Marine macrophytes are the foundation of algal forests and seagrass meadows¬–some most productive diverse coastal marine ecosystems on planet. These provide nursery grounds food for fish invertebrates, coastline protection from erosion, carbon sequestration, nutrient fixation. For macrophytes, temperature is generally important range limiting factor, ocean warming considered severe threat among global climate change factors. induced losses dominant along their equatorial edges, as well...
Fifty four Trichoderma strains were isolated from soil samples collected garlic and onion crops in eight different sites Brazil identified using phylogenetic analysis based on combined ITS region, tef1-α, cal, act rpb2 sequences. The genetic variability of the recovered species was analysed by AFLP their phenotypic determined MALDI-TOF. strain clusters both typing techniques coincided with taxonomic determinations made analysis. showed occurrence asperellum, asperelloides, afroharzianum,...
Biological control of seed-borne pathogens has shown to enhance germination and physiological quality seeds. The objectives this study were evaluate the in vitro antagonistic effect five Trichoderma harzianum isolates (CEN287, CEN288, CEN289, CEN290, CEN316) against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (Foxy) test its potential use seed treatment. Initially, pathogen antagonists grown paired cultures at 25ºC, from which samples assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Then, clean or...
Abstract Antibiosis is the mechanism by which certain microorganisms respond to presence of others, secreting compounds or metabolites capable inhibiting impeding their development. The crude extract Trichoderma contains a mixture secondary compounds, may show antibiotic effect, and has been used for prospect this fungus biological control other industrial purposes. Faced with increasing demand agriculture ecologically compatible alternatives management diseases, work aimed investigate...
ABSTRACT Improved understanding of the importance different surfaces in supporting attached nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria is essential if we are to optimize N removal capacity treatment wetlands. The aim this study was therefore examine a constructed wetland assess relative these for overall wetland. Intact sediment cores, old pine spruce twigs, shoots Eurasian watermilfoil ( Myriophyllum spicatum L.), filamentous macro‐algae were collected July November 1999 two basins system. One...
A partir de 40 amostras solo, provenientes dos estados do Rio Grande Sul, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Bahia, Goiás e Tocantins, uma coleção 230 isolados monospóricos Trichoderma spp. foi estabelecida, usando o meio seletivo TSM. Com objetivo selecionarem-se com potencial para controle biológico doenças, foram conduzidos testes pareamento culturas em BDA, a 20 ºC Sclerotinia sclerotiorum 25 Fusarium solani f.sp. phaseoli. Antagonismo contra os dois patógenos observado 10% isolados. Avaliações ao...
The substantial negative impact of some parameters on the germination low-quality conidia (high proportion slow-germinating propagules) was demonstrated, whereas for high-quality batches their effect small or even absent. Germination increased as initial hydration status immediately prior to suspension preparation increased, being ca. 33% and 80% dehydrated Metarhizium anisopliae propagules (water activity ≤0.314) from low- after an 18 h incubation period, respectively, 63% 95% hydrated =...
Previous studies of the benthic community in Mondego estuary revealed that Cyathura carinata has spatially and temporally stable populations, significant biomass throughout year, is one most abundant species estuary. The present work was carried out to study its population dynamics life cycle relation physicochemical factors, estimate productivity within intertidal mud flats. sampled every two weeks from November 1990 December 1991. It exhibited a contagious spatial distribution eulittoral...
