Advances in enzyme stabilization and immobilization make the use of enzymes for industrial applications increasingly feasible. The lactoperoxidase (LPO) system is a naturally occurring enzyme system with known antimicrobial activity. Stabilized LPO and glucose oxidase (GOx) enzymes were combined with glucose, potassium iodide, and ammonium thiocyanate to create an anti-fungal formulation, which...

Enzymatic activity e.g., pectinase, cellulase, protease and lipase of different fungal pathogens causing stalk rot disease in corn was determined. In-vitro studies; corn stalk rot pathogens viz., Cephalosporium acremonium, Fusarium moniliforme, F. graminearum, F. semitectum, Macrophomina phaseolina, st. 1, M. phaseolina st. 2, Rhizoctonia solani st.1, R. solani st. 2 and Verticillium albo-atrum...

Pseudomonas sp. strain 2-92, isolated from a Canadian field plot under long-term mineral fertilization, strongly inhibits the growth of Fusarium graminearum, Rhizoctonia solani, and Gaeumannomyces graminis. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas sp. strain 2-92.

In order to discover new compounds with good fungicidal activities, 32 pyrazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), and their fungicidal activities against Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, Valsa mali Miyabe et Yamada, Thanatephorus...

In order to find new lead compounds with high fungicidal activity, (Z/E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienoic acids were synthesized via selective two-step oxidation using the commercially available geraniol/nerol as raw materials. Twenty-eight different (Z/E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienamide derivatives were prepared by reactions of (Z/E)-carboxylic acid with various aromatic and aliphatic amines, follo...

Rhizoctonia stem canker and black scurf diseases of potato are caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani Kühn (teleomorph Thanatephorus cucumeris [A. B. Frank] Donk) and can be found on all underground parts of the plant at various times during the growing season. Rhizoctonia solani (Deuteromycetes, Mycelia Sterilia) is a species complex of 13 anastomosis groups (AGs), which are categorized accor...
