First Report of Myrothecium verrucaria from Muskmelon Seeds

A cellulolytic enxyme preparation from Myrothecium verrucaria.

Cellulolytic enzyme preparations active against various forms of cellulose have been reported by a number of investigators who have used a variety of different sources (8). Fungi which have been employed for the preparation of such extracts are Sporotrichum cards (15), Aspergillus oryxae (3,2), Merulius lachrymans (9), and Coniophora cerebella (7), while bacteria have included Bacterium protoxo...

Bioherbicidal activity from washed spores of Myrothecium verrucaria.

The fungal plant pathogen, Myrothecium verrucaria, is highly virulent to several important weed species and has potential utility as a bioherbicide. However the production of macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxins by this fungus presents significant safety concerns. It was discovered that trichothecenes are removed from M. verrucaria spores by repeated washes with water. These washed spores retai...

The Mode of Action of Alternaric Acid on Myrothecium verrucaria

REILLY, C. C., and D. GOTTLIEB. 1979. The mode of action of alternaric acid on Myrothecium verrucaria. Phytopathology 69: 550-555. Alternaric acid inhibited the endogenous respiration of Myrothecium phosphorylation, were not affected by the antibiotic. Alternaric acid had no verrucaria but maximum effects of the toxin were reached after 5-6 min. noticeable effect on the activity of any enzyme o...
