Quorum sensing (QS) is a chemical communication process that Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses to regulate virulence and biofilm formation. Disabling of QS is an emerging approach for combating its pathogenicity. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely applied as antimicrobial agents against human pathogenic bacteria and fungi, but not for the attenuation of bacterial QS. Here we mycofabricated...

This article documents the public availability of genome sequence data and assembled contigs representing the partial draft genome of Ophiocordyceps bispora. As one of the few known pathogens of fungus-farming termites, a draft genome of O. bispora represents the opportunity to further the understanding of disease and resistance in these complex termite societies. With the ongoing attempts to r...

Magnaporthe oryzae is a hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen that causes rice (Oryza sativa) blast. Although M. oryzae as a whole infects a wide variety of monocotyledonous hosts, no dicotyledonous plant has been reported as a host. We found that two rice pathogenic strains of M. oryzae, KJ201 and 70-15, interacted differentially with 16 ecotypes of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Strain KJ201 in...

This study included isolating the accompanying and contaminated fungi of Corn Grains in city Al- Diwaniyah collected for period September-December / 2021. A number were identified: it Aternaria arborscens., It was observed that percentage surface associated with non-sterile samples high. Fungal toxins detected fungal leachates one these fungus A. arborescenswas diagnosed phenotype genetically u...

Entomophthora thripidum is an obligate biotrophic insect pathogenic fungus that grows as protoplasts within the hemocoel of thrips. Prior to penetration through the insect cuticle and spore formation at the insect surface the protoplasts switch to hyphal growth. In vitro, the differentiation to hyphal growth was a prerequisite for the subsequent formation of infectious spores and was detected 1...

Application of Chitosan (CH) and salicylic acid (SA) in controlling the fungus Botrytis cinerea that causes gray mold on tomato fruits is a successful safe alternative approach to chemical pesticides. were applied as Pre-harvest treatment at concentration 2000 mg/l 250 mg/L under field conditions three different ripening stages Turning, Pink, Light Red determine best stage for application. The ...

Background Current year 2021, brought a hope for the world due to availability of various vaccines prevent COVID 19. Researchers around Globe, kept working clock dig up correlations this infection. So, that morbidity and mortality rates can be reduced. In all sprint, cases black fungus came into light in India. The Indian researchers identified strong association co infection patients resulting...

Fusarium proliferatum is a well-known plant pathogenic fungus-infected many crops. The present study was carried out to molecularly identified and characterized morphologically F. from various hosts substrates. species identity of the isolates verified as based on TEF-1α sequences phylogenetic analysis indicated high intraspecific variations. RFLP-IGS also variations which were clustered into t...

The spores have formed by fungi and these spores have developed characteristics that enable them to cope with the stresses of survival and disintegration. In the distribution of fungus spores in the atmosphere, it is important in the meteorological factors as well as the features of the fungus. The meteorological factors that play a role in the distribution of fungus spores are temperature, hum...
