In this study, the nearly complete sequence (14,519 bp) of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the entomophagous endoparasite Xenos vesparum (Insecta: Strepsiptera) is described. All protein coding genes (PCGs) are in the arrangement known to be ancestral for insects, but three tRNA genes (trnA, trnS(gcu), and trnL(uag)) have transposed to derived positions and there are three tandem copies of trn...

In vitro rearing of entomophagous insects (IVREI) can be conducted with two main aims: firstly to develop an efficient tool for researches on insect biology, physiology, and behaviour, secondly to mass-produce insects for applied use. It was conceived in the 1940's, but really investigated from the 50's. Several teams, including less than one hundred main researchers, distributed among about a ...

The majority of diseases caused by air pollution, such as asthma and allergies, are caused by pathogenic bacteria, which are transmitted through bioaerosols. Bacteria and fungi are the main sources of hospital infections causing the majority of diseases and cases of mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the ratio of indoor to outdoor fungi concentration, the effect of population den...

the isolated fungi species of different kinds from chromium contaminated soil sites located in nagalkeni, chennai were used for reducing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater of nagalkeni, chennai.  the experiments were conducted to know biosorption potential of isolated fungi species for removing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater against the different ph, fungi biomass and ...

The systematic and long-term use of pesticides in fruit plantations leads to the formation resistant pest populations. purpose this work was evaluate effectiveness entomophages acariphages for protection apple orchards. Against dominant Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus), Habrobracon hebetor (Say) used, which caught Krasnodar Territory using cassettes with caterpillars attractive H. hebetor. To determi...

in this study , samples of oily nuts using for human consumption ( pistachio- peanuts- walnut …..) were randomly obtained from markets in three geografical regions (south, east and west) of tehran. they were immidiatedly sent to mycology lab. then they were prepared for detection of fungi on sabour glucose , rose bangal and chapex agars. analysis of fungi were done by slide-culture, detection o...

Fungal acquisition of resources is difficult to assess in the field. To determine whether fungi received carbon from recent plant photosynthate, litter or soil-derived organic (C:N bonded) nitrogen, we examined differences in δ13C among bulk tissue, structural carbon, and protein extracts of sporocarps of three fungal types: saprotrophic fungi, fungi with hydrophobic ectomycorrhizae, or fungi w...
