The enzyme activities of Trichoderma viride and Aspergillus niger grown on various waste cellulosic materials such as corncobs, saw dust and sugarcane baggase were tested for a period of 192 hrs. The maximum activity of 0.33 mg/min/ml & 0.026 mg/min/ml of cellulase enzyme were found to be produced on saw dust after 144 hrs by Aspergillus niger & Trichoderma viride, respectively. Corncob showed ...

Potato ranks fourth as the most important food crop in the world. The crop is known to suffer from many diseases among which late blight is more devastating. Therefore, culture filtrates of bio-control agents, (Trichoderma virens, Trichoderma viride, Paecilomyces lilacinus and Pseudomonas fluorescens) were tested for their effectiveness on the spore germination and infection in-vitro, as fungic...

The hydrolytic potential of cellulases produced by Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma pseudokoningii, Trichoderma koningii, and Trichoderma reesei with addition of exogenous β-glucosidase was evaluated on cellulose of steam-pretreated Lespedeza. The T. viride enzyme achieved the highest glucose conversion (90.09%), while T. pseudokoningii cellulase achieved the highest ratio of cellobiose to gluco...

In order to find an alternative fungal source, 13 different fungi (Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Penicillium, Rhizopus and Fusarium sp.) were cultured in lactase production medium at 30 °C and 150 rpm for 6 days. Experimental results showed that Trichoderma viride ATCC 32098 has maximum lactase specific activity, followed by Trichoderma harzianum 1073 D3. In addition, the studies of stability were ...

This work presents results on the effect of manganese ions on the development and biological activities of the fungal antagonists Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma pseudokoningii and Trichoderma viride. The effects of manganese on linear growth of Trichoderma spp. depend on the metal concentration and the fungal species. T. harzianum proved the most sensitive fungus. on the other hand, none of...

EVSTATIEVA, Y., M. BADALOVA, G. CHERNEV, D. NIKOLOVA and V. SAVOV, 2013. New hybrid matrix for immobilization of Trichoderma viride SL-45. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., Supplement 2, 19: 120–122 In this work Trichoderma viride SL-45, was investigated in new a hybrid matrix by immobilizing method. Vegetative culture of this strain was immobilized in four variations of sol-gel hybrid silica materials, co...

Trichoderma “viride” TNAU is the most widely used biofungicide in India with more than 250 registered commercial formulations being available. We have studied the phylogenetic position of this strain using a molecular marker and determined that this commercial strain is, in fact, a strain of Trichoderma asperelloides, and not T. viride. The implications of these findings on the registration and...

GOCHEV, V. K. and A. I. KRASTANOV, 2007. Isolation of laccase producing Trichoderma spp. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 13: 171-176 Based on its dye decolorization activities four Trichoderma strains were screened as laccase producers. The strains were identified as T. atroviride, T. longibrachiatum, T. reesei, and T. viride. It was determined that it was expedient to screen laccase producing Trichoderm...

Nineteen isolates of Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma harzianum obtained from rhizosphere soil of plantation crops, forest soil and agricultural fields of North Bengal region were studied using RAPD and ITS-PCR. The genetic relatedness among eleven isolates of T. viride and eight isolates of T. harzianum were analyzed with six random primers. RAPD profiles showed genetic diversity among the i...
