The objective of the present study was to isolate fungi from agricultural soils and evaluate fungal growth in culture medium contaminated with atrazine, glyphosate pendimethalin. Filamentous were isolated cultured a modified containing 0, 10, 20, 50, 100 ?g mL-1 pendimethalin for 14 days at 28°C. that presented optimal satisfactory plated Sabouraud 4% dextrose herbicides concentrations seven me...

Los inhibidores fúngicos son alternativas para el manejo de hongos micotoxigénicos, como Aspergillus sp. y Fusarium El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar efecto in vitro extracto Larrea tridentata 95%, azadiractina 85% la mezcla ácido ascórbico 1% + cítrico 0,25% láctico 0,25%, sobre flavus, A. fumigatus verticillioides. Se aplicó un diseño experimental completamente al azar, donde los tratamient...

During 2006 and 2007, a total of 64 Thai dried coffee bean samples (Coffeaarabica) from two growing sites in Chiangmai Province and 32 Thai dried coffeebean samples (Coffea canephora) from two growing sites in Chumporn Province,Thailand, were collected and assessed for fumonisin contamination by blackAspergilli. No Fusarium species known to produce fumonisin were detected, b...

Here, we present the genome sequence of a Korean strain (B14) of Fusarium fujikuroi, a fungal rice pathogen. The final assembly consists of 455 contigs with 43,810,516 bp and 14,017 predicted genes. Comparison with the F. verticillioides 7600 genome revealed a reference coverage of 83% (66.3% of reads mapped).

This article describes the events leading to the discovery of the fumonisins in South Africa in 1988 and highlights the first 10 years (1988-1998) of fumonisin research. The predominant fungus isolated from moldy corn implicated in a field outbreak of equine leukoencephalomalacia (ELEM) in South Africa in 1970 was Fusarium verticillioides (F. moniliforme). This fungus was also prevalent in mold...

Contamination of animal and poultry feeds by Fusarium and the mycotoxin Fumonisin B1 is frequent in the feed supply chain. The present study evaluated the prevalence of fumonisin B1 producing Fusarium among irradiated and non-irradiated animal and poultry feed mixtures. Further, the efficiency of γ-rays (2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 kGy) to minimize Fusarium growth and biosynthesis of fumonisin B1 i...

The methanol leaf extracts of Acacia nilotica, Sida cordifolia, Tinospora cordifolia, Withania somnifer and Ziziphus mauritiana are ethnomedicinally important showed significant antibacterial and activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus aureus and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum and antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Dresc...

to study the population structure of gibberella fujikuroi species complex, the causal agent of rice foot rot, samples were taken from different rice growing regions of guilan province in 2004. among fourty-one isolates recovered from different cultivars; three isolates did not produce microconidial chain. in order to study the sexual fertility and determine the mating type as well as mating pop...
