Use of a novel two-stage cultivation method to determine the effects of environmental factors on the growth and sporulation of several biocontrol fungi

چکیده
To supply essential information for improving mass production and biocontrol effi cacy, two-stage cultivation on agar plates was used to evaluate the environmental conditions affecting mycelial growth and sporulation of seven biocontrol fungi. Maximum growth and sporulation occurred on acid media for Paecilomyces (Pa.) lilacinus IPC-P, Pochonia (Po.) chlamydosporia HSY-12-14, and Lecanicillium lecanii CA-1-G, and on alkaline media for Metarhizium anisopliae isolates. All fungi preferred a certain water potential and temperature for sporulation. Light greatly inhibited the growth of P. lilacinus IPC-P, M. anisopliae SQZ-1-21, and L. lecanii CA-1-G but enhanced the sporulation of P. lilacinus M-14, P. chlamydosporia HSY-12-14, and L. lecanii CA-1-G.

A novel method to optimize culture conditions for biomass and sporulation of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana IBC1201
Biomass yields and sporulation of Beauveria bassiana was concerned on culture conditions, environmental factors and cultivation method. We optimized the best culture conditions for biomass yields of B. bassiana IBC1201 with the novel "two-stage" cultivation method as well as orthogonal matrix method. Firstly, we cultured spore suspension on the basal medium (sucrose 19.00 g, soy peptone 4.06 g,...

Fungicide was an important part in mycopesticides, which play an important role in pest management, while their mass production and commercialization faced problem. We found that the nutrition for mycelia growth and sporulation differences a lot. So, we developed "two-step method" to define the nutrition for sporulation in this paper. The results indicated that the novel method led to a great i...

In vitro studies with Trichoderma spp., soil-borne fungal antagonists, demonstrated that a number of isolates produced volatile and non-volatile metabolites capable of inhibiting the growth and sporulation of several soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi. Microscopic observations showed that T. harzianm and T. viride, isolated from soil samples from Ahwaz and Karaj, adversely affected the myce...
