We studied the influence of olive mill dry residue (DOR) treated with saprobe fungi on growth of tomato and alfalfa colonized by Glomus deserticola. The application of 25g kg(-1) of dry DOR to soil decreased the shoot and root dry weight of tomato and alfalfa. Plants were more sensitive to the toxicity of DOR when colonized with the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The sensitivity of both pla...

Mushrooms are macrofungi that famous for their nutritional and pharmaceutical values. On the other hand, lichens form of symbiosis representing complex relation between fungi algae. Understanding ability to grow over anything, this review is focusing on endophytic capable growing in association with mushrooms lichens, respectively. Although reports describing these rare, it important highlight ...

Introduction: Nutritional requirements of fungi are essential for their successful growth in laboratories. Some fungi feed on the compounds present in the insects' bodies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of insects' body powder (IBP) as a supplement for the fungi growth in culture media. Methods: We used 10 mg of IBP, obtained from Anopheles superpictus and Culex theileri mosqu...

this study was carried out to continue identifying unknown and less known anamorphic fungi from guilan province. plant materials with fungal signs and symptoms were collected and examined to identify causal agents. four species viz. alternariacalendulae (on calendulaofficinalis), pseudocercosporasordida(on campsis sp.), thedgonia ligustrina (on ligustrum vulgare) and zygosporium oscheoides (on ...

microorganisms are important components of soil. some soil filamentous fungi such aspenicilium produce many bioactive small molecules, or secondary metabolites, that range frombeneficial bioactive compounds to harmful toxins. in this study, the metabolites of threepenicillium species (p. goditanum, p. moldavicum and p. corylophilum) were extracted byadding ethyl acetate to liquid cultures. the ...

during the last two decades or so, the incidence of fungal infections has increased dramatically. deep- seated mycoses are creating serious problems for clinicians working with certain populations of patients, such as those with cancer, the immunocompromised, and physiologically compromised. a study of fungal isolated for identification of deep fungal infections, risk factors and etiologic agen...

background : the aim of this study was to detect fungi in atherosclerotic plaques and investigate their possible role in atherosclerosis. methods : coronary atherosclerotic plaques specimen were obtained from patients with atherosclerosis. direct exami-nation, culture, histopathology study, pcr and sequencing were performed to detect/identify the mycotic elements in the plaques. age, sex, smoki...

abstract sclerogenic fungal pathogens, are among the most important diseases of rice plant. sheath blight caused by rhizoctonia solani is one of the economically important diseases that attack a wide range of hosts. stem rot (magnaporthe salvinii) has also been found with different severity in most fields of guilan province. to determine sclerogenic fungal pathogens of rice plant, 141 isolates ...
