In vitro tests were carried out to assess the activity of 26 Brazilian isolates of predatory fungi of the genus Arthrobotrys on a free-living nematode (Panagrellus sp.) and on infective larvae of Haemonchus placei, a parasitic gastrointestinal nematode of cattle. The results showed that the free-living nematode Panagrellus sp. was the most preyed upon, compared to H. placei, for all the fungal ...

It is rather uncommon to maintain a research institute for art history abroad. First of all, because culture and art can be distinguished by their national identity and therefore they are regarded as an achievement of a particular nation. The second and probably more important reason is that every nation needs to set up its own appropriate institutions, like museums, archives, libraries, univer...

In vitro tests were carried out to verify the activity of 26 Brazilian isolates of predatory fungi of the genus Arthrobotrys on a free-living nematode (Panagrellus sp.) and on infective larvae of Cooperia punctata, a parasitic gastrointestinal nematode of cattle. The results showed that the free-living nematode Panagrellus sp. was the most preyed upon, compared to C. punctata, for all the funga...

Seventeen saccharides were tested for their ability to bind to the trap lectins of three species of nematode-trapping fungi and prevent nematode capture. The lectin of Arthrobotrys conoides was found to be inhibited by alpha-d-glucose/d-mannose and similar saccharides. The lectins of Monacrosporium eudermatum and Monacrosporium rutgeriensis were inhibited by alpha-l-fucose and 2-deoxy-d-glucose...

Nematode-trapping fungi are widely studied due to their unique morphological structure, survival strategy, and potential value in the biological control of harmful nematodes. During identification carnivorous preserved our laboratory, five novel nematode-trapping were established placed genera Arthrobotrys Drehslerella based on multigene (ITS, TEF, RPB2) phylogenetic analyses. A. hengjiangensis...
