This research aims to study the effect of Mycorrizal fungus and Plant-Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) on Cadmium (Cd) uptake by one-year-old Eucalyptus Camaldulensis seedlings. The treatments have involved three levels of heavy metal (0, 30, and 60 mg/kg) for Cd, and three bacterial levels (no bacteria (B0), Bacillus (Ba105), and Pseudomonas (Ps36, Ps448)), inoculated with mycorrhizal fungus G...

Piriformospora indica, a cultivable root colonizing endophytic fungus of Sebacinales, promotes plant growth and confers resistance against biotic and abiotic stress. The fungus has also the ability to colonize the roots of many varieties of plant species. The goal of present study was to clarify the colonization ability of P.indica in artichoke roots and the respond of plant to water stress. Re...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Fungus balls are a common disease of the paranasal sinuses, usually involving the maxillary sinus. To clarify the pathology, we analyzed patients treated for maxillary sinus fungus balls to see whether the latter correlated with dentogenic factors. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case analysis. METHODS Cases of maxillary sinus fungus balls diagnosed between January 2000 and...

the entomopathogenic fungus, verticillium epiphytum was isolated from the infected specimens of thrips tabaci collected in mashhad in april 2011. the fungus has been previously reported from rusts and sugar beet cyst nematode heterodera schachtii. this is the first record of v. epiphytum on t. tabaci in the world.

In its initial stages, fungus, as pictured in Figure 1, may not be perceivable by the clinician. However, over time the fungus will cover the lens surface in a web-like manner, initially causing a very slight loss of image brightness, followed by decreased contrast due to light reflecting off the fungus. In its final stages, the fungus etches the outer coatings of the lens and image sharpness d...

A seed-borne fungus, Curvularia sp. EML-KWD01, was isolated from an indigenous wheat seed by standard blotter method. This fungus was characterized based on the morphological characteristics and molecular phylogenetic analysis. Phylogenetic status of the fungus was determined using sequences of three loci: rDNA internal transcribed spacer, large ribosomal subunit, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate...

Schizophyllum commune a Nigeria edible higher fungus is valued for its high nutritional composition. The major limitation to its availability and utilization is that it is seasonal in nature. The fungus was obtained from dead wood and maintained on potato dextrose agar supplemented with 0.5% peptone. We observed the effects of temperature, pH, vitamins and carbon source on the vegetative growth...

The effects of 22 pesticides on the mycelial growth and pathogenicity of the biocontrol fungus ARFI8 to Heterodera glycines were tested in vitro. The chemicals were added to agar at 10, 100, and 1,000 ppm a.i.; a block of agar containing the fungus was added to each test concentration; and fungal growth was measured. Subsequently, a block of the fungus on the pesticide-containing agar was used ...
