A Gram-negative bacterial isolate, named PG4, was recovered from the rhizosphere of a tobacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Burley) and was identified as Lysobacter capsici based on the sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA and characteristics in the Biolog Identification System. Strain PG4 showed chitinase and protease activity and was able to inhibit the growth of a broad range of p...

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. f.sp. phaseoli (Fop), is one of the important diseases of the common bean in Iran and many of the bean growing countries. Incidence of the disease has been reported in tropical and semi-tropical regions of the world. This study was carried out to characterize genetic diversity of F. oxysporum isolates from the common bean by vegetative compati...

The complete mitogenome of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (FOA), the causal agent destructive fusarium wilt in date palm, is sequenced and assembled. circular isolate Foa44 51,601 bp length contains 26 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, one ribosomal (rRNA), 28 protein-coding genes. A mitogenome-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that FOA congruent with previous nuclear-gene results.

Fifty-two isolates of Fusarium species were obtained from soybean seeds from various parts of Korea and identified as Fusarium oxysporum, F. moniliforme, F. semitectum, F. solani, F. graminearum, or F. lateritium. These isolates were grown on autoclaved wheat grains and examined for toxicity in a rat-feeding test. Nine cultures were toxic to rats. One of these, a culture of Fusarium sp. strain ...

This work is focused on the study of different microorganisms to obtain a high level of lipase. It was selected 6 different microorganisms: Geotrichum candidum NRRLY-552, Geotrichum sp., Fusarium oxysporum and three wild yeasts from Brazil rainforest. Fermentation carried out using agro industrial by-products like corn steep liquor and protein hydrolysed in shaken flasks under different conditi...

PG1, the major endopolygalacturonase of the vascular wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum, was secreted during growth on pectin by 10 of 12 isolates belonging to seven formae speciales, as determined with isoelectric focusing zymograms and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels. A Southern analysis of genomic DNA and PCR performed with gene-specific primers revealed that the...

VATCHEV, T. D., 2015. Fusarium root and stem rot of greenhouse cucumber: aerial distribution of inoculum. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 21: 650–654 Fusarium root and stem rot is one of the most damaging diseases of greenhouse cucumber. This study reveals development and spread of airborne inoculum of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum the causal agent of the disease. Infective propagules of ...

Fungal endophytes are found inside host plants but do not produce any noticeable disease symptoms in their host. In the present study, endophytic Fusarium species were isolated from roots of lawn grass (Axonopus compressus). A total of 51 isolates were recovered from 100 root segments. Two Fusarium species, F. oxysporum (53%) and F. solani (47%), were identified based on macroconidia and conidi...
