The projects described in this dissertation are mainly focused on exploration of marine-derived fungi as a source of new pharmacologically active natural products. Fungi are prolific sources of medically useful secondary metabolites. Currently, fungi from marine habitats are rel…
Polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are highly stable organic compounds, which contain multiple carbon-fluorine bonds. They are used in various commercial products, including aqueous fire-fighting foams (AFFF) and products with non-stick coatings. However, thes…
In this study, the potential of fungi Aspergillus niger to remove cadmium, copper, lead and nickel ions from an aqueous solution was evaluated. Several pretreatment alternatives were investigated for enhancing metal removal capacity of live A. niger biomass. Cadmium, copper and …
Fungi are among the most common microbiota in the interiors of buildings, including homes. Indoor fungal contaminants, such as dry-rot, have been known since antiquity and are important agents of structural decay, particularly in Europe. The principal agents of indoor fungal con…
This three phase research involved the pilot testing, laboratory development and field evaluation of a method for the quantification of viable fungal particles on heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system filters. The primary purpose of this three phase work was to…
