چکیده
A novel method was described for promoting conidial production of nematophagous fungus, Pochonia chlamydosporia AS6.8, by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment and two-stage cultivation. The fungi were first grown on potato dextrose agar plates to encourage vegetative growth, after briefly treating with 90 mM concentrations of H2O2, and then were transferred to water agar (WA) plates for sporulation. Sporulation of the P. chlamydosporia AS6.8 was significantly enhanced (as much as 15 times) using this method. Enhancement of sporulation by H2O2 (oxidative stress) and by transfer to WA (lownutrient stress) was not synergistic. In order to make sure if the H2O2 had enhancing effect on other nematophagous fungi, we also evaluated the effect of H2O2 on sporulation of Arthrobotrys oligospora CBS 115.81 and Dactylellina cionopaga CBS 113355 besides P. chlamydosporia. And the result showed that 90 mM concentrations of H2O2 had enhancing effect on sporulation of all of the three isolates.

متن کاملExpression of serine proteases in egg-parasitic nematophagous fungi during barley root colonization.
Nematophagous fungi Pochonia chlamydosporia and P. rubescens colonize endophytically barley roots. During nematode infection, serine proteases are secreted. We have investigated whether such proteases are also produced during root colonization. Polyclonal antibodies against serine protease P32 of P. rubescens cross-reacted with a related protease (VCP1) of P. chlamydosporia, but not with barley...

Nematophagous fungi are potential agents to be employed for biological control of helminthes. The ovicidal activity of the nematophagous fungi Pochonia chlamydosporia (isolates VC1 and VC4) and Paecilomyces lilacinus on egg capsules of Dipylidium caninum, a cestoda parasite of dogs, cats and men, was evaluated on Petri dishes cultures. One thousand of D. caninum egg capsules were placed onto Pe...

The in vitro effect of four isolates of the nematophagous fungi Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001), Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34a) and Pochonia chlamydosporia (VC1 and VC4) on the eggs of Trichuris vulpis was evaluated. One thousand eggs of T. vulpis were plated on Petri dishes with 2% water-agar with the fungal isolates grown and without fungus as control. After 7, 14 and 21 days 100 eggs were r...

INTRODUCTION Toxocara canis is an ascarid parasite of the small intestine of dogs that causes visceral larva migrans in humans. METHODS With the aim of demonstrating the effectiveness of the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia on Toxocara canis eggs under laboratory conditions, a trial was set up in Petri dishes with 2% agar-water. RESULTS There was ovicidal activity of 43.8% (p < 0.01) in the t...
