Chaetomium is a genus of fungi in the Chaetomiaceae family. It is a dematiaceous (dark-walled) mold normally found in soil, air, cellulose and plant debris. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), there are about 95 species in the widespread genus.
Chaetomium globosum is a well-known mesophilic member of the mold family Chaetomiaceae. It is a saprophytic fungus that primarily resides on plants, soil, straw, and dung. Endophytic C. globosum assists in cellulose decomposition of plant cells. [1] They are found in habitats ranging from forest plants to mountain soils across various biomes.
Species in the genus Chaetomium are common saprophytic plant pathogens [9] involved in the decomposition of plant matter in soil, and cellulose-based man-made materials. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] [ 6 ] Chaetomium species have been specifically recognized in the decay of cotton, and as the agent of fruit and wood rot.
Gustav Kunze established the genus Chaetomium in 1817 after discovering a new species of fungus in dead stalks and leaves which he named C. globosum. [3] [4] In 1818, when observing the dead leaves of Typha and Sparganium in Germany, Kunze recognized a new fungus that looked like C. globosum but was darker in pigmentation, and after characterizing it named it Ch. elatum.
According to the FDA, the acceptable levels of lead in baby food are as follows: 10 parts per billion (ppb) for fruits, vegetables (excluding single-ingredient root vegetables), mixtures ...
Chaetoglobosin A biosynthesis begins with a product from hybrid PKS-NRPS encoded by the gene CHGG_01239, followed by multiple oxidations which form different intermediates depending on the order of functional groups oxidized.
But a new report suggests that many of these products could contain dangerous levels of heavy metals. That's the takeaway from a new report by the Clean Label Project, which was released on January 9.
The Food Defect Action Levels: Levels of Natural or Unavoidable Defects in Foods That Present No Health Hazards for Humans is a publication of the United States Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition [1] detailing acceptable levels of food contamination from sources such as maggots, thrips, insect fragments, "foreign matter", mold, rodent hairs, and insect ...
