Microbes, Ferments, and Moulds

This article covers the classification and roles of various microbes, such as those involved in fermentations and environmental processes, but it does not provide new research results.

This narrative review discusses various microbes associated with fermentation and diseases in plants, animals, and humans, reporting no new research results.

This study found that certain non-dermatophytic moulds, specifically *Absidia* sp., *Cladosporium tenuissimum*, and *Aspergillus welwitschiae*, can cause skin symptoms such as discoloration and lesions in albino mice, suggesting potential virulence due to enzyme activity.

In this study, non-dermatophyte moulds, particularly Aspergillus and Penicillium species, were phenotypically characterized in dogs and cats with suspected mycotic dermatitis, revealing their potential role in dermatological disorders among companion animals and emphasizing the importance of conventional mycological identification techniques.

This study identified nine fungal genera, including Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium, in dry salted shrimp samples from Rio Branco, Acre, highlighting the need for improved hygienic practices in processing to prevent potential public health risks from mycotoxin producers.
