Stand structure contributes to forest biodiversity and productivity. The disparity of stand between fragmented primary forests how they affect carbon storage are poorly understood. This study determined differences among some parameters in the correlation stock. Twenty-five replicate quadrats were established Bukit Durang Division 5, representing forests, Lambir Hills National Park Kubah constitute forests. All trees with diameter at breast height 10 cm above measured, tree species recorded....

Adebola AL, Sepiah M, Bolhassan MH, Wan Zamir M. 2015. Microfungal diversity on leaves of Eusideroxylon zwageri, athreatened plant species in Sarawak, Northern Borneo. Biodiversitas 16: 264-268. A survey the microfungal communities greenleaves and leaf litters an endangered species, zwageri Teijsm. & Binn. (belian) was carried out for first time.A total 200 segments were plated both water agar malt extract agar. 74 fungal identified from typeswith more taxa found green leaves, with a...

The earliest publication related to mushroom poisoning dates back 1837. To date, bibliometric analysis the field of has not been published. This study aimed assess most significant publications in this as well associated trends and important drivers research poisoning. Scopus database was screened identify relevant on A total 985 with a minimum five citations were identified analyzed. Pearson's correlation demonstrated an insignificant weak negative (Pearson's -0.020, P > 0.01) between...

Until recently, Pestalotiopsis species have been identified based on host relationship and conidial dimensions.Pestalotiopsis occur as endophytes, saprobes also pathogens of many plant hosts.This study used molecular phylogenetic relationships ITS sequence data to identify Pestalotiopsis, Neopestalotiopsis Pseudopestalotiopsis in addition their pigmentation from four plants namely Macaranga triloba, sp., Shorea macrophylla Syzygium sp.Based the analysis 18 Pestalotiopsis-like isolates...

South-east Asian dipterocarp forests contain plant species that are vulnerable and at risk of extinction. Microfungi, as important decomposers sources useful metabolites, have not been well studied in regards to their diversity distribution the forests. This study reports microfungal associated with dominant two forests, namely Gunung Gading Kubah National Parks, Sarawak on Borneo Island. Green leaves litters five host plants, Baccaurea sp., Macaranga triloba (Thunb.) Müll.Arg., Shorea...

Ten newly isolated endophytic fungi from Phyllathus niruri Linn. were identified as Fusarium oxysporum. These isolates screened out for their productivity of indole acetic acid (IAA) by the salkowski's method. Out these isolates, two showed high amount production, which FO9 and FO10 with concentration 23.52 μg/ml 5.95 μg/ml, respectively.

Traditionally, the classification of mushroom cultures has conventionally relied on manual inspection by human experts. However, this methodology is susceptible to bias and errors, primarily due its dependency individual judgments. To overcome these limitations, we introduce an innovative approach that harnesses machine learning methodologies automate cultures. Our employs two distinct strategies: first involves utilizing histogram profile HSV color space, while second a convolutional neural...

A microfungal survey was carried out on the living leaves and litters of Licuala bidentata in Kubah National Park Sarawak, Malaysia. total 400 leaf segments (200 for each type) were plated two isolation media (water agar malt extract agar) endophytic saprophytic fungal isolation. Forty-three species obtained from both types, 31 identified 18 litters. Only six common to with 25 12 exclusively litters, respectively. New records fungi this host plant genus include Isthmotricladia laeensis ,...

This study was carried out to examine the effects of sago bark (SB) and frond (SF) waste on growth yield grey oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sajor-caju). Nine substrate formulas were studied, including sawdust (SD) alone as a control combination 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 ratios between SD SB or SF. The results showed significant difference in total colonisation period, fruiting body yield, biological efficiency (BE). However, an insignificant determined characteristics for different formulas....

Harmful effect of synthetic fungicides towards environment and other organisms have become important issues nowadays. Research on the plant product to be developed as an alternative for has attracted interest many scientists. The aim this study is determine antimicrobial properties Elephantopus scaber L. from family Asteraceae against six crop pathogenic fungi viz., Glomerella cingulata (Stoneman) Spauld. & H. Schrenk, Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl., Pyricularia oryzae Cavara, solani...

Pleurotus sajor-caju (Fr.) Sings, a mushroom of the family Pleurotaceae, is gaining popularity due to its high nutrient content and capability growing on various agricultural wastes. There need breed new strain P. meet rising demands increasing human population. Strain improvement achievable through selection hybridization. Unfortunately, there limited information regarding genetic variations sajor caju in Malaysia. Therefore, this study interest document morphological single basidiospore...

Fungi are important decomposers in our ecosystem and useful metabolite production, bio-degradation bio-sorption of different substrates wastes through their mycelial biomass. Fungal species known to have preferences for growth requirements. Two fungal Pestalotiopsis Pseudopestalotiopsis many biotechnological applications were studied. Nutrient physiological requirements biomass production such as carbon nitrogen, pH, light temperature investigated. Both isolates grown liquid basal medium...

In Malaysia, sawdust is widely used as a substrate for the cultivation of grey oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sajor-caju). Due to scarcity and increasing cost sawdust, this research investigated feasibility employing sago hampas an alternative P. sajor-caju. Sarawak, were discarded into river together with wastewater or incinerated, causing water air pollution. study, sajor-caju was grown in five different formulations which are 100% (100SD) control, (100SH), 75% + 25% (75SD:25SH), 50%...
