This paper reported on the various filamentous fungi strains that were isolated from a wild grown Catharanthus roseus. Based on the morphological characteristics and molecular technique through a Polymerase Chain Reaction and DNA sequencing method using internal transcribed spacer (ITS), these fungi had been identified as a Colletotrichum sp., Macrophomina phaseolina, Nigrospora sphaerica and F...

The fungus Macrophomina phaseolina is a phytopathogen of great importance attacking various crops and causing severe losses especially in sorghum, beans, soybeans others. Since acetic indole acid (AIA) hormone that some authors associate with the pathogenic power other fungi such as Fusarium oxysporum, it was decided to perform this work detect whether M isolated from beans layers producing AIA...

on the basis of preliminary in vitro screening tests, a competent strain of pantoea agglomerans ena1 (p. agg. ena1) recovered from soybean nodule was evaluated for its antagonistic activity against macrophomina phaseolina causal agent of charcoal rot of soybean. the results of various in vitro assays showed that p. agg. ena1 is capable of exerting strong antagonistic effect against m. phaseolin...
