Light and temperature greatly influenced the development of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza and growth of onions in a phosphate-deficient soil. There were more large arbuscules and host growth was stimulated more with 25,000 lux than with 13,000 lux at 23° C and in a 14-23° C diurnal cycle. At 14° C and 13,000 lux mycorrhiza caused no growth stimulation even in three low-phosphate soils. At 18° C infection was much sparser in a 6 h daylength than in 12 and 18 h. Mycorrhizal plants kept in daylengths of 6 h at 13,000 lux were 3.5 times heavier than their non-inoculated controls. The effect of infection increased in longer daylengths and higher light intensities to 14.2 times the weight of controls with 18 h at 25,000 lux. The addition of soluble phosphate stimulated growth to the same extent as mycorrhizal inoculation did in the highest light conditions but phosphate stimulated growth more than did mycorrhiza under intermediate light conditions. The amounts of soluble carbohydrate in the roots of plants given phosphate and in those that were mycorrhizal did not differ significantly, but there was more soluble carbohydrate in plants growing in most light. Plants both with and without mycorrhiza contained much glucose, fructose, sucrose and an unidentified sugar with a low RF value, but there was no indication of fungal carbohydrates such as trehalose and mannitol.
Disseminated mycosis (DM)—with cardiac involvement and shock—is an unexpected and severe opportunistic infection in patients with yellow fever. DM can mimic bacterial sepsis and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of causes of systemic inflammatory response syndrome in this group of patients, especially in areas where an outbreak of yellow fever is ongoing. We report the case of a 53-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with fever, myalgia, headache, and low back pain. The laboratory investigation revealed a positive molecular test for yellow fever, hepatic injury, and renal failure. During hospitalization, the patient developed hepatic encephalopathy, ascending leukocytosis, and ascites, with signs consistent with peritonitis. On the 11th day of hospitalization, the patient developed atrioventricular block, shock and died. At autopsy, angioinvasive mycosis was evidenced mainly in the heart, lungs, kidneys, and adrenals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
