The common soil fungus Trichoderma (teleomorph Hypocrea, Ascomycota) shows increasing medical importance as an opportunistic human pathogen, particularly in immunocompromised and immunosuppressed patients. Regardless of the disease type and the therapy used, the prognosis for Trichoderma infection is usually poor. Trichoderma longibrachiatum has been identified as the causal agent in the majori...

Sci.,13: 349-355 The effect of nutritive medium composition on laccase production by Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma longibrachiatum was studied. On the basis of the results obtained it was determined that glucose concentration higher t...

GOCHEV, V. K. and A. I. KRASTANOV, 2007. Isolation of laccase producing Trichoderma spp. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 13: 171-176 Based on its dye decolorization activities four Trichoderma strains were screened as laccase producers. The strains were identified as T. atroviride, T. longibrachiatum, T. reesei, and T. viride. It was determined that it was expedient to screen laccase producing Trichoderm...

Aspergillus and Candida species are the main causative agents of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised human hosts. However, saprophytic fungi are now increasingly being recognized as serious pathogens. Trichoderma longibrachiatum has recently been described as an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients. We herein report a case of isolated suspected invasive pulmonary infectio...

Trichoderma longibrachiatum IMI061758 possesses a powerful cellulose enzyme complex composed by different cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase and /3-glucosidase activities. Recently we have cloned the T. longibrachiatum egll gene encoding a /S-{l,4)-endoglucanase activity (1). From an industrial point of view, we are interested in the design of strains which have an increased egll gene dosage. To ...

The phylogenetically most derived group of the genus Trichoderma - section Longibrachiatum, includes some of the most intensively studied species, such as the industrial cellulase producer T. reesei (teleomorph Hypocrea jecorina), or the facultative opportunistic human pathogens T. longibrachiatum and H. orientalis. At the same time, the phylogeny of this clade is only poorly understood. Here w...

ABSTRACT Nine transformants of Trichoderma longibrachiatum with extra copies of the egl1 gene were studied for mitotic stability, endoglucanase production, and biocontrol activity against Pythium ultimum on cucumber seedlings. The transformants showed a significantly higher level of expression of the egl1 gene in comparison to the wild type under both inducing and noninducing growth conditions....
