Calorimetric methods for the study of fungi on building materials
The aim of this project is to study the fungal growth habits on building materials as a function of humidity, temperature and other environmental parameters. The method of calorimetry is used as a way to quantify fungal activity on building materials. Calorimetry is a general, but sensitive method …

Indicators of Mold Growth in Indoor Environments
… Carbon dioxide serves as a good marker for fungal activity, but is difficult to attribute to mold growth when studying non-closed loop systems. Many VOCs were collected but detection limits were often too high for the quantities collected.

Forensic taphonomy: investigating the post mortem biochemical properties of cartilage and fungal succession as potential forensic tools
… The second component of this study examined the fungal activity associated with trotters buried below ground. Results indicate that fungal growth was considerably influenced by soil chemistry and changes in the environment. Fungal colonisation did not demonstrate temporal patterns of succession. …

Selective Borylations of Carbon-Carbon pi-Bonds
… dissertation will cover the preliminary anti-fungal activity of a novel oxaborole scaffold. We investigated the borylation of the electron withdrawing allenoate scaffold. Reports in the literature were scarce and limited in the scope of the work or required the use of less available diboron …

An Analysis of the Response of Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans to Caspofungin
… Caspofungin is a recently introduced antifungal compound that has good efficacy against these fungi with minimal side effects. The aim of the work presented here was to characterise the response of A. fumigatus and C. albicans to caspofungin. The results obtained demonstrated that …

The Breakdown of Plant Cell Biomass by Fungi
… indicated contained the necessary nutrients for fungal growth. Incubated in a suitable manner all three fungal species were able to grow on C. roseus and D. carota plant cell biomass in addition to material which had undergone methanol extraction or a re-autoclaving process to remove soluble …

Virulence and Biofilm Formation In Candida Albicans Are Inhibited By Short Peptide Subunits of Entv
… albicans</em>, the most clinically significant fungal pathogen, commonly causes topical mucosal infections such as oral cavity and urogenital tract infections. It also less frequently causes severe invasive and bloodstream infections. Invasive infections are most prevalent amongst patients with …

Analysis of the effect of atorvastatin on the virulence of Fungal Pathogens
Fungal pathogens of humans cause harmful infections and can cause diverse diseases in humans which range from superficial skin infections to life-threatening diseases. The opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans causes a wide range of diseases primarily in immunocompromised individuals. Aspergillus …

Comparative genomics of bacteria from amphibian skin associated with inhibition of an amphibian fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Chytridiomycosis is a fungal skin disease in amphibians that is primarily caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). We analyzed whole genome sequences of 40 bacterial isolates that had been previously cultured from the skin of four amphibian species from Virginia, USA, and tested for their …

Investigating the variation in susceptibility between Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes in response to Botrytis cinerea infection
… (Col-0, RLD and No-0) to the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea was investigated using detached leaf infection assays, expression profiling of genes known to play a role in defence against B. cinerea, and by generating F1 hybrids from the three ecotypes. The infection assays …

Development of Novel Anti-microbial Plant Essential-Oil Treatments to Reduce the Postharvest Incidence of Botrytis cinerea of Strawberries
… has indicated that they have significant anti-fungal activity. Very little information is available regarding the use of essential-oil compounds for postharvest treatments on California strawberries to reduce the incidence of <em>B. cinerea</em>. The primary objective of this study was to …

Microwave-Assisted Extraction for the Isolation of Trace Systemic Fungicides from Woody Plant Material
… is a systemic fungicide, used to combat the fungal pathogen Ophiostoma ulmi, the casual agent of Dutch elm disease (DED). It was successfully extracted from treated Ulmus americana (elm tree) using MAE with a percent recovery of 395% in 15 minutes. Until now, techniques for rapid and …
