| ACE | acetonitrile; acetylcholine esterase; acute cerebral encephalopathy; acute coronary event; adrenocor... |

| BCYE | buffered charcoal-yeast extract [agar] |
| BTE | behind the ear [hearing aid]; bovine thymus extract |
| B&W | black and white [milk of magnesia and cascara extract] |
| CEE | Central European encephalitis; chick embryo extract |
| aspergillus antigen skin test | <investigation> An antigen, prepared from aspergillus, is injected into the skin. In 48 to 72 hours the site is read as positive or negative. A positive skin test (inflammation at the test site) indicates prior exposure to aspergillus and therefore a risk for developing aspergillosis. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| Aspergillus clavatus | A species isolated from soil and faeces; it yields a carcinogenic mycotoxin known as patulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aspergillus flavus | A species of imperfect fungus which grows on peanuts and other plants and produces the carcinogenic substance aflatoxin. It is also used in the production of the antibiotic flavicin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aspergillus fumigatus | A species of imperfect fungi from which the antibiotic fumigatin is obtained. Its spores may cause respiratory infection in birds and mammals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Aspergillus fumigatus metalloproteinase | <enzyme> Mol mass 82 kD; pi 5.6; hydrolyzes phenylazobenzyloxycarbonyl-pro-leu-gly-pro-arg and cleaves native rat type I collagen Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: a. Fumigatus metalloproteinase, af-mep (26 Jun 1999) |
| aspergillus nidulans | A species of imperfect fungi from which the antibiotic nidulin is obtained. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aspergillus niger | A fungus causing smut or black mold of several fruits, vegetables, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aspergillus nuclease s1 | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses endonucleolytic cleavage to 5-phosphomononucleotides and 5-phosphooligonucleotide end-products. It has a preference for single-stranded substrates but is active with either ribo- or deoxyribonucleic acids. Registry number: EC 3.1.30.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| aspergillus ochraceus | A deuteromycetous fungal species that produces ochratoxins and contaminates cereals and coffee beans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aspergillus oryzae | Fungus present on most agricultural seeds and often responsible for the spoilage of seeds in bulk storage; also used in the production of fermented food or drink, especially in japan. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Aspergillus oryzae carboxyl proteinase | <enzyme> Included in the group of microbial carboxyl proteinases EC 3.4.23.6 Registry number: EC 3.4.23.- Synonym: takadiastase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Aspergillus terreus | A species that produces the antibiotic citrinin; it has been isolated from otomycosis, especially in Japan and Taiwan, and occasionally causes aspergillosis in humans and animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endonuclease S1 Aspergillus | <enzyme> An enzyme cleaving RNA or DNA to 5'-ended mono-or oligonucleotides; prefers single stranded polynucleic acids. Synonym: deoxyribonuclease S1. (05 Mar 2000) |
