One of the advantages for initial survival of inhaled fungal
spores in the respiratory tract is the ability for iron acquisition
via hemolytic factor-production. To examine the ability
of indoor Aspergillus and Penicillium affecting hemolysis,
the secreted factors during the growth of thirteen strains from
eight species were characterized in vitro for their hemolytic
activity (HA) and CAMP-like reaction. The hemolytic index
of HA on human blood agar of Aspergillus micronesiensis,
Aspergillus wentii, Aspergillus westerdijkiae, Penicillium citrinum,
Penicillium copticola, Penicillium paxilli, Penicillium
steckii, and Penicillium sumatrense were 1.72 ± 0.34, 1.61 ±
0.41, 1.69 ± 0.16, 1.58 ± 0.46, 3.10 ± 0.51, 1.22 ± 0.19, 2.55 ±
0.22, and 1.90 ± 0.14, respectively. The secreted factors of
an Aspergillus wentii showed high HA when grown in undernourished
broth at 25°C at an exponential phase and were
heat sensitive. Its secreted proteins have an estimated relative
molecular weight over 50 kDa. Whereas, the factors of
Penicillium steckii were secreted in a similar condition at a
late exponential phase but showed low HA and heat tolerance.
In a CAMP-like test with sheep blood, the synergistic hemolytic
reactions between most tested mold strains and Staphylococcus
aureus were identified. Moreover, the enhancement
of α-hemolysis of Staphylococcus aureus could occur through
the interaction of Staphylococcus aureus-sphingomyelinase
and CAMP-like factors secreted from Aspergillus micronesiensis.
Further studies on the characterization of purified hemolytic-
and CAMP-like-factors secreted from Aspergillus
wentii and Aspergillus micronesiensis may lead to more understanding
of their involvement of hemolysis

Various zygomycota species were detected during a study of the mycobiota of meju, a brick of dried fermented soybeans, used in Korean cuisine. Two hundred and sixty-eight strains were isolated from 98 finished meju products collected in various regions of Korea from 2009 to 2011, and 96 strains were isolated from in-process meju on various farms from 2010 to 2011. The isolated zygomycota were identified using phenotypic characteristics combined with DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions of ribosomal DNA and the D1/D2 nuclear ribosomal large subunit. Of 364 zygomycota strains, 108 were identified as Mucor circinelloides, 96 as M. racemosus, 60 as Lichtheimia ramosa, 22 as Rhizopus stolonifer, 16 as Lichtheimia corymbifera, and the other 62 strains comprised 10 other species. The psychrotrophic species, Mucor circinelloides and M. racemosus were predominantly present during low temperature fermentation (LTF) and the thermotolerant species Lichtheimia ramosa and Rhizomucor species were predominant during high temperature fermentation (HTF). The results suggest that temperature has a large influence on the zygomycota composition during the fermentation process of meju.
