Leaf spot of safflower caused by Alternaria carthami Chowdhury is common in all the safflower growing regions of the world. The disease was reported from India by Chowdhury (1944) and subsequently from erstwhile USSR (Nelen and Vasileva, 1960), United States (United States Department of Agriculture, 1961), Ethiopia and Kenya (Ellis and Holliday, 1970), Africa (Weiss, 1971), Australia (Irwin, 19...

Alternaria brassicicola causes dark spot (or black spot) disease, which is one of the most common and destructive fungal diseases of Brassicaceae spp. worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain Abra43. The assembly comprises 29 scaffolds, with an N50 value of 2.1 Mb. The assembled genome was 31,036,461 bp in length, with a G+C content of 50.85%.

Caspofungin inhibits synthesis of beta-D-1,3 glucan, essential to cell walls in Candida and Aspergillus spp., but activity against less common molds is largely uncharacterized. We demonstrate that caspofungin inhibits beta-D-1,3 glucan synthesis and reduces in vitro growth of clinical isolates from the genera Alternaria, Curvularia, Scedosporium, Acremonium, Bipolaris, and Trichoderma.

Symptoms of seed rot Hyssopus officinalis L. were noticed during health testing in 2018. According to morphological and cultural characteristics, isolates belong Fusarium spp. Alternaria spp.. Based on pathogenic properties, as well sequence analysis, isolate designated 4003/3 was identified graminearum deposited NCBI gene bank under Acc. Number MK061542. To our knowledge F. the causal agent Se...

The antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract obtained from Rauvolfia tetraphylla was tested against bacterial species of Escherichia coli ATCC 69314, Streptococcus lactis NCIM 50038, Enterobacter aerogenes NCIM 2340, Alcaligenes faecalis ATCC 15246, Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 2200, Proteus vulgaris ATCC 6380 and fungal species of Fusarium oxysporum NCIM 1008, Alternaria helianthii ATCC 201540...

To isolate keratinophilic fungi in sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants in Sari city, Mazandaran province, Islamic Republic of Iran, samples were taken from 7 plants with different sewage treatment technologies. From 35 sludge samples cultured on Sabouraud's agar with cycloheximide and chloramphenicol, 326 fungal colonies belonging to 7 species were isolated. Geotrichum (59.5%), Clado...

The paper presents the results of research on identifying biological efficiency preparations Scarlet, ME and Fungilex, L for presowing treatment faba beans seeds. effect is observed up to BBCH 35 (the 5th stretched joint can be seen). It’s established that seeds are infected with fungi Alternaria spp., Fusarium spp. Botrytis fabae. For 2017-2021 Penicillium, Mucor, Rhizopus, Cladosporium, Asper...

Material and Methods: Sample size; 200 nail samples, Sampling Technique; Non probability convenience sampli...

in this study, 42 samples of silage were collected in qaemshahr city in iran during fall 2011. samples were tested by competitive elisa for total aflatoxins. seven samples (16.7%) (mean±se:1.24) from 42 silage samples were positive with total aflatoxin (1.1-27.3 ppb) in nov., dec. and oct. the highest contamination was observed in oct., three samples (21.4%) from 14 samples were contaminated wi...
