The aim of the research was to determine the impact of fermentation with Pleurotus ostreatus on kidney beans, black beans, and oats. The results indicate that the fungus has a positive effect on the substrates when compared to the controls. The antioxidant activity (39.5% on kidney beans and 225% on oats in relation to the controls) and content of total polyphenols (kidney beans three times hig...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi colonize roots improving plant water status and tolerance to drought. However, it is not clear whether the presence of AM would affect the photosynthesis and antioxidant gene-enzymes response, which help to alleviate drought stress of the host plant. Here, pot experiments were performed to investigate the effects of Rhizophagus irregularis, an AM fungus, on the...

European species of the Mycetophilaruficollis group are compared on the basis of morphology and sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit one (COI) and the ITS2 region of nuclear ribosomal DNA. The study represents the first evaluation of morphology-based species delimitation of closely related fungus gnat species by applying molecular information. Detailed descriptions and illustra...

Black fungus, with high nutritional and medicinal value, has been cultivated in China for a long time, Heilongjiang alone accounts about 40% of the global output. At present, cultivation black fungus derives mainly from inheritance relatively primitive practices experience farmers, resulting inconsistent quality fungus. In this study, smart control system precision was designed by using intelli...

Light microscope descriptions of meiosis I in males of the fungus gnat Sciara coprophila suggested the presence of a monopolar spindle in which maternal and limited chromosomes move poleward while paternal chromosomes "back away" from the pole. The ultrastructural analysis reported here, based upon serial sections of cells in different stages of meiosis I, shows that the spindle is indeed monop...

Mycelial development of Phanerochaete velutina extending from wood inocula in 57 x 57 cm trays of non-sterile soil was characterized after adding: (1) collembola; (2) new wood resources; (3) both new wood resources and collembola; and (4) no new resources and no collembola. After 99 d, all systems had produced distinct mycelial cords, much of the diffuse mycelium and thinner cords that were pro...

Background: Black mould rot of garlic caused by Aspergillus niger, is the most destructive disease in storage as well field conditions. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate bio-efficacy antagonists and culture filtrates Trichoderma spp., against black garlic. Methods: For eco-friendly effective management mold garlic, eight antagonist six spp. were selected screened dual poison...

Five species of black fungus gnats Corynoptera furcifera Mohrig & Mamaev, 1987, Cratyna (Cratyna) fulvicauda (Felt, 1898), Lycoriella lundstromi (Frey, 1948), Pseudolycoriella paludum 1948) and Xylosciara (Xylosciara) heptacantha Tuomikoski, 1957 are recorded from Ukraine for the first time. Distributions these summarized diagnoses provided.

Conidiomata of a fungus resembling Chrysoporthe cubensis, a serious canker pathogen of Eucalyptus spp. (Myrtaceae, Myrtales) in tropical and subtropical parts of the world, was found on Eucalyptus grandis in Colombia. Fruiting structures of the fungus could be distinguished from those of C. cubensis by their distinctly orange conidiomatal necks. This fungus also was found on several plant speci...

Introduction: The emergence of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has conditioned whole world to search for an ultimate cure infection. Therefore, all countries with no exception have embraced vaccines in addition other pharmacological drugs. consequences include material and human losses countries. Another emerging is a black fungus. fungus pathological phenomenon that arises as...
