Paper currencies could be one of the most potential vehicles to transmit diseases amongst the people. The daily transactions have made the paper currency to pass through many hands and pathogens become imposed on them before they are finally deposited in banks. Modern scientific studies have confirmed the presence of various pathogenic bacteria on paper currencies. Amongst others, Staphylococcu...

aqueous extract and volatile oil were obtained from miliusa tomentosa by using soxhlet extractor and hydro distillation with a clevenger-type apparatus respectively. the extract and volatile oil both were screened for antimicrobial activity against different bacteria (escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, bacillus subtilis, klebsiella pncumoniae, pseudomonas aeruginosa, bacillus pumilis) and...

Xylanase is a hemicellulase enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of xylan to xylose which is widely used in processing of feed, pulp and paper. It is produced by many microorganisms especially filamentous fungi like Trichoderma and Aspergillus. A potential xylanolytic fungal isolate Aspergillus niger was isolated from forest soils of Tirumala, AP, India, and its crude enzyme was checked for its...

in this study the effect of different nitrogen source substrates on the amount of chitosan production by aspergillus niger was investigated. a. niger ptcc 5012 from the persian type culture collection (ptcc) was grown on soy bean, corn seed and canola residues at 30 °c for specified cultivation days under sterilized conditions. chitosan was extracted from the fungal mycelia using hot alkaline a...

The efficacy of four fungal bioagents viz., Trichoderma hamatum, Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma viride, Gliocladium virens and two bacterial bioagents namely Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis were evaluated against the chickpea vascular wilt pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri in vitro condition using Dual Culture Technique. Among the fungal bioagents, T. harzianum produce...

Trichoderma gamsii T6085 is a promising beneficial isolate whose effects consist of growth inhibition of the main agents causing Fusarium head blight, reduction of mycotoxin accumulation, competition for wheat debris, and reduction of the disease in both the lab and the field. Here, we present the first genome assembly of a T. gamsii isolate, providing a useful platform for the scientific commu...
