Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Indian Isolates of Nematode Trapping Fungi
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two nematode trapping fungi were isolated from aerated soil samples collected fron Anand district( Gujarat) India and identified on the basis of their culture –morphological characteristics and 18S rRNA gene sequencing as Arthrobotrys oligospora and Duddingtonia flagrans . These fungal isolates were assessed for their trapping efficiency further. Trapping structures such as ring like structures were observed under microscope. Growth conditions with respect to media, temperature and pH were optimized. This study showed that the Duddingtonia flagrans and Athrobotrys oligospora are nematophagous fungi.

Over one-year period, 150 pasture soil samples and 138 sheep faecal samples, collected from different parts of Iran were screened for the presence of nematophagous fungi. The samples were cultured at 25ºC on chloramphenicol-2% water agar (CHF-WA) plates in the presence of Haemonchus contortus third stage larvae (L3) and checked over a two-month period for characteristic conidia, conidiophores a...

Introduction: Many studies have shown an association between respiratory distress, allergic reactions and the presence of bacteria and fungi in air. We aimed to compare the air micro flora of Qeshm Island with those of other provinces. Methods: This experimental study was consisted of grown colonies on PDA, SC media for fungi and BHI, TSA media for bacteria. Samples were taken by Air Trapping...
متن کاملRhizosphere Colonization and Control of Meloidogyne spp. by Nematode-trapping Fungi.
The ability of nematode-trapping fungi to colonize the rhizosphere of crop plants has been suggested to be an important factor in biological control of root-infecting nematodes. In this study, rhizosphere colonization was evaluated for 38 isolates of nematode-trapping fungi representing 11 species. In an initial screen, Arthrobotrys dactyloides, A. superba, and Monacrosporium ellipsosporum were...

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) is a respiratory pathogen which has been isolated throughout the world from numerous bird species. The present study was designed to isolate and characterize the ORT from domestic turkeys, quails and pigeons. For this purpose, 250 samples from each bird species (turkey, quail and pigeon) with or without respiratory signs were tested by taking of tracheal...
