Laboratory bench scaling was done and an average of 1.85 fold increase by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) optimization was obtained. It was found that the predicted value (4.96 IU/ml) obtained by RSM is in close accordance with observed activity 5.14 IU/ml. Endoglucanases are mainly induced by CMC while Wheat bran (natural substrate) exoglucanase is more active when induced by avicel and cel...

Seven different strains of Trichoderma are isolated from wilt infected leguminous crops of a Madhya Pradesh state and tested for their antagonistic activity against Fusarium (soil borne pathogen) which is expressed as a zone of inhibition in the culture plates. The seven strains are identified as Trichoderma viride, T. harzianum, T. asperellum, T. koningii, T. atroviride, T. longibrachiatum, an...

Among the single treatments tested under in vivo addition of well decomposed FYM 20 tons per hectare as soil amendment recorded minimum wilt incidence of 3.75, 24.76 and 48.25 % at flowering, fruit formation and ripening stages of chilli crop, respectively, with 61.31 q ha fruit yield as compared to check (42.50 q ha). Dual application of Trichoderma viride 0.16 t ha + FYM 20 t ha recorded mini...

Antibiotic U-22,324 is a polypeptide produced by the fungus Trichoderma viride. Cycloheximide was found to block gross cellular protein synthesis of T. viride with little interference with antibiotic synthesis. No radioactive label was recovered in the ribosomes when labeled amino acids and cycloheximide were added to a culture at the onset of peptide synthesis although net antibiotic synthesis...

KRASTANOV, A. I., V. K. GOCHEV and T. D. GIROVA, 2007. Nutritive medium dependent biosynthesis of extracellular laccase from Trichoderma spp. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci.,13: 349-355 The effect of nutritive medium composition on laccase production by Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma longibrachiatum was studied. On the basis of the results obtained it was determined that glucose concentration higher t...

Tolerance of Trichoderma species collected from tea plantation to fungicides was evaluated in vitro using poisoned food method. Fungicides like Carbendazim 50 WP, Copperoxychloride 50 WP, Hexaconazole 5 EC, and Propiconazole 25 EC were used at two lower and two upper of recommended doses. The growth of T. harzianum was mostly inhibited by the Carbendazim 50 WP and Propiconazole 25 EC with the r...

The present experiment aimed at increasing orange peel and sugar beet pulp protein content through solid-state fermentation by Trichoderma reesei and Trichoderma viride. In vitro digestibility and changes in the chemical composition of the fermented products were determined after seven days of fungal cultivation using gas production tests. The cultivation of T. reesei and T. viride on orange pe...

The present study evaluated the removal efficiency of two dyes, Congo red (CR) and malachite green (MG), using either fresh or dry fungal biomass species Trichoderma (T. virens T. viride) activated carbon. After 24 h, CR obtained with was higher than that For MG dye, average carbon (99%) those viride virens. Experimental results for showed a good correlation Langmuir isotherms. adsorption rates...

The aim of this study was to evaluate and validate the efficiency of 12C6+ irradiation of Aspergillus niger (A. niger) or mutagenesis via mixed Trichoderma viride (T. viride) culturing as well as a liquid cultivation method for cellulase production via mixed Trichoderma reesei (T. reesei) and A. niger culture fermentation. The first mutagenesis approach was employed to optimize yield from a cel...
