Se ha determinado la presencia de hongos toxigénicos en los principales productos cadena productiva del maíz que son tierra cultivo, choclo, maíz, pelado y harina maíz. Los cuales proceden tres provincias Departamento Junín (Huancayo, Concepción Chupaca). El objetivo este trabajo fue cuantificar, aislar e identificar presentes esta cadena, para proponer medidas control evitar su proliferación. ...

Peel tissue of citrus fruit rotted by Penicillium digitatum Sacc. and P. italicum Wehmer was similar in degree of softness and relative water content. Pectolytic enzymes produced by these fungi degraded pectin of the cell wall middle lamella resulting in loss of cell coherence. This pro cess is considered important in aiding hyphal penetration. Rate of development of the decay was not determine...

Invasive aspergillosis is one of the serious problems in patients with hematological malignancies. Early diagnosis is very important because of the high mortality. Noninvasive tests, including screening of Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) antigen, (133)-D-glucan, and Aspergillus DNA, have been studied for early diagnosis to improve the treatment. Although the optimal method has not been clear, am...

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...

Abstract Background Green mold disease on citrus caused by Penicillium digitatum is the most serious and destructive disease. It causing 90% of production losses during post-harvest handling. Results In this study, activity seven yeast isolates from lemons against P. , a fungal pathogen that causes green in lemons, was isolated examined. vitro experiments showed isolate three significantly redu...
