[Changes in growth patterns and intracellular calcium concentrations in aspergillus awamori treated with amphotericin B].

Growth patterns and intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in the mutant strain Aspergillus awamori 66A, containing a recombinant aequorin gene were studied in the presence of a permeabilizing fungicidal agent amphotericin B. The cell response, i.e.

[Anticancer properties of Trichoderma asperellum 302 from buried soils].

Melanoma is one of the most malignant tumors, which leaves no chance of survival in the case of the "bang". There are various ways to treat tumors, however, recently in the field of cancer research, there are studies in which fungal metabolites have been used as antitumor agents. In this study we examined the effect of the culture fluid of the fungus Trichoderma asperellum 302 on the growth and development of melanoma B 16.

Cytotoxicity of Trichoderma spp. cultural filtrate against human cervical and breast cancer cell lines.

Trichoderma spp. are known as a rich source of secondary metabolites with biological activity belonging to a variety of classes of chemical compounds. These fungi also are well known for their ability to produce a wide range of antibiotic substances and to parasitize other fungi.

SOD2 gene polymorphism and muscle damage markers in elite athletes.

Exercise-induced oxidative stress is a state that primarily occurs in athletes involved in high-intensity sports when pro-oxidants overwhelm the antioxidant defense system to oxidize proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. During exercise, oxidative stress is linked to muscle metabolism and muscle damage, because exercise increases free radical production. The T allele of the Ala16Val (rs4880 C/T) polymorphism in the mitochondrial superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) gene has been reported to reduce SOD2 efficiency against oxidative stress.
