Ficus religiosa L is one of the important medicinal plant widely used in pharmaceutical research. It is widely distributed in India and a religiously important host. In the present study, antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi isolated from Ficus religiosa was carried out. Organic extract of five dominant endophytic fungi viz Botryodiplodia theobromae, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Phomop...

Bacillus subtilis strain LB5 produced lipopeptide antibiotic iturin A-2 in liquid medium. Crude extract from cell-free supernatant of B. subtilis cultivated broth extracted with n-butanol showed antifungal activity to conidial germination of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The germination of conidia was completely inhibited by crude extract. The ultrastructure of conidia after treated with crud...

sixteen isolates of colletotrichum were collected from leaves with anthracnose symptoms or leaf spots of twelve wild, cultivated and ornamental plant species from the guilan, mazandaran, and golestan provinces in northern iran. five different species, including c. aenigma, c. gigasporum, c. godetiae, c. karstii, and c. musae were identified based on the dna sequence data (tub2, gs, gapdh). four...

Three new asperentin-type compounds, 6-O-α-d-ribosylasperentin (1) and 6-O-α-d-ribosyl-8-O-methylasperentin (2) and 5-hydroxyl-6-O-methylasperentin (3), along with asperentin (4) and its known analogues (5-9), were isolated from a halotolerant Aspergillus sp. strain F00785, an endotrophic fungus from marine alga. Their structures were determined using extensive NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic ana...

The genus Colletotrichum contains a wide variety of important plant pathogens, and Colletotrichum truncatum is one of the most prevalent species of Colletotrichum on chili in China. Demethylation-inhibitor fungicides (DMIs) are currently registered chemical agents for the management of the anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum spp. To assess the risk for DMI resistance development, 112 C...

A 12-yr study of fungi associated with Cannabis has revealed that many taxa cited in the Cannabis literature are based on misdeterminations or synonyms of species with wide host ranges (McPartland, 1992, 1994b, 1995b). New species have been discovered – Phomopsis ganjae (McPartland, 1983), Schiffnerula cannabis (McPartland&Hughes, 1994a), Fusicoccum marconii, Leptodothiorella marconii (McPartla...

Chlorella, one single-cell green algae organism that lives autotrophically by photosynthesis, can directly suppress some plant diseases. The objective of this study was to determine whether pre-spraying with Chlorella fusca suspension could induce systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in cucumber plants against anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare. In order to illustrate SAR induced by ...

Colletotrichum higginsianum is an ascomycete fungus causing anthracnose disease on numerous cultivated plants in the family Brassicaceae, as well as the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana We report an assembly of the nuclear genome and gene annotation of this pathogen, which was obtained using a combination of PacBio long-read sequencing and optical mapping.
