Soil bacteria can benefit from co-occurring soil fungi in respect of the acquisition of carbonaceous nutrients released by fungal hyphae and the access to novel territories in soil. Here, we investigated the capacity of the mycosphere-isolated bacterium Burkholderia terrae BS001 to comigrate through soil along with hyphae of the soil fungi Trichoderma asperellum, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium ox...

In this study we evaluated the ability of Saccharomycopsis schoenii Nadson and Krassiln (UWO-PS 80-91) as biocontrol agent against plant pathogenic filamentous fungi P. expansum Link (UFMG 01-2002), P. italicum Wehmer (LCP 61.1199), and P. digitatum (Pers.: Fr.) (LCP 984263, LCP 68175 and LCP 4354). S. schoenii was able to reduce disease severity in oranges inoculated with all fungi. Among the ...

The colonization of land by plants appears to have coincided with the appearance of mycorrhiza-like fungi. Over evolutionary time, fungi have maintained their prominent role in the formation of mycorrhizal associations. In addition, however, they have been able to occupy other terrestrial niches of which the decomposition of recalcitrant organic matter is perhaps the most remarkable. This impli...

The ancient fungus-growing termite (Mactrotermitinae) symbiosis involves the obligate association between a lineage of higher termites and basidiomycete Termitomyces cultivar fungi. Our investigation of the fungus-growing termite Macrotermes natalensis shows that Bacillus strains from M. natalensis colonies produce a single major antibiotic, bacillaene A (1), which selectively inhibits known an...

The principles of good agricultural and horticultural practice, considering both environmental protection high yielding plants, require modern cultivation methods. In agriculture, it is possible to use biostimulants that protect the soil against degradation plants phytopathogens stress. purpose 3-year field laboratory studies was determine effect Trichoderma harzianum T-22 other on health statu...

The endophytic microbiome uses mechanisms such as the secretion of diffusible antibiotic molecules, synthesis and release volatile organic compounds, and/or toxins to protect plants. aim this research was study compounds (VOCs) profile well secondary metabolites produced released by bacteria isolated from tomato plants that in in-vitro assays prevented growth pathogenic fungi. Bacteria belongin...

Fungal pathogens are the main biotic burden of productivity for economically important crops under field, greenhouse or postharvest conditions. The discovery and development new environmental-friendly solutions, such as application living organisms their derivatives to control plant diseases pests, enormous interest. This study presents results a mass screening designed detect yeast strains wit...

Ethanol Crude extract of Cosicinium fenestratum stems (Gaertre) Coleb (Menispermaceae) exhibited inhibiting activity against seven plant pathogenic fungi and one antagonistic fungus when they were tested using the dilution method. Ethanolic crude extract of C. fenestratum stems was then fractionated by column chromatography using six organic solvents, and subsequent antimicrobial activity evalu...
