Stachybotrys chartarum (/ s t æ k iː ˈ b ɒ t r ɪ s tʃ ɑː r ˈ t ɛər ə m /, stak-ee-BO-tris char-TARE-əm), [2] also known as black mold [3] is a species of microfungus that produces its conidia in slime heads. Because of misinformation, S. chartarum has been inappropriately referred to as toxic mold.
Satratoxin-H, a trichothecene mycotoxin, is a naturally occurring toxin produced by the ascomycetes Stachybotrys chartarum and Trichoderma cornu-damae which is highly toxic and potentially fatal to humans and other animals.
Among children and adolescents, the most common health effect post-flooding was lower respiratory tract symptoms, though there was a lack of association with measurements of total fungi. [15] Another study found that these respiratory symptoms were positively associated with exposure to water damaged homes, exposure included being inside ...
Stachybotrys (/ ˌ s t æ k i ˈ b ɒ t r ɪ s /) is a genus of molds, hyphomycetes or asexually reproducing, filamentous fungi, now placed in the family Stachybotryaceae. The genus was erected by August Carl Joseph Corda in 1837.
Treatment with 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in 0.1M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for 4–5 hours has been shown to inhibit the biological activity of T-2 toxin. [70] Incubation with aqueous ozone at approximately 25 ppm has also been shown to degrade a variety of trichothecenes through a mechanism involving oxidation of the 9, 10 carbon double ...
Stachybotrys chartarum contains a higher number of mycotoxins than other molds grown in the indoor environment and has been associated with allergies and respiratory inflammation. [30] The infestation of S. chartarum in buildings containing gypsum board, as well as on ceiling tiles, is very common and has recently become a more recognized problem.
The family was originally introduced by Crous et al. (2014) to accommodate three genera; Myrothecium, Peethamabra and Stachybotrys. [1] It was revised by Lombard et al. (2016) based on morphological characters and multi-locus phylogenetic analysis. They accepted 33 genera in the family, including 21 new genera. [2]
