Isolation and expression of two polyketide synthase genes from Trichoderma harzianum 88 during mycoparasitism

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (2), 2016
Abstract Metabolites of mycoparasitic fungal species such as Trichoderma harzianum 88 have important biological roles. In this study, two new ketoacyl synthase (KS) fragments were isolated from cultured Trichoderma harzianum 88 mycelia using degenerate primers and analysed using a phylogenetic tree. The ...

Screening of Trichoderma isolates for their potential of biosorption of nickel and cadmium

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (2), 2016
Abstract Fourteen Trichoderma isolates were evaluated for their tolerance to two heavy metals, nickel and cadmium. Three isolates, MT-4, UBT-18, and IBT-I, showed high levels of nickel tolerance, whereas MT-4, UBT-18, and IBT-II showed better tolerance of cadmium than the other isolates. Under nickel str...
