Background: Some fungi have double host attacks for animals and plants, among them Alternaria alternata. Using a local medicinal plant such as Ephedra alanda is one way to fight its spreading. Aim: Evaluate the effect of different extracts against mold Material Methods: This work used solvent by successive extraction (Hexane, Chloroform, Ethyl acetate, Methanol) total alkaloids evaluate Anti- a...

Trichoderma asperellum is one of the plant growth-promoting fungi (PGPF) presently marketed as biopesticide, biofertilizer and in soil amendments, due to its ability protect plants, enhance vegetative growth reduce pathogen populations. Keeping this view, here, we assessed efficacy against pathogens medicinal plants vitro field conditions Leaf spot disease Green leaf Tulsi (Ocimum basilicum). W...

Humic substances (HSs) support the sustainable functioning of soils. Filamentous fungi are involved in HSs turnover, demonstrating ability to degrade and simultaneously synthesize HSs. The aim work was study transformation HS samples by soil filamentous using a set spectral indices connect those findings stability biomes. We used three fungal strains: melanin containing Alternaria alternatа, no...

Microbiological quality control of 13 pollen samples purchased from local markets and 2 other samples provided by apiarists was investigated. TAMC ranged from 3.00 to 5.48 Log CFU/g. TMYC was between 2.3 and 6.99 Log CFU/g. Staphylococcus aureus was recovered with high density in 14 samples (up to 8.32 Log CFU/g) and Enterobactericeae count ranges from 4.18 to 8.018 Log CFU/g. Moreover, Salmone...

BACKGROUND The mechanism underlying severe asthma with fungal sensitization (SAFS) is unknown. IL-33 is important in fungus-induced asthma exacerbations, but its role in fungal sensitization is unexplored. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether fungal sensitization in children with severe therapy-resistant asthma is mediated by IL-33. METHODS Eighty-two children (median age, 11.7 years; 6...
