Understanding the function of Trichoderma species in the control of Phytophthora drechsleri in pistachio orchards is very important.  In this study, the effects of liquid extra-cellular secretions and volatile compounds secreted by 27 isolates of Trichoderma harzianum, T. crassum, T. koningii, T.aureoviride, T. asperellum, T. brevicompactum, T.longibrachiatum and T. virens were investigated on ...

The incidence of biotic perturbation in plants has been amplified due to increased resistance and the resurgence pathogens. To mitigate stress promote food production, agrochemicals are being used boundlessly they have augmented problem disease re-occurrence agroecosystem degradation. With perception urgency reduce sustainably, present study was undertaken. Four native rhizospheric microbes: Tr...

Haloalkalitolerant fungi can survive in environments with high salt concentrations and pH values. The bioactive compounds produced under stressful conditions have potential biotechnological applications. In this study, 52 microfungi isolated from Acıgöl Lake Türkiye, offering polyextreme conditions, were screened for some properties. antimicrobial antioxidant activities of the isolates determin...

Penicillium brevicompactum highly tolerated cobalt concentrations of 50, 200, 800 and 1000 ppm both through cell wall and intracellular sequestration- immobilization of the metal on/within the cell wall, cell wall thickness, presence of electron-dense deposits inside vacuoles (thiol peptides sequestering cobalt) and in the cytoplasm (cobalt), and presence of matrixed electron-dense deposits, on...

In the most cases of the practical fermentation processes with filamentous microorganisms, direct monitoring of the cell morphology and biomass distribution in the culture medium is not easy possible. Penicillium brevicompactum is one of the morphologically complex filamentous fungi with different structural forms. In this research, nutrient uptake and cell growth kinetics was investigated comp...

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a fungal secondary metabolite and the active component in several immunosuppressive pharmaceuticals. The gene cluster coding for the MPA biosynthetic pathway has recently been discovered in Penicillium brevicompactum, demonstrating that the first step is catalyzed by MpaC, a polyketide synthase producing 5-methylorsellinic acid (5-MOA). However, the biochemical role o...
