Samuels, G. J. 2006. Trichoderma: Systematics, the sexual state, and ecology. Phytopathology 96:195-206. A chronology is presented that charts the development of a genus and species concept in Trichoderma. Eighty-nine species of Trichoderma have been named, and several species of Hypocrea have been linked to unnamed Trichoderma anamorphs. Eighty-three taxa of Trichoderma and their teleomorphs, ...

With the rising demand for renewable energy and environmental protection, anaerobic digestion of biogas technology has attracted considerable attention within the scientific community. The effect of physico-chemical pretreatment on cellulose degradation followed by fungal treatment by Aspergillus terreus and Trichoderma viride to treat cellulosic biomass for enhancing its digestibility was inve...

The new species Trichoderma martiale was isolated as an endophyte from sapwood in trunks of Theobroma cacao (cacao, Malvaceae) in Brazil. Based on sequences of translation-elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) and RNA polymerase II subunit (rpb2) T. martiale is a close relative of, and morphologically similar to, T. viride, but differs in the production of discrete pustules on corn meal-dextrose aga...

Pathogenic effect of an indigenous entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis indica and commercial biopesticides of three fungal pathogens (M. anisopliae, B. bassiana and T. viride), one antagonistic bacteria (P. fluorescence), and two neem based biopesticides (Neem and Nimor) were tested on the Greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella larva under laboratory condition. The efficacy of the biopest...

We purified four xylan-degrading enzymes (endo-xylanases: EC 3.2.1.8) produced in vitro by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (Fol). The xylanases were resolved by a combination of ion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and preparative native-PAGE electrophoresis. They had molecular masses of 38, 34, 22 and 19 kDa, pI higher than 9.3, endo-cleavage mechan...

EVSTATIEVA, Y., M. BADALOVA, G. CHERNEV, D. NIKOLOVA and V. SAVOV, 2013. New hybrid matrix for immobilization of Trichoderma viride SL-45. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., Supplement 2, 19: 120–122 In this work Trichoderma viride SL-45, was investigated in new a hybrid matrix by immobilizing method. Vegetative culture of this strain was immobilized in four variations of sol-gel hybrid silica materials, co...

Soil microorganisms play an important role in the degradation of PAHs and use various metabolic pathways for this process. The effect soil pH, different amendments co-cultivation fungi on activity ligninolytic enzymes was evaluated. For that purpose, three were studied: Trichoderma viride, Penicillium chrysogenum Agrocybe aegerita. Biodegradation assays with a mixture 200 ppm (fluorene, pyrene,...
