Root colonization by selected Trichoderma isolates can activate in the plant a systemic defense response that is effective against a broad-spectrum of plant pathogens. Diverse plant hormones play pivotal roles in the regulation of the defense signaling network that leads to the induction of systemic resistance triggered by beneficial organisms [induced systemic resistance (ISR)]. Among them, ja...

The selected strains of microscopic fungi, Haematonectria haematococca (BwIII43, K37) and Trichoderma harzianum (BsIII33), decolorized the following monoathraquinone dyes with different efficiency: 0.03 % Alizarin Blue Black B, 0.01 % Carminic Acid, 0.01 % Poly R-478, and 0.2 % post-industrial lignin. The most effective was the removal of 0.03 % Alizarin Blue Black B (50-60 %) and 0.01 % Carmin...

We studied the production of xyloglucanase enzymes of pea and lettuce roots in the presence of saprobe and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The AM fungus Glomus mosseae and the saprobe fungi Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium oxysporum-126, Trichoderma harzianum, Penicillium chrysogenum, Pleurotus ostreatus and Aspergillus niger were used. G. mosseae increased the shoot and root dry weight of pea...

This study investigated lytic enzyme activities in three indigenous Trichoderma strains namely, Trichoderma asperellum, Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma sp. Native Trichoderma strains and a virulent strain of Rhizoctonia solani isolated from infected bean plants were also included in the study. Enzyme activities were determined by measuring sugar reduction by dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) me...

Agrocybe aegerita is an important mushroom cultivated in Korea, with good feel and a peculiar fragrance. A. aegerita can be cultivated throughout the year using culture bottles but is more susceptible to contamination than other mushrooms. Twenty-two pathogens were isolated from the fruiting bodies and compost of A. aegerita, and seven isolates were isolated from Pleurotus ostreatus to compare ...

An environmentally compatible method for controlling sapstain fungi in wood was evaluated, using a combination of chitosan and an albino strain Trichoderma harzianum, biological control agent (BCA). The growth penetration into the Ophiostoma piceae, Leptographium procerum, Sphaeropsis sapinea were assessed radiata pine wafers treated with BCA, both alone combination. Several mycological microsc...

In the current study, fungi from mangrove ecosystem of Mumbai were isolated and their metabolites screened for antibacterial potential. Two weeks old broth mycelium extracted using chloroform methanol. Antibacterial property solvent extracts was evaluated at various concentrations (2 – 10 µg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecium, faecalis, Klebsiella pneumon...

in order to investigate the effects of cattle manure, benefit fungi of trichoderma species and psudomunas spp. bacteria on seedling emergence parameters, growth and yield of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) a pot experiment was carried out in factorial (23) arrangement based on a randomized complete design with three replications. the treatments were three levels of cattle manure (10, 20 and 30 t.h...
