Fusarium moniliforme is one of the major seed borne pathogen rice in Bangladesh that causes significant yield loss. To observe incidence and transmission this pathogen, farmers saved seeds from BADC were collected pathogens detected by blotter method. The prevalence F. varied according to locations seasons. highest 18% infection was recorded Boro Netrakona district lowest 2% Gazipur district. E...

More than 120 isolates of lactic acid bacteria obtained from Kimchi was screened for antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus. Approximately 10% of the isolates showed inhibitory activity and only 4.16% (five isolates) exhibited strong activity against the indicator fungus A. fumigatus. The five isolates showed a wide rang of antifungal activity against A. flavus, Fusarium moniliforme,...

Understanding genetic structure and status of genetic variation of Fasciola hepatica isolates from different hosts, has important implications on epidemiology and effective control of fasciolosis. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) was used to study the genetic variation of F. hepatica in sheep and cattle. DNA was extracted from adult helminthes removed from livers of each infected ani...

Susceptibility to autologous and heterologous neutralization of primary human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 isolates belonging to subtype B, to the B"-variant of subtype B or to subtype F from infected individuals residing in Rio de Janeiro was assayed. A lower infectivity of the B"- and F isolates when compared to the classical B-subtype HIV-1 isolates was observed. Comparisons of neutralizat...

Chrysanthemum morifolium is one of the most famous cut flowers with a high ornamental value, occupying an irreplaceable position in international flower commerce. But frequently occurred fungal diseases limit production this plant. A total five fungicides viz., CM-75 WP, Dithane M 45, Ridomil Gold MZ 68 WG, Rovral 50 WP and Score 250 EC were selected to evaluate vitro efficacy at 100, 200, 300,...

Fusarium verticillioides, F. proliferatum, and F. meridionale were identified as the predominant fungi among 116 Fusarium isolates causing maize ear and kernel rot, a destructive disease in Chongqing areas, China. The toxigenic capability and genotype were determined by molecular amplification and toxin assay. The results showed that the key toxigenic gene FUM1 was detected in 47 F. verticillio...

A fusarin C-producing Fusarium moniliforme strain was grown in submerged culture with defined media containing differing amounts of glucose (30 g/l or 90 g/l) and zinc (5 ppb or 3200 ppb). The influence of zinc on fusarin C synthesis and lipid composition was dependent on the initial glucose concentration. In cultures supplied with 30 g/l glucose, zinc inhibited fusarin C and lipid synthesis by...

Fumonisin B1, a recently discovered mycotoxin, was synthesized by submerged cultures of Fusarium moniliforme NRRL 13616 grown for 29 days at 28 degrees C and 220 rpm in a basal salts medium (pH 5.0) supplemented with 90 g of glucose per liter and 3.5 g of ammonium sulfate per liter. Under these culture conditions, 74 +/- 23 micrograms of fumonisin B1 per ml was produced by 29-day-old F. monilif...
