Trianthema decandra L. root and root callus extracts of different solvents viz., petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and ethanol were tested against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and also against Fusarium spp. Root callus extract of chloroform and ethanol showed significant activity against Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus. Staphylococcus aureus, Staph. epidermis and also aga...

Mango, banana, papaya, pineapple, and avocado are categorized as major tropical fruits grown for local consumption, export, sources of income to the growers. These fruit crops susceptible infection by Fusarium in field, after harvest, it causes root rot, vascular wilt, stem rot. Among most common economically important species associated with diseases F. oxysporum solani, which prevalent region...

This study was carried out to determine the antifungal effects of supernatant produced by bacterium Xenorhabdus szentirmaii, which is associated with soil-inhabiting entomopathogenic nematodes, on important plant pathogenic fungi, Fusarium verticilliodes, oxysporum f.sp lycopersici, radicis Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Phytophthora nicotianae. The 1, 3, 5 7% concentrations X. ...

Genetic diversity and identification of fumonisin-producing isolates of Fusarium verticillioides from two provinces in the Philippines were analyzed using molecular techniques. Using a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based technique, 49 of the 54 isolates were identified as F. verticillioides, with an amplified product of 800 bp using VERT-1 and VERT-2 primers. Of these, VERTF-1/VERTF-2 primers...

BACKGROUND Sophorolipids are one of the most promising glycolipid biosurfactants and have been successfully employed in bioremediation and various other industrial sectors. They have also been described to exhibit antimicrobial activity against different bacterial species. Nevertheless, previous literature pertaining to the antifungal activity of sophorolipids are limited indicating the need fo...

Abstract In this research, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were prepared via a facile one-pot chemical precipitation approach and applied in the adsorption of bromophenol blue (BRB) as antifungal agents against filamentous fungi plant pathogens; Alternaria alternata CGJM3078, CGJM3006 Fusarium verticilliodes CGJM3823. The ZnONPs characterized by UV–Vis, FTIR, XRD, TGA, BET, SEM, TEM, EDX tech...
