11.00 – 11.30 Oxidative stress: common factor related to different mycotoxins biosynthesis (MIP-7)
Corrado Fanelli (IT)
  Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of fungi belonging essentially to the Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium genera. They can be produced on a wide range of agricultural commodities and under a diverse range of situations worldwide. The accumulation of mycotoxins in foods and feeds leads to serious economical losses and trading problems, and can be a major threat to human and animal health. Different perspectives of the mycotoxin problem in the food chain are introduced in this session as they are observed or perceived from developing and developed countries in terms of human and animal health, economy and trading. Considerable investments have been made in Europe and USA during the last decade for research and innovation to reduce mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi contamination and efforts are ongoing for the integration of research results at global level for an effective transfer of know how to developing countries. This session also deals with the understanding of the biosynthetic pathways and the mechanisms leading to the biosynthesis of major mycotoxins, including aflatoxins, ochratoxin and patulin in different fungal species as well as with the genetic variation within toxigenic Fusarium species which commonly occur in a variety of economically important agricultural and food products.

14.40 – 15.05 On the evaluation of indoor mould, remedies and sanitation strategies (MIP-12)
Thomas Warscheid (DE)
  In the course of global warming and referring energy-saving policies the problem of mould infestations indoors and their health-related as well as material-destructive impacts on humans and materials receives actually an intensive public attention. The intensive use of organic building materials, improper maintenance of buildings and constructional defects as well as a presumably growing number of allergenic-predisposed and immuno-deficient patients demands for a broad interdisciplinary, scientific approach. Microbiologists, medical scientists, building engineers and conservators have to put increased efforts in the understanding of the microbial ecology indoors, the evaluation of their hygienic endargement and the development of effective sanitation respectively protective interventions. It is the purpose of the session to tackle those questions with a special emphasis to the Mediterranean area in order to stimulate further scientific activities in this field.

Ayse Kalkanci (TR)
Selected from submitted abstracts
  Fungi have a profound impact on global ecosystems. They modify our habitats and are essential for many ecosystem functions. For example, they are among the biological agents that form soil, recycle nutrients, decay wood, enhance plant growth, and cull plants from forests. A phylogeny will be the framework for retrieving information on 1.5 million species, and a best estimation of the manner in which fungal evolution proceeded, will produce a stable classification for mycologists and other user groups. Unprecedented progress in the era of DNA sequencing from PCR products and new analysis methods will be described.

14.45 – 15.05 What is the difference between toxigenic Aspergillus flavus and non-toxigenic Aspergillus oryzae ? (MIP-21) Joan W. Bennett (USA)
  Advances in genomics have revolutionized our understanding of fungal evolution and phylogeny. In addition, the availability of whole DNA sequences for an organism provides a powerful tool for applied mycology. For example, several important plant pathogens now have completed genomes. Because the genus Aspergillus contains species of agricultural, industrial and medical importance it also has been the target of several genome projects. New perspectives on pathogenecity, high protein secretion, and secondary metabolism have emerged from these studies and will be discussed in this session

Philippe Desmeth (BCCM, BE)
  Biological Resource Centres (BRC) must ensure a quality product providing standard reference material that will give reproducible results. To achieve this, collections must apply quality control and assurance measures to maintain these standards, taking into account the needs of users and of the facilities and resources available. The Organisation for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) have just published best practice guidelines for BRCs [DSTI/STP/BIO(2007)9/REV1]. The OECD initiative continues in 2007 to examine mechanisms for the adoption of the best practices which the World Federation for Culture Collections is supporting to deliver co-ordination and a systematic approach to access, use and characterisation of organisms.

18.35 – 18.50 Black yeasts – melanin producers (MOP-2)
Liliya Mingalieva (UZ)
Selected from submitted abstracts
  Black yeasts are very remarkable in their ecological preferences: they love the extreme. We are now beginning to understand that we can uncover a wealth of diversity by using exceptional isolation methods, such as crushing bare rock, using toxins, pure sulphuric acid, or high temperature – or human bodies. Some of the evolutionary lines leading to human and animal pathogenicity have our special attention. Saprobic black yeasts may suddenly express their pathogenic potential under the influence of global change, as is demonstrated in an emerging crab disease at the Brazilian coast.

Rosane Schwan (BR)
Selected from submitted abstracts
  Filamentous fungi have significant economic impacts on the production of foods by causing spoilage and the production of mycotoxins. Management of these impacts requires good scientific understanding of the factors that affect the occurrence, survival and growth of fungi in foods. The heat resistance of some fungal species is emerging as an increasing challenge to the food industry. This session will discuss recent developments in fungal physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology as they relate to the survival growth and activity of some of the main fungal species in foods, including heat resistant species.

Joachim Ernst (DE)
  Biofilms are being recognized as an important cause of infection and for their role in human medicine. It has been estimated that 65% of all human microbial infections involve biofilm. More recently, characterization of fungal biofilm showed that these unique structures are at the cause of treatment failure, particularly in catheter-related bloodstream infection, as well as in the recent outbreak of fungal keratitis. This symposium brings together experts in the field of microbial biofilm. Their presentations will span biofilms caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Candida albicans. It is an exciting symposium that reveals what is new in fungal biofilm.

Lena Klingspor (SE)
  The increasing use of high grade supportive care in severe and life threatening diseases, especially in intensive and neonatal care units, has created a shift in hospital populations at risk for opportunistic fungal infections. This medical progress has led to a change in the epidemiology of invasive fungal infections. In this symposium the changing epidemiology, diagnostic approaches, prophylaxis and therapy of fungal infections in the intensive care unit will be discussed.

Jacques Guillot (FR)
14.30 – 15.00 Mucorales in Platypus (MIP-57)
Niall J. Stewart (AU)
  Mycoses are probably very common conditions in wildlife species and feral animals even though clinical cases remain largely unnoticed as long as the pathogens are not responsible for strong population loss or human contamination. Aspergillosis is a serious threat to the conservation of wild animals, especially seabirds in zoological parks or rescue centres. Wild animals may also act as reservoirs of pathogenic fungi for humans. It is the case of wild lagomorphs or carnivora carrying arthroconidia of the dermatophyte species Microsporum canis. Interactions between fungal and animal populations are usually very strong. For some fungal species or clades, these interactions lead to a co-evolution process. Pneumocystis organisms and mammals constitute a key example of this phenomenon.

Livio Pagano (IT)
  Zygomycosis has emerged as a major cause of morbidity and mortality, mainly in patients with haematological malignancies or diabetes, as well as in immunocompetent patients who sustain trauma or burns. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood yet, but many interesting aspects of it, including the host’s defences, have been studied. Rapid diagnosis is of paramount importance and, in addition to conventional methods, such as direct microscopy and cultures, new molecular techniques are being investigated. Amphotericin B has been the only available drug for the treatment of zygomycosis, but recently, posaconazole has also been shown to be effective. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment may improve the outcome.

17.00 – 17.30 Phytophthora: Emerging pathogens of an expanding genus (MIP-66)
Francine Govers (NL)
  Novel fungal genotypes evolve over time, many of which are pathogenic to plants of economic importance. Several of these genotypes become reproductively isolated, eventually being recognized as distinct cryptic taxa or species. Several elements such as interbreeding populations, selection and reproductive isolation influence speciation. However, due to ecological and epidemiological mechanisms that influence adaptation, and especially global warming, it is clear that not only novel species present new threats. Well established plant pathogens are also constantly re-inventing themselves as threats of major concern. The aim of this symposium is to focus on the evolution of novel pathogens, as well as aspects that influence the relationships with their hosts, frequently with disastrous consequences.

10.30 – 11.00 Are all echinocandins the same? (MIP-70)
William Hope (UK)
  Management of invasive fungal infections and antifungal susceptibility testing are among the most dynamic fields in clinical and laboratory practice. New therapeutic options now extend the spectrum of antifungal drugs to be used in treatment of systemic fungal infections. Among these are the novel echinocandins, including caspofungin, micafungin, and anidulafungin. Novel drugs add more to the armamentarium of antifungal prophylaxis as well in specific patient populations. The potential use of immunotherapy in fungal infections as a novel and adjunctive strategy is also under investigation. In addition and complementary to these progressions in therapy and prophylaxis, the developments in antifungal susceptibility testing serve to provide a better understanding of the extent of antifungal resistance and the clinical impact of in vitro susceptibility tests. This symposium will highlight the progressions as well as the challenges in the fields of antifungal management and susceptibility testing.

  Application of molecular tools to mycology has resulted in important gains in understanding pathogenesis, host defences, metabolism and growth. Not less important have been methodological advances in differentiating the genomes of groups of pathogenic fungi. These tools have helped us to expand our understanding of the epidemiology of the organisms, moving beyond unreliable phenotypic characteristics, and expanded our understanding of their taxonomy, speciation and groupings. In this symposium, 4 speakers from 4 countries and 3 continents will give a global view of the state of the art with respect to the major opportunistic pathogens, Candida and Cryptococcus.

Janos Varga (NL)
  Filamentous fungi are very common and several genera comprise species which demonstrate an important economic impact. They are responsible for spoilage and deterioration, produce mycotoxins, or are pathogens for plants, human and animals. On the other hand many species are beneficial because they produce useful metabolites and are used in biotechnological processes and food fermentations. The systematics of these genera are in a state of flux mainly because of the new phylogenetical findings changing the species concepts of known taxa. In this symposium the new taxonomic developments of the four genera are presented with emphasis of the most important and relevant species.

Selected from submitted abstracts
  This symposium will focus on strategies to reveal yeasts in nature, their mechanisms to cope with environmental stresses and the phenomena involving species interactions to shape yeast communities. Yeasts are frequent in different environments, and their community structures show specific trends for diverse tropical habitats. Yeast cells, like all microbial cells, are subject to rapidly fluctuating environmental conditions. The biochemical basis of the interplay between nutrient growth conditions and stress responses will be explained. Recent findings on the interactions taking place between yeast species have indicated unknown phenomena having the potential to improve wine fermentations.
