Apiotrichum mycotoxinivorans (synonym Trichosporon mycotoxinivorans) is a yeast species purportedly useful in the detoxification of various mycotoxins. It was first isolated from the hindgut of the termite Mastotermes darwiniensis. It has been shown to detoxify mycotoxins such as ochratoxin A and zearalenone.
Trichosporon asahii is a non-Candida yeast that has been reported to cause infections in immunocompromised patients. [2] T. asahii is the most prominent human pathogen in its genus, causing more than half of all Trichosporon infections.
Species are only known from their yeast states, most of which were formerly referred to the genus Trichosporon. Twenty species have been described worldwide. [ 1 ] Apiotrichum mycotoxinivorans is an occasional human pathogen.
