Nomenclatural considerations in naming species of Aspergillus and its teleomorphs (2007)
The nomenclature of Aspergillus is important in many fields of research and therefore the strategies for stable and efficient naming are important. The conservation of species names as accepted by...
Systemic mycosis due to Aspergillus deflectus in a dog (2000)
Robinson, W. F., Connole, D. M., King, T., Pitt, J. I., Moss, S. M.
A 4-year-old, entire female, German Shepherd Dog was referred with a 3-month history of right foreleg lameness that partially responded to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial therapy....
The influences of glucose, sorbitol, and NaCl in a basal enumeration medium at water activities (aw) from 0.82 to 0.97 on colony formation by sublethally heat-stressed Wallemia sebi conidia were...
The ability of sublethally heat-stressed aleuriospores of Chrysosporium farinicola to form colonies on yeast extract-glucose agar (YGA) supplemented with sufficient glucose, sorbitol, glycerol, and...
Penicillium viridicatum, Penicillium verrucosum, and production of ochratoxin A.
The taxonomy of the important mycotoxigenic species Penicillium viridicatum and P. verrucosum was reviewed to clarify disagreements relating to the three P. viridicatum groups erected by Ciegler and...
Selective medium for isolation of Fusarium species and dematiaceous hyphomycetes from cereals.
A selective medium containing 2 micrograms of dichloran per ml, 200 micrograms of chloramphenicol per ml, and 1.5% bacteriological peptone was developed for the isolation of Fusarium species and...
Dichloran-rose bengal medium for enumeration and isolation of molds from foods.
King, A D, Hocking, A D, Pitt, J I
Overgrowth by spreading molds such as Rhizopus and Mucor species is a problem with fungal enumeration media used for foods. Thirty-one antifungal compounds were surveyed for their ability to...
Synonymy of Metschnikowia pulcherrima and Torulopsis burgeffiana
Miller, M. W., Johnson, Ellen R., Pitt, J. I.
Torulopsis burgeffiana is placed in the genus Metschnikowia because it has been shown to have a perfect stage corresponding with this genus. Due to the characteristic shape of the ascus and...
Taxonomy of the Yeast Genus Metschnikowia: a Correction and a New Variety1
Metschnikowia isolates from ponds on Chatham Island, New Zealand, previously erroneously reported as M. zobellii, are described herein as M. bicuspidata var. chathamia var. n.
Dichloran-glycerol medium for enumeration of xerophilic fungi from low-moisture foods.
A low water activity (alpha omega) medium (0.95 alpha omega) containing 18% (wt/wt) glycerol and 2 micrograms of dichloran per ml was developed for enumerating the fungal flora of dried and semidried...
Heat Resistance of Xerophilic Fungi Based on Microscopical Assessment of Spore Survival
Pitt, J. I., Christian, J. H. B.
An improved viable counting technique was developed to facilitate study of the heat resistance of fungal spores. Spores were heated and subsequently incubated in the same medium. After germination,...
Water Relations of Xerophilic Fungi Isolated from Prunes
Pitt, J. I., Christian, J. H. B.
The predominant spoilage fungi of dried and high-moisture prunes were members of the Aspergillus glaucus group and Xeromyces bisporus. Chrysosporium spp. were also important. At the mean pH of prune...
