Pythium species are cosmopolitan, fungus-like oomycotes which may cause diseases in plants, animals and even human beings. Some of the species, however, are saprophytes and also well-proven biological control agents of plant pathogenic fungi. Since 1968, when the first Pythium species was reported from Iran, ca 44 species, two varieties, and five groups of this genus have been reported from dif...

With the birth of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, genomic data in public databases have increased exponentially. Unfortunately, exogenous contamination or intracellular parasite sequences assemblies could confuse analysis. Meanwhile, they can provide a valuable resource for studies host-microbe interactions. Here, we used strategy based on DNA barcodes to scan protistan GenBank WGS...

Introduction Fungi are adapted to a diverse array of freshwater ecosystems. In streams and rivers, flowing water provides a mechanism for downstream dispersal of fungal propagules. The dominant group of fungi in these habitats, aquatic hyphomycetes, have conidia that are morphologically adapted (tetraradiate and sigmoid) for attachment to their substrates (leaf litter andwoody debris from ripar...

Abstract Table olive wastewaters represent a big problem for factories not yet solved. Some partial solutions are the purification, reuse or generation of smaller volume these liquids. The purpose this study was to investigate possibility obtaining concentrate that can be stable over time and has biofertilizing capacity on tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants. In study, washing waters from ...
