Bacillus spp. are well known rhizosphere residents of many crops and usually show plant growth promoting (PGP) activities that include biocontrol capacity against some phytopatogenic fungi. Potato crops in the Andean Highlands of Peru face many nutritional and phytophatogenic problems that have a significant impact on production. In this context is important to investigate the natural presence ...

However, some cases of keratitis result from unknown factors. Generally, more than 70 genera of filamentous fungi and yeast have been identified in fungal keratitis. The predominant causes of fungal keratitis are Aspergillus, Acremonium, Penicillium and Fusarium solani which are all non-pigmented fungi. Although Fusarium and Aspergillus clearly dominate the list, causative agents vary in differ...

AIM The main goal of the present research conducted to assess the in vitro activity of the nematophagous fungi Duddingtonia flagrans, Fusarium solani, Verticillium chlamidosporium, and Trichoderma harzianum. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four isolates of fungi including D. flagrans, F. solani, V. chlamidosporium and T. harzianum were used in this study. Horse faeces were used to provide the larvae sta...

Dematiaceous fungi are darkly pigmented, filamentary moulds and are common in the environment as plant saprophytes and pathogens. Incidental reports of corneal ulcers that have been caused by species of this group have appeared in the literature, but the relative importance of this species as potential comeal pathogens has not been appreciated. As a group, second to Fusarium solani and other mo...

Several species of the genus Dickeya provoke soft rot and blackleg diseases on a wide range of plants and crops. Dickeya solani has been identified as the causative agent of diseases outbreaks on potato culture in Europe for the last decade. Here, we report the complete genome of the D. solani IPO 2222T. Using PacBio and Illumina technologies, a unique circular chromosome of 4,919,833 bp was as...

We sought the reservoir of Fusarium species in a hospital with cases of known fusarial infections. Cultures of samples from patients and the environment were performed and evaluated for relatedness by use of molecular methods. Fusarium species was recovered from 162 (57%) of 283 water system samples. Of 92 sink drains tested, 72 (88%) yielded Fusarium solani; 12 (16%) of 71 sink faucet aerators...

Ocimum gratissimum L. or clove basil, belongs to the Lamiaceae family, has various desirable uses and applications. Beyond its aromatic, seasoning, and medicinal applications, this plant also has antimicrobial activity. This study was aimed at assessing the antifungal activity, yield, and composition of the essential oil (EO) of O. gratissimum. The species was cultivated in garden beds with dys...
