ANTAGONISTIC EFFECT OF TRICHODERMA HARZIANUM ASSOCIATED WITH TRICHODERMA KONINGII, TRICHODERMA LIGNORUM, AND PICHIA KUDRIAVZEVII ON CITRUS SINENSIS VARIETY SALUSTIANA IN THE POST-HARVEST PHASE

The Trichoderma koningii aggregate species

The morphological concept of Trichoderma koningii is found to include several species that differ from each other in details of phenotype (including conidium morphology, growth rate) and biogeography. Phylogenetic analysis utilizing partial sequences of the translation-elongation factor 1 alpha (tef1), as well as fragments of actin and calmodulin genes, indicate that phenotypic characters typic...

Enhanced Expression of Endochitinase in Trichoderma harzianum with the cbh1 Promoter of Trichoderma reesei.

Production of extracellular endochitinase could be increased 5-fold in the mycoparasite fungus Trichoderma harzianum by using the cellulase promoter cbh1 of Trichoderma reesei, whereas the total endochitinase activity increased 10-fold. The cbh1 promoter was not expressed on glucose and sucrose in T. harzianum and was induced by sophorose and on cellulase-inducing medium. The endogenous endochi...

Trichoderma harzianum peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis.

Effect of Paecilomyces lilacinus, Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma virens fungal extracts on the hatchability of Ancylostoma eggs.

BACKGROUND Ancylostoma species have demanded attention due to their zoonotic potential. The use of anthelmintics is the usual method to prevent environmental contamination by Ancylostoma eggs and larvae. Nematophagous fungi have been widely used in their biological control due to the fungus ability to capture and digest free nematode forms. AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the effec...

Characterization of a Polygalacturonase from Trichoderma harzianum Grown on Citrus Peel with Application for Apple Juice

A polygalacturonase (PGase) was purified from Trichoderma harzianum , grown on citrus peel, by anion exchange and size exclusion chromatographies. The enzyme had molecular mass of 29 kDa. The extent of hydrolysis by PGase was decreased with increasing of pectin esterification degree. m m ax K and V , using polygalacturonic acid as substrate, were 1.42 mg and 0.66 ìmol reducing sugar, respective...
