The aim of the present study was to examine the abilities of twenty-four isolates belonging to ten different Trichoderma species (i.e., Trichoderma atroviride, Trichoderma citrinoviride, Trichoderma cremeum, Trichoderma hamatum, Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma koningiopsis, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Trichoderma longipile, Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma viridescens) to inhibit the myce...

Fifteen fungal and three bacterial biological control agents (F-BCA B-BCA, respectively) were isolated from the canola production areas of Western Australia to investigate their potential for controlling sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum under in vitro field conditions. The capacity these isolates inhibit mycelial growth sclerotia formation S. was assessed dual cultu...

Drought stress poses a serious threat to Pinus massoniana seedling growth in southern China. Trichoderma species, as beneficial microorganisms, have been widely used agriculture enhance plant and drought tolerance, but the interaction mechanisms remain unclear. To investigate effect of drought-resistant longibrachiatum inoculation on P. under stress, physiological indicators rhizosphere microbi...

A marine Ascidian-associated fungus, Trichoderma harzianum, (NIO/BCC2000-51) was assessed for its in vitro antagonistic activity against ten fungal phytopathogens and three food-infesting fungi. Fractionation of the cell-free culture filtrate of T. harzianum (NIO/BCC2000-51) showed its ethyl acetate (EA) fraction to be significantly active against fungal phytopathogens; Macrophomina sp, Pyricul...

Two incubation runs were conducted with Rusitec fermenters to investigate the effects of three additive treatments (mixed fibrolytic enzymes from Trichoderma longibrachiatum (FE), disodium fumarate (FUM) and both additives (MIX)) on rumen microbial growth and fermentation of a grass hay:concentrate (600 : 400 g/kg DM) substrate. Each fermenter received daily 20 g substrate DM. Application rate ...

Peptaibols are small linear fungal peptides which are produced in the marine environment. They exhibit neurotoxicity by forming pores in neuronal membranes. This work describes their combine effect with domoic acid, a neurotoxic phycotoxin, on Diptera larvae. The Acute toxicity bioassay on this biological model was tested with a panel of different toxins (microbial, algal or fungal). It allowed...
