Objective: This piece of work aims to determine the antagonistic potential of Aspergillus melleus MP3 fungi from marine sponge. Methods: Marine sponge extract was used to isolate fungi on selective medium and molecular identification was performed using ITS sequencing. Fungal mycelium was extracted with solvents of varying polarity and their antibacterial activity was checked against various hu...

in vitro studies with trichoderma spp., soil-borne fungal antagonists, demonstrated that a number of isolates produced volatile and non-volatile metabolites capable of inhibiting the growth and sporulation of several soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi. microscopic observations showed that t. harzianm and t. viride, isolated from soil samples from ahwaz and karaj, adversely affected the mycelial ...

We evaluated whether Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann populations were inßuenced by nontrophic interactions involving commensal mites, their mutualistic bluestain fungus Ophiostoma minus (Hedgc.) H. and P. Sydow, and beetle-mutualistic mycangial fungi. We tested for effects of delayed, nonlinear, or positive feedback fromO. minus and mites onD. frontalis population growth. We predicted that (1...
