Dextranase (α-1,6-D-glucan, 6-glucanohydrolase; E.C.3.2.1.11) is an enzyme which hydrolizes the α1,6 glucosidic linkages in dextran, found in higher plants, mammalian tissues, fungi and bacteria [1]. The enzyme has several applications in medicine and sugar industry because of its hydrolizing capacity of dextran. The presence of dextran has many negative effects in sugar processing levels such ...

We have investigated the presence of fungal egg-parasites in Spanish soils with plant endoparasitic nematodes. Nine out of 68 samples (13%) yielded fungal parasites. The most common (seven strains) was Pochonia chlamydosporia var. chlamydosporia (= Verticillium chlamydosporium var. chlamydosporium), but Lecanicillium lecanii (= Verticillium lecanii) and Paecilomyces lilacinus were also found. M...

Rhizosphere fungal community play a crucial role in the development and productivity of plants. Microscopic fungi have shown considerable promise for root pathogen control, which calls knowledge their colonization distribution rhizosphere. Herein, studies on funga associated with soya bean rhizosphere vitro antagonistic activity were studied. Soya seeds planted soils collected from rhizospheric...
