TL;DR: For those fungi of known phylogenetic relatedness, drug MICs were consistently low for isolates among all clades, except for members of the family Microascaceae, supporting the observation of fungal phylogeny and corresponding susceptibility to antifungal drugs.
Abstract: The in vitro susceptibilities of three hundred eighty-one isolates representing two classes, five orders, nine families, 30 genera, and 51 species of ascomycetous fungi to voriconazole, itraconazole, and amphotericin B were tested by using a modification of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards M27-A reference method. For those fungi of known phylogenetic relatedness, drug MICs were consistently low for isolates among all clades, except for members of the family Microascaceae. The highest MICs of all drugs tested were consistently for the Microascaceae, supporting the observation of fungal phylogeny and corresponding susceptibility to antifungal drugs. Itraconazole and voriconazole have a broad range of activity against phylogenetically similar agents of hyalohyphomycosis, phaeohyphomycosis, chromoblastomycosis, and mycetoma.

TL;DR: Some potential virulence factors were studied in the fungi and in some related anamorphs, but no physiological distinction could be made between the three intraspecific variants of P. boydii.
Abstract: Summary. Nutritionally physiological patterns of Pseudallescheria boydii (Microascaceae) and the related species Scedosporium prolificans were established. Differences between the two species were found in assimilation of sucrose, ribitol, xylitol and L-arabinitol. In contrast, no physiological distinction could be made between the three intraspecific variants of P. boydii which have been recognized on the basis of nDNA/DNA homology data and of morphological and clinical differences. Some potential virulence factors were studied in the fungi mentioned above and in some related anamorphs. All species were capable of anaerobic growth, but differed in their temperature relations.
Zusammenfassung. Assimilations-Muster von Pseudallescheria boydii (Microascaceae) und der verwandten Art Scedosporium prolificans wurden untersucht. Dabei wurden Art-Unterschiede in der Assimilation von Saccharose, Ribitol, Xylitol und L-Arabinitol festgestellt. Im Gegensatz dazu wurden keine physiologischen Unterschiede zwischen den drei Varianten innerhalb der Art P. boydii nachgewiesen. Damit lassen sich die bisher verwendeten Merkmalsunterschiede, bzw. nDNA/DNA Homologie-Werte sowie morphologische und klinische Characteristika, nicht bestatigen. Einige mogliche Virulenz-Faktoren bei den oben beschriebenen sowie auch bei einigen verwandten Arten, wurden untersucht. Alle Arten erwiesen sich im gleichen Mas zum anaeroben Wachstum befahigt, unterscheiden sich aber in ihrem Temperaturverhalten.

TL;DR: Pseudallescheria boydii may be an important agent for in situ bioremediation of saturates in oil-contaminated sites and compared to strains from cattle dung and raw sewage, which shows considerable variability in morphology, colony appearance, colony diameter, and temperature tolerance.
Abstract: Four unique strains of Pseudallescheria boydii were isolated from oil-soaked soils in British Columbia and Alberta and compared to strains from cattle dung and raw sewage. Considerable variability ...

TL;DR: Two new species, Microascus giganteus and Petriella musispora, and a new genus, Petriellidium, based on Allescheria boydii Shear are included in the Microascaceae for the first time.
Abstract: The family Microascaceae is discussed in light of past and present research. New concepts of the family are put forward which encompass the results of this research and two new species, Microascus ...
