black mold ![]() Refers to Stachybotrys chartarum, called stachy for short, a greenish black mold that can grow in parts of a structure exposed to constant moisture. The fungus can produce toxins harmful or even fatal to humans and has been identified in the sick building syndrome. There are some very dark dematiaceous hyphomycetes that look very similar; confirmation of stachy must be made after miscroscope examination.This is an area of widespread litigation and should be a cause of concern to both buyers and sellers of real estate. (For more information, visit the Web site of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov/mold/stachy.htm.) How to thank TFD for its existence?

Aspergillus fumigatus genellikle nefti yesil, Aspergillus flavus fistik yesili, Aspergillus niger siyah, Aspergillus terreus krem-bej rengi koloniler olusturur. Aspergillus niger is the only organism that can be identified correctly by its characteristic appearance in the ear canal. Although Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger were resistant to the extracts, essential oils of E sideroxylon and E torquata generally exhibited moderate to high antifungal activities against Candida albicans, A flavus and A niger. |
