The nematophagous fungus Verticillium chlamydosporium produces a chymoelastase-like protease which hydrolyses host nematode proteins in situ.
The nematophagous fungus Verticillium chlamydosporium secreted several proteases in submerged culture in which soya peptone was the sole carbon and nitrogen source. One protease, VCP1 (M(r) 33,000, pI 10.2), was purified 14-fold from culture filtrates to apparent homogeneity using preparative isoelectric focusing in free solution, and shown to rapidly hydrolyse the chymotrypsin substrate Suc-(A...
متن کاملHirsutella rhossiliensisand Verticillium chlamydosporium as Biocontrol Agents of the Root-knot Nematode Meloidogyne hapla on Lettuce.
Hirsutella rhossiliensis and Verticillium chlamydosporium infected second-stage juveniles (J2) and eggs of Meloidogyne hapla, respectively, in petri dishes and in organic soil in pots planted to lettuce in the greenhouse. In vitro, H. rhossiliensis produced 78 to 124 spores/infected J2 of M. hapla. The number of J2 in roots of lettuce seedlings decreased exponentially with increasing numbers of...
متن کاملMethods for the Study of Verticillium chlamydosporium in the Rhizosphere.
Methods for screening isolates of the nematophagous fungus, V. chlamydosporium, for their ability to colonize the surface of plant roots are described. Significant differences in the extent of colonization were observed in sterile conditions and in soil; plant species and cultivars also differed in their ability to support a selected isolate of the fungus. Although fungal density could be estim...
متن کاملSuppression of cyst nematode by natural infestation of a nematophagous fungus.
Penetration of cabbage roots by Heterodera schachtii was suppressed 50-77% in loamy sand naturally infested with the nematophagous fungus Hirsutella rhossiliensis. When Heterodera schachtii was incubated in the suppressive soil without plants for 2 days, 40-63% of the juveniles had Hirsutella rhossiliensis spores adhering to their cuticles. Of those with spores, 82-92% were infected. Infected n...
متن کاملEffects of Carbendazim on the Nematophagous Fungus Hirsutella rhossiliensis and the Ring Nematode.
The nematophagous fungus Hirsutella rhossiliensis Minter and Brady parasitizes CriconemeUa xenoplax (Raski) Luc & Raski in many California stone fruit orchards (5). We assume that the nematode population density would be higher if the fungus were absent, but the suppressive effect of the fungus has not been quantified in the field. Biocides have been used to inhibit antagonists of pests and thu...
