during 2003-2004, a number of rhizospheric soil samples were collected of either healthy or symptomatic field grown melon plants infected with fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis race1/2 (fom). twenty one bacterial strains capable of inhibiting fom including burkholderia sp., bacillus sp., streptomyces sp. and pseudomonas fluorescens were isolated. the strains colonized roots of “long melon” cult...

In a previous study we demonstrated a superfusion technique which allows for investigation of nerve-immune cell interaction in murine spleen. We demonstrated that under septic-like conditions in the presence of bacteria and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), electrically induced inhibition of interleukin 6 (IL-6) secretion was attenuated by the beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol. This effect was now...

Screening for microorganisms with antagonistic activity against crop pathogens is essential microbial antagonist preparation, disease control, and sustainable agricultural development. This study established a rapid, efficient, one-step high-throughput method screening endophytic bacteria displaying Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) ACCC36020 in rice seeds. The experimental results indicated that ...

Background: Black mould rot of garlic caused by Aspergillus niger, is the most destructive disease in storage as well field conditions. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate bio-efficacy antagonists and culture filtrates Trichoderma spp., against black garlic. Methods: For eco-friendly effective management mold garlic, eight antagonist six spp. were selected screened dual poison...

root colonization by antagonist bacteria has been considered as a prerequisite for a successful biocontrol. for an effective suppression of plant disease, an efficient and fast colonization is necessary to prevent the establishment of pathogen on the root system. colonization of canola root by strain utpf86 were investigated with and without rhizoctonia solani ag-4, under greenhouse conditions....

Introduction. Public healthcare urgently needs new pharmaceuticals – alternative to traditional antibiotics that pathogens develop no resistance to. Of special interest in this regard are antimicrobial, ribosomally synthesized bacterial peptides or bacteriocins. In work, we aimed study the structure and properties of antimicrobial produced by antagonist microorganisms isolated from natural obje...
