Pythium irregulare oomycetes adapts with environmental changes including crude oil concentration by changing the composition of lipids in the cytoplasmic membrane and providing the required characteristics for adaptation in improper and stressful environmental situations. It was found that cultivation of Pythium irregulare LX oomycetes in the nutrient media with different concentrations of crud...

Kinetic analysis was investigated for a carbonlimited medium (C/N ratio = 5.0) supporting the growth of the 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5; x-3) (EPA)accumulating fungal organism Pythium irregulare. The productivity and yield parameters at three temperatures, 14, 21, and 28 C, demonstrated growth-coupled synthesis for lipid-free biomass growth and lipid accumulation. For this system, ...

in vitro and greenhouse studies were conducted to investigate the possibility of an interaction between two systemic insecticides of: thiodicarb (larvin df 80) and imidacloprid (guacho sw 70), and seedling disease organisms of: rhizoctonia solani, fusarium moniliforme and pythium ultimum. when in vitro concentrations of imidacloprid and thiodicarb were applied, a fungistatic activity occurred. ...

eight wheat varieties some of which were earlier reported to be resistant to pythium arrhennmanes, were inoculated with p. arrhenomanes. inoculation was performed by placing 2-day-old seedlings on the edge of a p. arrhenomanes culture on corn meal agar for 3 h at 25°c. infected seedlings were then transferred to test tubes (9 mm dia.) containing glass beads and 1 ml of sterile water, and in...
