Our investigation of integrated biological control (IBC) started with an assay testing activity of the predacious yeast Saccharomycopsis crataegensis UFMG-DC19.2 against Penicillium digitatum LCP 4354, a very aggressive fungus that causes postharvest decay in oranges. Under unfavourable environmental conditions, the yeast showed a high potential for control (39.9% disease severity reduction) of...

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 ...

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...
