چکیده

The structure of hyphal walls of Pythium debaryanum was investigated by electron microscopy of shadowed replicas and thin sections, before and after digestion by snail gut enzymes or by 1 n HCl at 100 C for 1 hr, and by X-ray diffraction. We found that the wall had two phases, one composed of microfibrils of unknown composition and a second consisting of an amorphous matrix, part of which stained like protein with potassium permanganate and part of which was removed by snail-gut enzymes. In the microfibrillar phase, there were two layers; an outer, thicker layer of randomly disposed microfibrils and an inner, thin layer of microfibrils oriented parallel to the hyphal axis. As in Neurospora crassa, the amorphous phase included a branching system of pores, 40-80 A in diameter. Unlike N. crassa, the cytoplasm of Pythium showed Golgi bodies frequently, and many lomasomes were observed between the cytoplasmic membrane and the wall. The relations between these organelles and the mechanism of wall formation in Pythium are not understood.

In vitro Evaluation of Biocontrol Agents Against Damping Off Disease Caused by Pythium debaryanum on Tomato

Damping-off diseases incited by different species of Pythium are a persistent problem worldwide, often resulting in reduced yields and occasionally resulting in major crop damage. There have been increasing restrictions on the use of chemical fungicides, and the development of disease-suppressive biocontrol agents has become a major goal of horticulture crops. An experiment was conducted with t...

Antagonistic Activity of Fungi Against Pythium debaryanum (Hesse) Isolated From Chilli Field Soil

Fungal phytopathogens are cause of many plant diseases and much loss of crop yields, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Chemical fungicides are extensively used in agriculture. However, these products may cause problems such as environmental pollution and affect human health. Microorganisms as biocontrol agents have high potential to control plant pathogens and no effect on the env...

Trehalose induces antagonism towards Pythium debaryanum in Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 17400.

Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 17400 shows in vitro activity against Pythium debaryanum under conditions of iron limitation. A lacZ reporter gene introduced by transposon mutagenesis into the P. fluorescens ATCC 17400 trehalase gene (treA) was induced by a factor released by the phytopathogen Pythium debaryanum. The induction of the lacZ gene was lost upon treatment of the Pythium supernatant wit...
