Antagonism ofTrichodermaisolates againstLeucoagaricus gongylophorus(Singer) Möller
Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2017Filamentous fungi from the genusTrichodermaare commonly found in soil. They are considered facultative mycoparasites, and are antagonists of other fungi such as the cultivar of leaf‐cutting ants (Leucoagaricus gongylophorus). The aim of the present study was to bioprospectTrichodermaspp.

Fungal Biology
Leaf-cutting ants (LCAs) of the genera Atta and Acromyrmex are major agricultural pests in the Americas, relying on their mutualism with the fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus for colony survival. Mycoparasites such as Trichoderma spp. offer promising biocontrol tools by antagonizing this essential symbiont.

Leucoagaricus gongylophorus provides protection for Atta sexdens against plant extracts
2022RESUMO Extratos vegetais foram utilizados para o controle das formigas cortadeiras. Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar a sobrevivência de operárias de formigas cortadeiras após aplicação tópica de extratos de Ageratum conyzoides (mentrasto) e Manihot esculenta (mandioca); e avaliar o efeito por ingestão do extrato de Manihot esculenta extraído com

Abstract The basidiomycete fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus is able to grow in the fungus garden of leaf-cutter ants. This mutualistic interaction has driven the evolutionary adaptation of L. gongylophorus, shaping its metabolism to produce enzymes adept at lignocellulosic biomass degradation.

Leaf-cutting ants have great potential for damage to agricultural and forest crops. Although chemical control is the most used method for the management of this pest, more friendly alternative methods have been investigated. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the insecticidal and antifungal potential of essential oils obtained from Aristolochia ...

A mutualistic fungus of the leaf-cutting ant Atta mexicana was isolated and identified as Leucoagaricus gongylophorus. This isolate had a close phylogenetic relationship with L. gongylophorus fungi cultivated by other leaf-cutting ants as determined by ITS sequencing. A subcolony started with ~500 A.

O Brasil é um grande produtor agrícola e possui um papel fundamental no setor florestal, no entanto, prejuízos e danos expressivos podem ser atribuídos às formigas-cortadeiras. Atualmente o método mais eficaz para o controle desses insetos são iscas granuladas a base de inseticidas químicos e o uso de microrganismos endofíticos é apontado como uma ...
