Journal Title: International Journal of Transplantation Research and Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Ochroconis is a darkly pigmented "black mold", which is thermotolerant and found in soil as well as in decaying vegetables, hot springs, cave rocks and Paleolithic paintings.
