The presence of the fungal genus Chaetomium and its secondary metabolites in indoor environments is suspected to have a negative impact on human health and well-being. About 200 metabolites have been currently described from Chaetomium spp., but only the bioactive compound group, chaetoglobosins, have been screened for and thus detected in buildings. In this study, we used a liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry approach to screen both artificially and naturally infected…

Chaetomium and Chaetomium-like Species from European Indoor Environments Include Dichotomopilus finlandicus sp. nov.

The aims of this research were to identify Chaetomium and ChaetOMium-like strains isolated from indoor environments in Hungary and Finland, two geographically distant regions of Europe with drier and wetter continental climates, respectively, and to study their morphological and physiological properties, as well as their extracellular enzyme activities.

Diversity and taxonomy of Chaetomium and chaetomium-like fungi from indoor environments

The Use of Chaetomium Taxa as Biocontrol Agents

The bioagents play a major role in the biological control of plant pathogens responsible for great economic losses of most crops. Different species of Chaetomium are effective biocontrol agents of…

Chaetomium in Indoor Environment and Medically Important Species of Chaetomium

This chapter presents a concise overview of Chaetomium taxa including their role in human diseases and the application of new genomic and other molecular techniques in recent years has revolutionized the field of fungal pathogenesis.

Detection of Chaetomium globosum, Ch. cochliodes and Ch. rectangulare during the Diversity Tracking of Mycotoxin-Producing Chaetomium-like Isolates Obtained in Buildings in Finland

The diversity of Chaetomium-like isolates in buildings in Finland is poorly documented. This paper describes a set of methods for rapid diversity tracking of 42 indoor Chaetomium-like isolates. These…

Recent Advances on Occurrence of Genus Chaetomium on Dung

It is highlighted that the tipping point to increase the understanding on Chaetomium species ecology and biology is to consider potential substrates where it can be found, as dung, once that genus is not highly specialized to a specific substrate.

Diagnostic fragmentation filtering for the discovery of new chaetoglobosins and cytochalasins.

DFF has proved useful in the identification of new natural products and allowing for their partial characterization without the need for isolation, and is an effective LC/MS data analysis approach for rapidly identifying entire classes of compounds from complex mixtures.

Molecular identification of five species of family Chaetomiaceae (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) from Iraqi soil

Five ascomycetes fungi within the family Chaetomiaceae were isolated from Iraqi agricultural soil and identified by phenotypic characteristics and molecular analysis and reported for the first time from the Iraqi mycobiota.

Inflammation-associated gene expression in RAW 264.7 macrophages induced by toxins from fungi common on damp building materials.

Anti-inflammatory Metabolites from Chaetomium nigricolor.

Compound 2 was found to inhibit nuclear factor-kappa B and c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation, in turn suppressing pro-inflammatory mediators and cytokines including nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-6, and IL-12.

Co-occurrence of toxic bacterial and fungal secondary metabolites in moisture-damaged indoor environments.

It is shown that toxic bacterial metabolites need to be considered as being part of very complex and diverse microbial exposures in 'moldy' buildings, and there is a need for a sound risk assessment concerning the exposure to indoor microbial toxins at concentrations detectable in moisture-damaged indoor environments.

Production of mycotoxins on artificially and naturally infested building materials

The quantities of secondary metabolites produced by Penicillia were generally low, and no toxin production was detected from any of the five isolates of Pen.

Chemical and bioactive diversities of the genus Chaetomium secondary metabolites.

This review covers the extraction, structure elucidation, structural diversity, and biological activities of natural products isolated from about 30 fungi associated with marine- and terrestrial- origins, and highlights some bioactive compounds as well as their mechanisms of action and structure-activity relationships.

Phylogenetic reassessment of the Chaetomium globosum species complex

Thirty-six species are identified based on phylogenetic inference of six loci, supported by typical morphological characters, mainly ascospore shape, and 12 species are newly described here, including C. globosum s.str.
