Palumbo, J. D., Yuen, G. Y., Jochum, C. C., Tatum, K., and Kobayashi, D. Y. 2005. Mutagenesis of β-1,3-glucanase genes in Lysobacter enzymogenes strain C3 results in reduced biological control activity toward Bipolaris leaf spot of tall fescue and Pythium damping-off of sugar beet. Phytopathology 95:701-707. Lysobacter enzymogenes produces extracellular lytic enzymes capable of degrading the ce...

We report the use of three glycosidase inhibitors, the bean polygalacturonase inhibiting protein 2 (PvPGIP2), the kiwi pectin methyl esterase inhibitor (AcPMEI), and the Triticum aestivum xylanase inhibitor III (TAXI-III), to control leaf blotch and Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) symptoms caused by the fungal pathogens Bipolaris sorokiniana and Fusarium graminearum. We produced transgenic durum whe...

Bipolaris maydis race T toxin (BmT), and its functional analog, methomyl, uncoupled Texas male-sterile (T) cytoplasm mitochondria by decreasing the resistance of the inner membrane to protons. However, unlike protonophoric or ionophoric agents, BmT toxin and methomyl induced irreversible swelling. Packed volume measurements showed that mitochondrial volume was irreversibly increased by methomyl...

Phaeohyphomycosis is a rare but emerging disease caused by dematiaceous fungi. Here we describe the case of an immunosuppressed dog with disseminated phaeohyphomycosis secondary to Bipolaris spicifera infection. Regionally extensive infiltration of the paw pads, skin, myocardium, liver, renal interstitium and diaphragm was identified on histopathology. Candida glabrata and Fusarium oxysporum we...

Bee pollen, which is filled into the cells of honeycomb by honeybees to use in nutrition, enriched with digestive enzymes and organic acids from honey salivary gland secretions honeybees. Lactic acid fermentation takes place comb cell under anaerobic conditions bee bread formed. We have limited knowledge about bacteria yeasts are involved process. Samples collected 8 different beehives same api...

During a survey of the mycobiota sourgrass (Digitaria insularis), graminaceous weed from Brazil, severe foliage blight symptoms were observed on plants at different places state Minas Gerais. A fungus identified as Bipolaris yamadae, after polyphasic study, including analysis ITS, GPDH and TEF-1α genes, was isolated diseased tissues. Pathogenicity to confirmed through inoculations healthy plant...

The in vitro activity of voriconazole was compared with that of itraconazole. Eighty-six isolates of pathogenic molds belonging to 23 species were tested by an agar dilution method in High Resolution medium. Voriconazole was more active than itraconazole against a number of hyaline molds, including several Fusarium spp. and Scedosporium prolificans. Voriconazole and itraconazole showed comparab...
