During isolation of endophytic fungi from medicinal plants, one isolate Mucorales appeared as contaminant in culture plates. A few days later, another was found laboratory on PDA media. Both isolates were examined morphologically and analyzed phylogenetically using ITS LSU rDNA. Based phylogenetic analysis phenotypic characteristics, both recognized a single new species Syncephalastrum named bagoolii sp. nov. The latter differs other the genus by forming merosporangiophores variable length,...
Many filamentous fungi were isolated from the soils of Ny-Ålesund, Spitsbergen, Svalbard, and screened in vitro for their phosphate solubilizing ability. Two strains Aspergillus niger showed good tricalcium (TCP) ability Pikovskaya's medium. The TCP solubilization index was calculated at varying levels pH temperatures. strain-1 to solubilize release inorganic-P 285µg ml-1, while strain-2 solubilized 262 µg ml-1 0.5% after 7 days. This is first report by Arctic that may serve as very...
Soil filamentous fungi from Ny-Ålesund, Spitsbergen, were studied. A total of 30 fungal isolates identified by morpho-taxonomy, and the identity some morpho-taxonomically complex was authenticated ITS1-5.8S ITS2 rDNA domain sequence similarity. The belonged to 19 species under 14 genera (Acremonium, Arthrinium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Corynespora, Emericella, Geomyces, Mortierella, Mucor, Myrothecium, Penicillium, Phialophora, Preussia, Xylaria). To best our knowledge, Acremonium...
Arthrinium rasikravindrii sp. nov. was isolated from soil collected in the arctic archipelago Svalbard, Norway. The new species, distinguished by morphological and vitro cultural characters, forms dark brown lenticular conidia with hyaline equatorial germ slits together balloon-shaped, anomalous uncommon morphologically similar A. phaeospermum . Additionally, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequence analyses support this species as distinct within Isolates previously identified China...
Present study investigates antimicrobial, antioxidant activity and phytochemical profiling of alcoholic extracts whole fruit Actinidia deliciosa (kiwi fruit).Cold hot prepared in methanol ethanol their different concentrations were tested against common nosocomial infections human pathogens skin, gestrointestinal tract upper respiratory tract.Extracts evaluated for constituents activity.Cold ethanolic extract kiwi has good antimicrobial as it inhibited the growth almost all test organisms at...
Soil microbiota plays an important role in enhances the available nutrients soil for plants.In this study twenty-two filamentous fungi were isolated from Okra rhizosphere soil.Based on primary screening phosphate solubilizing potential solid Pikovskaya's medium ten isolates selected quantitative estimation liquid amended with Tricalcium (TCP) and Rock Phosphate (RP).Aspergillus niger strain (AMB) solubilized maximum TCP & RP release 295.1 221.8 µg ml -1 inorganic-P, while Aspergillus...
A new species of Coltricia, C. raigadensis is described from tropical region Maharashtra, India. The recognized on the basis morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses using rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2, partial 28S 18S sequences. Coltricia characterized by centrally stipitate basidiocarps, adpressed velutinate to tomentose pileal surface, small pores (2–4 per mm), globose subglobose, thick walled basidiospores measuring 5.6–7 × 5–6.64 μm.
Two species of Gliocephalotrichum were isolated from fallen fruits the medicinal plant Terminalia chebula collected forests Western Ghats, India. On basis morphological characters and ITS1–5.8S– ITS2 sequence similarity, fungi have been identified as longibrachium G. bulbilium. For former species, this is first report its occurrence India, whereas latter, showing significant variability, has known previously
