However, despite its directional deformation formAspergillusdescribed in at least eight genera,EURUndoubtedly, this is the most important thing for man, because they are one of his most common factorsFood spoilage[1] There are about 80 species in this genus [2].

EURcircle of life

Mold often has a complex and intricate life cycle. Many of them show a polymorphic life cycle, which means that they have two states - asexual (morphing) and sexual (sexual). The amorphous state reproduces asexually and produces genetically identical copies of itself by producing asexual spores called conidia. The sexual embryo state occurs when two genetically compatible fungi fuse to produce fertile bodies that bear sexual spores. When these spores germinate, their mycelium fuses and the genomes of the two fungi create a genetically unique organism. Some species go through two phases, while others exist in only one.moldtipAspergillus bazilikait can mature into a fungusEURherbal medicine [3].

This concept of dual nomenclature was established in 1910 to address the problem of fungi having pleomorphic life cycles [4]. However, the system is constantly being upgraded. Since many fungi reproduce only asexually, cataloging would be easier if all fungi showed both amorphous and sexual forms, because there would be no uncertainty as to whether a species has a sexual form. Furthermore, even when fungi have sexual forms, they are often rarely found or can only be observed under certain conditions. In many cases, polymorphic and sexual forms of fungi are well known to science, but their relationships have remained unclear for many years.

In recent years, the rise of molecular methods has systematically transformed fungi, making the system of dual nomenclature a thing of the past. Specifically, in 2011, researchers adopted the "one mushroom, one name" principle. However, although the system of dual nomenclature is not based on evolutionary relationships, it is still used in many fields such as phytopathology, medical mycology and food microbiology. Teleomorphs are often grouped according to their morphology and physiology - from a practical point of view, this classification is very useful.

For example, consider three well-known generaAspergillus terminalis–EUR,a new tailor, irape.EURThis species is drought tolerant and can grow and reproduce in environments with low water activity (dry or condensed).a new tailorOn the other hand, the species is not drought tolerant. They are thermophilic creatures that inhabit decaying vegetation. They have excellent resistance to heat, which causes spoilage of pasteurized products.rapeThe species is neither drought nor heat tolerant and is a fungus that lives in the soil and is rarely found elsewhere. If the item is listed asEUR, food industry experts immediately know that they are dealing with a thermophilic organism. if it is calleda new tailor, will know that pasteurization does not solve the problem of spoilage. Therefore, by simply collecting tangible variants of all these forms inAspergillusThe genus leads to a loss of information, so double or single nomenclature is still a matter of debate among mycologists [4].

EURecology

EURThis species is a well-known osmotolerant colonizer of dry substrates or substrates with low water activity due to high amounts of dissolved salts or sugars. They were discovered in water with a salinity greater than 17%. Many can develop in water activities below 0.75 a_w, some were even seen growing at a rate of 0.64p_w[5] They often appear in the food industry and are common causes of food spoilage. They are also of particular importance in animal feed, since improperly stored seeds represent an ideal environment for these xerophilic fungi [6].

EURThe genus is one of the most common fungal components in house dust and can grow on relatively dry scales. They are known to breed on skin, fabrics and books and other semi-dry surfaces stored in slightly moist conditions.E. Herbariumis the third most common fungus isolated from moldy drywall in buildings in the United States and Canada. In North America,EURThese items are often found in insulation, drywall, laminated wood and ceiling boards. They can also be insulated from air conditioner filters, carpets, painted surfaces, tiles and concrete flowers. Because they thrive even at relatively low humidity levels, they are considered master colonists.EURspecies is considered its most common memberAscomycotaIt is found in closed spaces, on walls and other surfaces, and in household dust [7].

how to get rid of itEUR？

While removing small, visible colonies can be considered a DIY job, larger, deep-seated mold infestations often require professional help. Mass infestations are often caused by underlying moisture-related problems. Sometimes it can be nothing more than a leaky pipe or clogged gutter, or it can be related to poorly designed construction, drainage or insulation, or the use of inappropriate building materials. Since fixing these problems can be expensive, it may be beneficial to get help diagnosing the problem before spending a lot of money.
