Rosellinia sp.: saprophyte that becomes a parasite of cacao tree

The dermatophyte, Microsporum gypseum, as a saprophyte and parasite.

Vanbreuseghem (1) recently described a selective procedure for isolating keratinophilic fungi from soil. The method extends the work of Karling (2), who first used keratin in various forms as bait for the isolation of chytrids from soil and water. Vanbreuseghem placed hair filaments upon the surface of moistened soil in which Trichophyton mentagrophytes (Ctenomyces interdigitalis), T. rubrum an...

Mycoplasma inocuum sp. n., a saprophyte from chickens.

Adler, H. E. (University of California, Davis), M. Shifrine, and Herrad Ortmayer. Mycoplasma inocuum sp. n., a saprophyte from chickens. J. Bacteriol. 82:239-240. 1961.-A new species of Mycoplasma was isolated from the infraorbital sinuses of chickens. The organism, a saprophyte, differs from all known mycoplasmas of avian origin. A description of this isolate is given. It has been named Mycopl...

Phylogeny of Rosellinia capetribulensis sp. nov. and its allies (Xylariaceae).

A new Rosellinia species, R. capetribulensis isolated from Calamus sp. in Australia is described. R. capetribulensis is characterized by perithecia immersed within a carbonaceous stroma surrounded by subiculum-like hyphae, asci with large, barrel-shaped amyloid apical apparatus and large dark brown spores. Morphologically, R. capetribulensis appears to be similar to R. bunodes, R. markhamiae an...

Streptomyces cameroonensis sp. nov., a Geldanamycin Producer That Promotes Theobroma cacao Growth

The taxonomy of an actinobacterial strain, designated JJY4T, was established using a polyphasic approach. JJY4T was isolated from the rhizosphere of Chromolaena odorata in Yaoundé (Cameroon) during a project for the selection of biological control agents. Strain JJY4T exhibited antimicrobial activities against bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Strain JJY4T also exhibited the traits of plant growt...
