TL;DR: Allergic fungal sinusitis caused by Trichoderma longibrachiatum is described in a patient with a history of atopy and asthma and points out that careful scrutiny of direct smears is required to ensure that fungal structures are not misinterpreted.
Abstract: We describe allergic fungal sinusitis caused by Trichoderma longibrachiatum in a patient with a history of atopy and asthma. A Gram stain of a sinus biopsy specimen was initially thought to contain yeast cells, but when Trichoderma was recovered in culture, these cells were subsequently recognized as chlamydospores. The patient was successfully managed with a combination of sinus lavage, oral corticosteroids, itraconazole, and allergen immunotherapy. This case also points out that careful scrutiny of direct smears is required to ensure that fungal structures are not misinterpreted.

TL;DR: During the succession pH of the bagasse changed from acidic to neutral and finally became slightly alkaline, the moisture content gradually dropped and maximum temperature reached 50°C and pectin was utilized by all nine bagasse fungi while cellulose was utilization by all except R. microsporus and M. pusilius.
Abstract: Nine species of fungi were isolated from the fungal succession on bagasse; Rhizopus microsporus, Mucor pusilius, Aspergillus fumigatus, A. niger, A. terreus, A. flavus, Penicillium sp., Trichoderma longibrachiatum and an agaric. The commonest species were A. fumigatus and A. terreus which were present throughout the 20 weeks of study. Maximum colony counts were recorded during the sixth to the thirteenth weeks of the succession. During the succession pH of the bagasse changed from acidic to neutral and finally became slightly alkaline, the moisture content gradually dropped and maximum temperature reached 50°C. Pectin was utilized by all nine bagasse fungi while cellulose was utilized by all except R. microsporus and M. pusilius . Xylan was utilized by all excepting R. microsporus , while αconidendrin was utilized only by A. niger .

TL;DR: A cDNA fragment obtained by the rapid amplification of cDNA ends method, which takes advantage of the polymerase chain reaction, has been expressed in yeast under control of the cyc-gal inducible promoter and yeast clones able to secrete active enzyme have been obtained.
Abstract: A gene (egl1) encoding an endoglucanase (EGL1) from Trichoderma longibrachiatum has been cloned and sequenced. This gene, homologous to the T. reesei egl1 gene, differs from it in the length of the introns (particularly the first one) and encoded protein. A cDNA fragment obtained by the rapid amplification of cDNA ends method, which takes advantage of the polymerase chain reaction, has been expressed in yeast under control of the cyc-gal inducible promoter and yeast clones able to secrete active enzyme have been obtained.

TL;DR: ThPTR2 is the first experimentally confirmed PTR family transporter gene from filamentous fungi, and its expression was triggered by nitrogen starvation and a higher level of expression was also found when Trichoderma was grown in secondary nitrogen sources like allantoin, yeast extract, and urea.
