bronchitis]  Czech Mycology 47(3): 215-221   (published: 17th June, 1994)
  abstract   The ciliostatic activity of the heat-stable (100°C/10 min.) and chloroform-extractable metabolites of 63 strains of filamentous fungi - growing on the liquid medium - on tracheal cilia of one-day-old chickens in vitro was evaluated. Twenty two (34.9%) from the investigated strains produced ciliostatic metabolites, 4.7%, 7.9%, 3.1%, resp. 19.0% of the strains stopped the movement of cilia after 24, 48, 72, resp. 144 hours. The results are discussed in connection with chronic bronchitis of people working with moulded materials or living in moulded dwellings.

NOVÁKOVÁ-ŘEPOVÁ A. (1992): The growth of soil micromycetes in the media containing herbicides Basagran, Labuctril 25 and Oxytril CM.  Česká Mykologie 46(1-2): 86-92   (published: 1st April, 1993)
  abstract   The changes of fungal growth in laboratory experiments (estimation of mycelial biomass and colony diameter) were studied by cultivation of 10 species of soil fungi on media with different concentrations of the herbicides Basagran, Labuctril 25 and Oxytril CM. The subject fungi responded to increased concentrations of herbicide in different ways. Cladosporium herbarum (colony diameter) and Penicillium janthinellum (mycelial biomass) were the only investigations to show a similar response to all the herbicides. Penicillium janthinellum (mycelial biomass) was the only example of a significant stimulation of fungal growth. Changes in colony pigmentation and sporulation were also recorded.

ČERNÝ A. (1985): Taxonomic study in the Phellinus pini - complex.  Česká Mykologie 39(2): 71-84   (published: 1985)
  abstract   In this article, which is the last continuation of previous contributions (Váňová 1980, 1983), descriptions and identification keys are given for intraspecific taxa of the genus Absidia found in Czechoslovakia. The treated species have globose sporangiospores: A. coerulea Bain., A. glauca Hagem, and A. macrospora Váňová. Doubtful species include A. septata v. Tiegh and A. scabra Cocconi. Based on stable sporangiospore size across various media, the variety A. coerulea var. saccardoi is separated. Other features do not distinguish the taxa; they form normal zygospores upon copulation.

MORAVEC J. (1983): Several Operculate Discomycetes from Central and east Africa.  Česká Mykologie 37(4): 237-251   (published: 1983)
  abstract   Mycopathological report is presented on a case of carditis in disseminated mucormycosis, the 25th such case according to literature and a second one where Absidia corymbifera was proved by cultivation. A 47-year-old man suffering from chronic myeloic leukaemia, developed bone marrow atrophy after cytostatic treatment, and died from a serious muoormycotic pneumonia; dissemination of mycosis was found in the heart and kidneys. Myocardial lesion prevailed in pancarditis, and mural endocarditis was quite unique.

  abstract   In three forest sites of the Nature reserve “Voděradské bučiny” soil microfungi were studied in the period from September 1978 to July 1979. A total of 66 species was identified, 9 of which belonged to Mucoraceae and 57 to Moniliales. The most common species were Penicillium albidum Sopp emend. Fass. (all sites) and Trichoderma viride Pers. ex S. F. Gray (beech forest, beech forest with Dicranum), Absidia cylindrospora Hagem (beech forest), P. spinulosum Thom (beech forest with Dicranum, spruce forest), P. chrysogenum Samson, Hadlok et Stolk (beech forest, spruce forest). The greatest number of species was found in the spruce forest. The highest biomass values of mycelium and of spores were ascertained in stony soil of the beech forest with Dicranum scoparium.

FRAGNER P. (1981): Further experience with Castellani’s „Water cultures“.  Česká Mykologie 35(3): 161-164   (published: 1981)
  abstract   Microscopic fungi survive in sterile, distilled water at laboratory temperature for various lengths of time, from less than 11 months (Kloeckera apiculata) to more than 11 years (Sporothrix schenckii). The survival times of some species as well as their spontaneous variability are given. Castellani’s “water cultures” are only an emergency solution for maintaining live collections. Some yeast species which are morphologically or biochemically similar have also similar survival times in water.

During the last 15 years, fungi were cultivated from the ear swabs of 472 patients with various ear diseases, mostly otitis externa. The most frequent yeasts in otomycoses were Candida parapsilosis and C. albicans, while the most frequent Aspergillus species were A. fumigatus, A. flavus, and A. niger. Clinical pictures and treatment of some external otitides are briefly mentioned.

  abstract   A new record of dry rot fungus Serpula lacrimans (Wulf. ex Fr.) Schroet. on the trunk bases of two living trees of Norway Spruce Picea abies (L.) Karst. in the Botanical Garden in Průhonice near Prague is described. Differences between Serpula lacrimans and Serpula himantioides (Fr. ex Fr.) Karst. and the phytopathological significance of the new record are discussed.

FASSATIOVÁ O. (1978): Soil micromycetes in abandoned fields in Bohemian Karst.  Česká Mykologie 32(4): 226-234   (published: 1978)
  abstract   An analysis of soil micromycetes in two abandoned fields in the Bohemian Karst during 1976–1977 revealed 64 species in the younger field (7 years) and 50 in the older (50 years). Dominant species in both were: Penicillium albidum, Fusarium solani, Humicola grisea, Absidia cylindrospora, and Mortierella sp. (section Polycephala). The best isolation method used nylon gauze buried in soil.

  abstract   A case of mucormycotic abortion caused by Rhizopus cohnii Berlese et De Toni (Mucorales) is described in cattle. The paper is documented by description and photos of the culture. There are also photos of hyphae on native preparation from the abomasum content of the aborted foetus and from the histological finding of hyphae in the placenta.

JANEČKOVÁ V., FASSATIOVÁ O., DANIEL M., KŘIVANEC K. (1977): Findings of soil microscopic fungi in the Himalaya Mountains (Nepal).  Česká Mykologie 31(4): 206-213   (published: 1977)
  abstract   Within the framework of the 1973 Czechoslovak expedition in the Makalu Mountain region in the Himalayas (East Nepal) a total of 43 soil samples were collected for mycologic examination. Fourteen genera with 37 species of soil fungi were isolated from the samples. Though the spectrum of the isolated microscopic fungi was not wide, it contained 2 genera (Acremonium and Tolypocladium) and 15 species described for the first time amongst the Himalayan mycoflora. Some of the species were collected in the area for the second time. Among the keratinophilic microscopic fungi, Chrysosporium lucknowense was isolated. The investigation and the collection of soil samples took place at the altitudes of 1000–4900 m in the sites where the presence of terrestrial mammals was established, or direct from lair openings. The aim was to detect potentially pathogenic or keratinophilic microscopic fungi. Various species of microscopic fungi were isolated for the first time from the extreme climatic conditions of the high mountains characterized by an increased occurrence of UV radiation, great temperature fluctuations, strong air flow, a decrease in the air pressure and oxygen content and extreme abiotic and biotic factors influencing the specific existence of the organisms.

  abstract   Absidia ramosa is reported for the first time in Czechoslovakia. The fungus was isolated from cases of fatal mycosis in cattle fed with bakery waste. Literature on global occurrences of the species in soil, feed, and as animal/human pathogen is reviewed.

ČAPEK A., HANČ O. (1974): Biotransformation of steroids-chemotaxonomic characteric of lower fungi.  Česká Mykologie 28(3): 169-172   (published: 1974)
  abstract   The mycoflora of southernmost Slovakia, between Nové Zámky, Komárno, and Štúrovo, differs significantly from the rest of the country and resembles Pannonian regions. The author reports 54 herbarium-archived species, including many rare taxa. The area's rich diversity of gilled fungi and Geastrum species is emphasized.

  abstract   The effects of four insecticides (carbaryl, bromophos, γ-HCH, and fenitrothion) on Tyrophagus putrescentiae mites and selected fungal cultures were tested. Fenitrothion effectively eliminated mites while allowing continued fungal growth. The goal was to find an insecticide that would eliminate mites in fungal collections without harming the fungi.

  abstract   Rhizopus cohnii Berlese et De Toni was microscopically and culturally confirmed in a pig liver. This is, to the authors' knowledge, the first such case in Czechoslovakia and perhaps only the second globally. The pathological, histological, and mycological findings are detailed. The authors support Boedijn’s view that similar species like R. suinus, R. arrhizus, and R. oryzae are conspecific with R. cohnii. The paper also summarizes previous cases of mucormycosis in animals and humans, and compares the isolate with related taxa.

  abstract   Micromycetes isolated from uranium mines in Příbram include frequent pathogenic species like Aspergillus fumigatus and A. flavus and rare saprophytes such as Scopulariopsis acremonium, Geotrichum microsporum, Humicola brunnea var. africana and Tritirachium sp. nov. Isolations were made from various substrates and miners’ laryngeal swabs.

  abstract   A total of 122 species of soil micromycetes were identified in 1963 in Ždánický les and the Pouzdřany steppe (South Moravia), including 25 species of Mucorales and 57 of Moniliales. Species diversity was proportional to soil temperature but not to humidity. Steppe was dominated by Aspergillus and Fusarium; forests by Chrysosporium pannorum.
