Abstract Sweet or bell pepper is a member of the Solanaceae family and is regarded as one of the most popular and nutritious vegetable. Blight, in the form of leaf and fruit blight, has been observed to infect bell pepper crops cultivated at the horticulture farm in Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udai...

Enhancement of botrallin and TMC-264 production in liquid culture of endophytic fungus Hyalodendriella sp. Ponipodef12 after treatments with metal ions

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (6), 2016
Background: Hyalodendriella sp. Ponipodef12, an endophytic fungus from a poplar hybrid, was a high producer of botrallin and TMC-264 with various bioactivities. In this study, the influences of eight metal ions (i.e.,Mn2+,Na+, Mg2+,Zn2+,Cu2+,Fe2+,Fe3+ and Al3+) on botrallin and TMC-264 production in liqu...

High levels of ß-xylosidase in Thermomyces lanuginosus: potential use for saccharification

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT A new strain of Thermomyces lanuginosus was isolated from the Atlantic Forest biome, and its β-xylosidases optimization in response to agro-industrial residues was performed. Using statistical approach as a strategy for optimization, the induction of β-xylosidases activity was evaluate...

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Conjunctival ulceration accompanied with secretion and pain was observed in a 30-year-old male, 3 days after a perforating corneal trauma. Cultures of conjunctival ulcer samples grew Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a major causative agent of chromoblastomycosis that is typically transmitted during trauma. T...

Primer registro de Talaromyces udagawae relacionado con cuerpos humanos en descomposición, en suelo de la Argentina
First record of Talaromyces udagawae in soil related to decomposing human remains in Argentina

Rev. argent. microbiol; 48 (1), 2016
The morphologic features of Talaromyces udagawae Stolk and Samson are here described and illustrated. This teleomorphic Ascomycota fungus was isolated from soil obtained in Buenos Aires province (Argentina) from beneath a human cadaver in an advanced state of decomposition. After washing and serial dilut...

Macelignan inhibits bee pathogenic fungi Ascophaera apis growth through HOG1 pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (7), 2016
Ascosphaera apis is a bee pathogen that causes bee larvae infection disease, to which treatment is not yet well investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate antifungal susceptibility in vitro against A. apis and to identify a new antifungal agent for this pathogen through minimal inhibitory con...

Medium optimization for palmarumycin C13 production in liquid culture of endophytic fungus Berkleasmium sp. Dzf12 using response surface methodology

Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (6), 2013
Background: Berkleasmium sp. Dzf12, an endophytic fungus from Dioscorea zingiberensis, was a high producer of palmarumycin C13 with various bioactivities. In the present study, the experimental designs based on statistics were employed to evaluate and optimize the medium for palmarumycin C13 production i...

Ranqueamento de genótipos de soja com resistência parcial por diferentes métodos de inoculação de sclerotinia sclerotiorum submetidos à análise de correlação

Biosci. j. (Online); 29 (3), 2013
A podridão branca da haste da soja ou mofo branco tornou-se a segunda doença em importância na cultura no Brasil. Pouco se conhece sobre a resistência de soja ao patógeno. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar e definir um método confiável na seleção de genótipos de soja resistentes ao mofo branco...

Control of infective larvae of gastrointestinal nematodes in heifers using different isolates of nematophagous fungi

The effect of different nematophagous fungi [Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001 and CG722) and Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34)] with regard to controlling infective larvae (L3) of nematodes after gastrointestinal transit in female cattle (3/4 Holstein × Zebu) was evaluated. A total of 24 pubescent female cat...
