Fungi in the order Chaetothyriales are renowned for their ability to cause human infections. Nevertheless, they are not regarded as primary pathogens, but rather as opportunists with a natural habitat in the environment. Extremotolerance is a major trend in the order, but quite different from black yeasts in Capnodiales which focus on endurance, an important additional parameter is advancing toxin management. In the ancestral ecology of rock colonization, the association with metabolite-producing lichens is significant. Ant-association, dealing with pheromones and repellents, is another mainstay in the order. The phylogenetically derived family, Herpotrichiellaceae, shows dual ecology in monoaromatic hydrocarbon assimilation and the ability to cause disease in humans and cold-blooded vertebrates. In this study, data on ecology, phylogeny, and genomics were collected and analyzed in order to support this hypothesis on the evolutionary route of the species of Chaetothyriales. Comparing the ribosomal tree with that of enzymes involved in toluene degradation, a significant expansion of cytochromes is observed and the toluene catabolism is found to be complete in some of the Herpotrichiellaceae. This might enhance human systemic infection. However, since most species have to be traumatically inoculated in order to cause disease, their invasive potential is categorized as opportunism. Only in chromoblastomycosis, true pathogenicity might be surmised. The criterion would be the possible escape of agents of vertebrate disease from the host, enabling dispersal of adapted genotypes to subsequent generations.

The nitrogen-phosphorus removal model was set up and monitored during in 3 weeks, which divided to 3 periods including 0-day, 14-day and 21-day of detention times. The model was closed water system with eutrophication in greenhouse, temperature and light intensity were controlled within 25-35 °C and 150-200 micromole/sec (8.30 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. daily), respectively. Each closed water system was 10 liters of water tank and filled with plankton blooming water. This experiment was divided into 2 phases: first period was determined and selected experimental system, which was contained and combined in different types of floating plants, such as Salvinia cucullata, Pistia stratiotes and Lemna perpusilla; and second period was monitored the efficiency of selected floating plant system (Pistia stratiotes and Lemna perpusilla, 15 grams for each floating plant) for nitrogen-phosphorus treatments; and combining with other water treatments, such as photosynthesis bacteria (PSB) and Hoagland's nutrient solution. The finding was shown that Salvinia cucullata and Lemna perpusilla were most water parameter qualities improvement, including DO, pH, Turbidity, BOD, TSS, PO43-, total phosphorus and total nitrogen (mg/l). However, Salvinia Cucullata were poor growing along with experimental period when compared to Pistia stratiotes, thus, it was used in second period of study.All floating plant systems in the first phase were represented water treatment and clearly remediation, which indicated by turbidity (
