Two nematode trapping fungi were isolated from aerated soil samples collected fron Anand district( Gujarat) India and identified on the basis of their culture –morphological characteristics and 18S rRNA gene sequencing as Arthrobotrys oligospora and Duddingtonia flagrans . These fungal isolates were assessed for their trapping efficiency further. Trapping structures such as ring like structures...

The systematic classification of nematodetrapping fungi is redefined based on phylogenies inferred from sequence analyses of 28S rDNA, 5.8S rDNA and b-tubulin genes. Molecular data were analyzed with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysis. An emended generic concept of nematode-trapping fungi is provided. Arthrobotrys is characterized by adhesive networks, Dactylellina by a...

Four tropical seaweeds, Gracilaria manilaensis Yamamoto & Trono, Ulva reticulata Forsskål, Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) L.M.Liao and Turbinaria conoides (J.Agardh) Kützing, collected from various habitats throughout Malaysia, were subjected to temperatures of 40, 35, 30, 25 20 °C in the laboratory. An exposure range 21–38 is reported for Malaysian waters. The effect temperature exposures on hal...

arthrobotrysamerospora (atcc 34468) produced glucoamylase in a semi-synthetic medium containing starch as a sole carbon source. polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of crude glucoamylase showed three isoenzymes. they were designated as glu i, glu ii and glu iii according to their electrophoretic mobility. these iso-glucoamylases were purified by column chromatography using deae-sephadex a-50. the...

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...
