GOCHEV, V. K. and A. I. KRASTANOV, 2007. Isolation of laccase producing Trichoderma spp. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 13: 171-176 Based on its dye decolorization activities four Trichoderma strains were screened as laccase producers. The strains were identified as T. atroviride, T. longibrachiatum, T. reesei, and T. viride. It was determined that it was expedient to screen laccase producing Trichoderm...

Aspergillus niger is an important microorganism that has been used for decades to produce extracellular enzymes. In this study, a novel Aspergillus niger strain integrated with a eukaryotic expression vector harboring the gpd-Shi promoter of shiitake mushrooms and cellulase gene of Ampullaria gigas Spix was engineered to improve cellulase production for the achievement of highly efficient sacch...

The experiment was conducted under in vitro and field conditions to observe the effect of bio-agents, botanical and fungicides against Alternaria triticina. Eight treatments were taken up with three replications and data collected was analyzed using CRD. Maximum inhibition per cent mycelia growth was observed in Propiconazole (89.72%), Hexaconazole (88.44%), Vitavax (87.70%), followed by Tricho...

BACKGROUND Visceral toxocariasis is a parasitic zoonosis caused by Toxocara canis. The prevalence of this parasite in dogs, soil contamination and the resistance of eggs increase human exposure to the disease. Moreover, the difficulties of the control measures justify the need for alternative ones. AIMS The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro ovicidal activity of fungi isolat...

dissolution of phosphate by p solubilizing microorganisms is dependent on the environmental conditions and the composition of the medium culture. present study conducted to investigate the effect of two fungal species, moisture content and rock phosphate content on water soluble phosphate (wsp), ph and changes of medium weight with time. two fungi aspergillus niger and one isolate from rock pho...

Plant Flavonoids are considered as naturally occurring bioactive compounds. In the present study, chitosan and Aspergillus niger elicitors were used as chemical and fungal elicitors, respectively. The cell suspension culture of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees was established in 50 ml MS media supplemented with 2,4-D: BAP (1.0:0.5 mg/l) and treated with chitosan and Aspergillus niger eli...

Although a wide application of pesticides and herbicides are an essential part of augmenting crop yields, excessive use of these chemicals leads to the microbial imbalance of soil, environmental pollution and health hazards to human and animals. An ideal pesticide should have the ability to destroy target pests quickly and should get degrade the toxic and nontoxic substances as quickly as possi...

Forty eight soil samples were collected from 12 garbage waste soils of Ranchi, Jharkhand and screened for presence of keratinophilic fungi using hair baiting techniques for isolation. Fungal growths appearing on the baits after two to four weeks of incubation at room temperature were microscopically examined and cultured on mycological media. Cultures were then identified on the basis of coloni...

Verbesina encelioides belongs to the Asteraceae family and also known as golden crown beard wild sunflower. In present study callus was raised from leaf explant of V. encelioides. Callus obtained on MS medium. The used for antifungal activity identification. in-vitro anti-fungal Candida albicans gave most effective response out all studied fungi, with best being displayed in methanol extract fo...
