ISMAIL M.A., TALIGOOLA H.K., NAKAMYA R. (2008): Mycobiota associated with baby food products imported into Uganda with special reference to aflatoxigenic aspergilli and aflatoxins.   [mycobiota, aflatoxigenic aspergilli, aflatoxins, imported baby foods]  Czech Mycology 60(1): 75-89   (published: 4th July, 2008)
  abstract   Five baby food products imported into Uganda were collected from different shops and investigated for contamination by fungi and aflatoxins. Forty-two species belonging to 21 genera in addition to some unidentified fungi were recovered on dichloran rose bengal chloramphenicol agar. Cornflakes followed by Cerelac were the most heavily contaminated products while Heinz mixed cereal was the least. Cladosporium sphaerospermum, Fusarium tricinctum and Penicillium oxalicum were the most predominant fungi. On the other hand, using Aspergillus flavus/parasiticus agar, 34 % of the samples were positive for aflatoxigenic aspergilli. Aflatoxigenic aspergilli constituted 78.8 % of all aspergilli and 4.9 % of all contaminating fungi. Samples from all products were contaminated with aflatoxigenic aspergilli, but samples of Cerelac were the most, while those of Porridge oats were the least. Aflatoxin analysis of food samples revealed that 9 out of 13 analysed samples were contaminated with aflatoxins in the range of 1–10 ppb (6 samples) and 11–20 ppb (3 samples). Only samples of Cerelac were aflatoxin–free, although aflatoxigenic aspergilli were detected in some samples. It was noted that samples of Cerelac had the least moisture content compared to the other products. Contaminated foods constitute a health hazard to human consumption. These foods, especially those for babies, must therefore be examined at regular intervals in order to assess their hygienic quality.

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 %).

Colloquium "Fungi as Model Organisms in Research and Biotechnology - II", Olomouc, Czech Republic, September 5th–6th, 2002.  Czech Mycology 55(1-2): 103-149   (published: 23rd July, 2003)
  abstract   The colloquium was a continuation of a previous scientific meeting that took place in Olomouc in 1999 (Czech Mycology 52: 139-178, 2000). It was organised by the joint Commission for Experimental Mycology of the Czechoslovak Microbiological Society and the Czech Scientific Society for Mycology together with the Institute of Biology, Faculty of Medicine of Palacký University, Olomouc. The purpose of the colloquium was to provide a platform for a broad discussion on the use of fungi as model organisms in both basic and applied research. The programme of the colloquium was divided into four parts dealing with the following topics: biochemistry, biotechnology and genetics of fungi; phytopathogenic fungi; fungi pathogenic to humans and animals; and mycology of food and mycotoxins. Each topic was opened with a plenary lecture (30 min.), followed by short communications (10 min.) and accompanied by poster presentations. Besides five plenary lectures, 20 short communications and 24 posters were presented. In total 42 researchers took part in the colloquium and discussed various topics important for the further direction of experimental mycology. Abstracts of the contributions are given here.

Present state, modern methods and perspectives in Penicillium study.  Czech Mycology 48(3): 225-229   (published: 22nd December, 1995)
  abstract   Abstracts from the Penicillium Seminar, June 9, 1994, Prague, Czech Republic. The seminar was held by Czech Scientific Society for Mycology, Division of Micromycetes. At this one-day regional seminar ten Czech and Slovak scientists presented the papers cited below.

MOLITORIS H.P. (1995): Fungi in biotechnology. Past, present, future.   [Fungi, biotechnology, past, present, future]  Czech Mycology 48(1): 53-65   (published: 16th May, 1995)
  abstract   From multiple uses of fungi in early historic times, “early biotechnological processes” developed. Fungi were used here already e.g. for production of cheese, bread, wine, beer and other foodstuff. Based on these processes, fungi today have become one of the most important group of organisms in modern technology, where food, fodder and various metabolites such as antibiotics, enzymes, steroids etc. are produced on an industrial scale. An equally important role of fungi in biotechnology is also to be expected for the future where - in addition to existing uses - fungi will be increasingly used employing modern methods such as genetic engineering and will also new applications as in pollution control, biological control of pests, microbial leaching and even biotechnology.

NOVOTNÁ J. (1989): Mikroskopische pilze auf Zysten Globodera rostochiensis Wollenw.  Česká Mykologie 43(2): 96-107   (published: 2nd May, 1989)
  abstract   The mycoflora of the potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis Wollenweber 1925 was studied from four selected sites in Bohemia. A total of 36 fungal species were isolated. Opportunistic parasites included: Rhinocladiella anceps, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Cylindrocarpon sp., Humicola grisea, Gliocladium roseum and Phialophora fastigiata. Some fungi occurred widely across all sites, others were site-specific.

  abstract   One new genus, Amicodisca (typified by Dasyscypha brdensis Vel.) and six new species are described: Albotricha lupini, Ciliolarina corcontica, Cystopezizella cupulincola, Hamatocanthoscypha acericola, Hyaloscypha cupularum, and Orbilia ebuli. One new combination (Phaeohelotium terrestre) is proposed.

BETINA V. (1986): Fungi in biotechnology-history, present times, perspectives.  Česká Mykologie 40(2): 65-73   (published: 10th May, 1986)
  abstract   A review of applications of fungi in biotechnology from the old ages to the present times is presented. Origins of vine and beer fermentation as well as leavened bread making are lost in the mist of antiquity and records of the production of Roquefort cheese go back about a thousand years. On the other hand, commercial production of yeast began in the last century and the production of single-cell proteins (SCP) was born in our century. Nowadays, fungi are further used in commercial production of enzymes, organic acids, vitamins, antibiotics and plant growth regulators, in biotransformations of steroids and antibiotics, in the ephedrin synthesis and in preparation of other pharmacologically useful substances. Great achievements were obtained by applying classical genetic methods. Possibilities of the use of protoplast fusion and recombination, gene amplification or recombinant DNA technology using restriction enzymes are discussed.

  abstract   68 species of microscopic fungi were isolated from the air in the building of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in České Budějovice. 16 species were opportunistic, 12 allergenic, and 13 mycotoxin producers. 8 species were reported as air-borne fungi in literature.

FASSATIOVÁ O. (1969): Bodenmikromyceten im Gebirge Ždánický les (Steinitzer Wald) und in der Steppe bei Pouzdřany (Pausram).  Česká Mykologie 23(4): 243-252   (published: 15th October, 1969)
  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.
