Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Facultative Anaerobic Filamentous Fungus from Japanese Rice Field Soil [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
A novel filamentous fungus strain designated RB‐1 was isolated into pure culture from Japanese rice field soil through an anaerobic role tube technique. The strain is a mitosporic fungus that grows in both aerobic and strict anaerobic conditions using various mono‐, di‐, tri‐, and polysaccharides with acetate and ethanol productions.

Symbiosis and pathogenicity of Geosmithia and Talaromyces spp. associated with the cypress bark beetles Phloeosinus spp. and their parasitoids

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 3369-3389, August 2022., 2022
Summary Fungi associated with cypress bark beetles are practically unknown in the Eastern Mediterranean. Our study focused on the fungi associated with the body parts and galleries of two indigenous cypress bark beetles, Phloeosinus armatus and P. bicolor, sampled from Cupressus sempervirens trees in different regions in Israel. Arbitrarily primed PCR,

Characterization, identification and virulence of Metarhizium species from Cuba to control the sweet potato weevil, Cylas formicarius Fabricius (Coleoptera: Brentidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 3705-3716, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Aims Entomopathogenic Metarhizium fungi are widely recognized for their biological control potential. In Cuba, several fungus‐based bio‐insecticides have been developed and are produced as part of integrated pest management (IPM) programmes for economically relevant agricultural pests.

As above, so below? Effects of fungicides on microbial organic matter decomposition are stronger in the hyporheic than in the benthic zone

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 39-52, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Microbial organic matter decomposition is a critical ecosystem function, which can be negatively affected by chemicals. Although the majority of organic matter is stored in sediments, the impact of chemicals has exclusively been studied in benthic systems.

Pest categorisation of Phymatotrichopsis omnivora

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2019., 2019
Abstract The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Phymatotrichopsis omnivora, the causal agent of Phymatotrichum root rot of more than 2,000 dicotyledonous plant species, for the EU. The pest is listed as Trechispora brinkmannii in Annex IAI of Directive 2000/29/EC. P.

Potential of Microbial Diversity of Coastal Sand Dunes: Need for Exploration in Odisha Coast of India

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Coastal sand dunes are hips and strips formed by sand particles which are eroded and ground rock, derived from terrestrial and oceanic sources. This is considered as a specialized ecosystem characterized by conditions which are hostile for life forms like high salt, low moisture, and low organic matter content.

Characterization of a Halotolerant Fungus from a Marine Sponge

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Introduction. Marine sponges have established symbiotic interactions with a large number of microorganisms including fungi. Most of the studies so far have focussed on the characterization of sponge‐associated bacteria and archaea with only a few reports on sponge‐associated fungi.

Aspergillus 6V4, a Strain Isolated from Manipueira, Produces High Amylases Levels by Using Wheat Bran as a Substrate

open access: yesEnzyme Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The aim of this study was screening fungi strains, isolated from manipueira (a liquid subproduct obtained from the flour production of Manihot esculenta), for amylases production and investigating production of these enzymes by the strain Aspergillus 6V4. The fungi isolated from manipueira belonged to Ascomycota phylum.

Mycoflora and Natural Incidence of Selected Mycotoxins in Rabbit and Chinchilla Feeds

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi that cause a toxic response when ingested by animals or man. Demand of natural fur, such as those from rabbit and chinchilla, produced under controlled conditions, has increased worldwide. The toxicogenic mycoflora contaminating feeds for these animals was enumerated and identified. Six

Isolation and Identification of Endophytic Fungi from Actinidia macrosperma and Investigation of Their Bioactivities

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Endophytic fungi from the Chinese medicinal plant Actinidia macrosperma were isolated and identified for the first time. This was the first study to evaluate their cytotoxic and antitumour activities against brine shrimp and five types of tumour cells, respectively. In total, 17 fungal isolates were obtained.
