Zearalenone is a mycotoxin produced by several species of Fusarium genus, most notably graminearum and culmorum. This resorcylic acid lactone one the important toxins causing serious animal human diseases. For over two decades it has been known that mycoparasitic fungus Clonostachys rosea (synonym: Gliocladium roseum, teleomorph: Bionectria ochroleuca) can detoxify zearalenone, however no such attributes have described within Trichoderma genus.We screened for presence zearalenone...

Microbes have evolved ways of interference competition to gain advantage over their ecological competitors. The use secreted antagonistic compounds by yeast cells is one the prominent examples. Although this killer behavior has been thoroughly studied in laboratory strains, our knowledge specificity effects nature remains limited. In study, strains were collected from various niches and screened for activity against toxin-sensitive strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae three pathogenic fungi. We...

Fusarium equiseti (Corda) Saccardo is a soil saprophyte and weak pathogen, associated with several diseases of fruit other crops in subtropical tropical areas, but also countries temperate climate. A wide range secondary metabolites has been identified among natural F. populations, zearalenone (ZEA), fusarochromanone fusarenon-X being the most common. In present study, genetic diversity strains from two populations (from Italy Poland) was evaluated by analysing translation elongation factor...

Twelve were identified kernel samples exhibiting symptoms of or rotten kernels at the harvest two locations Poland during seasons 2014. is first complex co-occurrence four mycotoxin groups kernels: group mycohormone zearalenone; trichothecenes - deoxynivalenol nivalenol; fumonisins; cyclic hexadepsipeptides beauvericin enniatins; addition, moniliformin. Four preharvest...

Maize has become one of the most important crops for food and feed production—both as a silage crop residue worldwide. The present study aimed to identify co-occurrence Fusarium subglutinans, verticillioides, Trichoderma atroviride, Sarocladium zeae, Lecanicillium lecanii on maize ear rot. Further, accumulation mycotoxins secondary metabolites spp. in samples was also analyzed. were collected between 2014 2017 from two main growing areas Poland (Greater Silesia region). A significant...

Abstract Nowadays, taking into account environmental degradation, climate changes, as well as, environmentally friendly regulations and increasing ecological awareness of consumers, methods wood protection without negative impact on the environment are being intensively developed. In this study, a mixture chitosan caffeine was proposed preservative. The aim research to evaluate application (medium high molecular weight) an agent limiting leaching from structure treated wood. resistance pine...

Fusarium head blight and maize ear rot are destructive diseases in various cereal production regions, leading to significant yield losses the contamination of grain with mycotoxins. The mycotoxin zearalenone belongs three most important mycotoxins produced by species worldwide; moreover, its hormonal oestrogenic activity is higher than toxicity. compound also exhibits fungitoxic activity. Toxigenic sporulate on crop residues produce inoculum infect next crop. Reduction pathogen sporulation...
