چکیده

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 estimated using a semi-selective medium, it was not possible to separate differences in vegetative growth from differences in sporulation. There was a weak positive correlation between estimates of fungal density on the roots of plants grown in sterile conditions and the extent of hyphal growth measured by direct observation.

In Vitro Evaluation of Ovicidal and Larvicidal Effects of Culture Filtrate of Verticillium chlamydosporium Against Meloidogyne javanica

Effects of culture filtrate of Verticillium chlamydosporium were evaluated on mortality of larvae and hatching of eggs of Meloidogyne javanica. Mortality of M. javanica larvae was found to be directly proportional to concentrations of culture filtrate of V. chlamydosporium and duration of exposure. Maximum mortality of larvae (65.5%) was observed in 100% concentration of culture filtrate after ...

Meloidogyne incognita Survival in Soil Infested with Paecilomyces lilacinus and Verticillium chlamydosporium.

Meloidogyne incognita-infected tomato seedlings were transplanted into sterilized soil or unsterilized soil collected from 20 California tomato fields to measure suppression caused by Paecilomyces lilacinus, Verticillium chlamydosporium, and other naturally occurring antagonists. Unsterilized soils Q, A, and H contained 35, 39, and 55% fewer M. incognita second-stage juveniles (J2) than did ste...

Fungal Parasites of the Cereal Cyst Nematode Heterodera avenae in Southern Sweden.

Fungal parasites of the cereal cyst nematode Heterodera avenae were isolated from four sites in southern Sweden. In all, 15 different fungi were isolated from different stages of the nematode life cycle. Among the egg parasites, Verticillium chlamydosporium was common in young cysts on roots, whereas an unidentified species of Verticillium (Verticillium sp. 1) was the dominating species in cyst...

Hirsutella 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...

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...
