Ulocladium is a genus of fungi.Species of this genus contain both plant pathogens and food spoilage agents. Other species contain enzymes that are biological control agents. . Some members of the genus can invade homes and are a sign of moisture because the mold requires water to t
Members of the genus Ulocladium are often found in water damaged materials, and can even be found on paper if conditions are right. It is often found together with species Stachybotrys .(Frisvad and Gravesen 1994 [ full citation needed ] , Gravesen et al. 1997 [ full citation needed ] ) The presence of Ulocladium is a good indicator of wet ...
Mold propagates via spores, which are always present in the environment. Mold spores can be transferred to an object by mechanical instruments or air circulation. When spores attach to another organism, and the environment is favorable, they begin to germinate. Mold produce mycelium which growth pattern resembles cobwebs. Mycelium allows the ...
When the smut invades the host plant it causes hypertrophy – the host's cells increase in size and number. (The fungus also destroys the flowering structures of the plant, so it does not make seed, but the plants can still be propagated asexually by rhizome.) In an environment such as a rice paddy, new sprouts of wild rice are easily infected ...
A mold spore lands on the food. If the condition is right, the spore begins germinating, growing and forming tiny filaments called hyphae. The hyphae spread, creating a network in the food ...
Species in the genus are commonly found in soil, plant litter (hay, straw, cereal grains, and decaying plant debris) and air and a few species have been found from damp paper, cotton, linen, cellulose-based building materials water-damaged indoor buildings, and air ducts from both aquatic and terrestrial habitats (Izabel et al. 2010; [6 ...
Cladosporium cladosporioides is a common saprotroph occurring as a secondary infection on decaying, or necrotic, parts of plants. [6] This fungus is xerophilic – growing well in low water activity environments (e.g., a W = 0.86–0.88). [14] This species is also psychrophilic, it can grow at temperatures between −10 and −3 °C (14 and 27 ...
T. viride is a mold which produces spores asexually, by mitosis. It is the anamorph of Hypocrea rufa, its teleomorph, which is the sexual reproductive stage of the fungus and produces a typical fungal fruiting body. [1]
