Evaluation of the effect of chitin-rich residues on the chitinolytic activity of Trichoderma harzianum: In vitro and greenhouse nursery experiments

The chitin-rich residues obtained from several industries have numerous applications in diverse fields such as biotechnology, pharmacology, medicine and agriculture. In this study, three different chitin-rich residues were evaluated with regard to enhancement of the chitinolytic activity of the mycoparasitic fungus Trichoderma harzianum, used for biological control of Fusarium oxysporum in greenhouse nurseries. Chitosan (CHIT), shrimp shell powder (SSP) and mushroom wastes (MW) activated the expression of the T. harzianum genes encoding the NAGase and chitinase activities (exc1, exc2, chit42, chit33 and chit37), the highest in vitro activities of T. harzianum being seen with MW. Under greenhouse nursery conditions, the treatments involving amendment with these residues and with T. harzianum increased the NAGase activity (between 5- and 20-times higher than peat) and the chitinase activity (between 3- and 6-times higher than peat) of the growing media and maintained the shoot dry weight of plants infected with F. oxysporum. Moreover, the incorporation of these residues into the growing media enhanced the growth (first leaf length, stem length and shoot dry weight) of muskmelon seedlings. The use of these residues with T. harzianum as amendments of growing media enhanced the growth of muskmelon seedlings and decreased the weight loss due to the pathogen, giving an added-value to these residues and enhancing their management.     

枸骨内生菌No.2的鉴定及其对黄瓜立枯病的生防作用

从枸骨植物中分离到一株对立枯丝核菌Rhizoctonia solani具有抑制作用的内生真菌(编号为No.2),借助Biolog微生物自动分析仪对该真菌进行了分类鉴定,根据菌株的生理生化和形态特征,初步确定该菌株为哈茨木霉菌Trichoderma harzianum Rifai。双重培养试验表明,该哈茨木霉菌对黄瓜立枯病菌存在竞争和寄生作用;盆栽试验测定结果表明,喷施哈茨木霉菌胞外代谢产物木霉素的1 000倍液7 d后,其对黄瓜立枯病的保护和治疗效果分别为88.89%和95.83%。施药后各处理对黄瓜的株形、叶色均未产生药害症状,表明其安全性较好。     

Carnation Fusarium wilt suppression in four composts

Fusarium wilt is now a major disease of carnation crops worldwide. Methyl bromide, which is used to remedy it, is environmentally unsafe. An alternative approach integrated into biological control is to grow crops in suppressive media. Suppressiveness of seven plant growth media to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi was evaluated in bioassays with carnation (Dianthus cariophyllus) cv. Medea. These media were: (1) grape marc compost, (2) cork compost, (3) olive oil husk + cotton gin trash composted and mixed with rice husk, (4) spent mushroom compost mixed with peat, (5) coir fibre, (6) light peat and (7) vermiculite. In order to look for carnation Fusarium wilt suppressiveness indicators, growth medium pH and β-glucosidase activity were evaluated. Furthermore, F. oxysporum populations were measured in plant growth media at the beginning and end of bioassays. The compost media showed a range of suppressiveness in comparison with peat. Grape marc compost was the most effective plant growth medium in suppressing carnation Fusarium wilt. On the other hand coir fibre, peat and vermiculite were conducive for this disease. β-glucosidase activity and pH were positively correlated with disease severity as in other reports for tomato. Therefore, these two parameters are good indicators for carnation Fusarium wilt suppressiveness, and possibly for other F. oxysporum pathosystems. All composts showed similar F. oxysporum populations at the end of the bioassays to peat and vermiculite.

Biological and biochemical responses of Biomphalaria alexandrina to some extracts of the plants Solanum siniacum and Artemisia judaica L.

The molluscicidal activity of cold water, boiled water, methanol, ethanol, acetone and chloroform extracts of Solanum siniacum and Artemisia judaica L. plants against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails was carried out. The tests revealed plant’s ethanol extract was more toxic to the snails than the other tested extracts. Therefore, it was tested against snails’ fecundity (M_x), reproduction rate (R₀) and their infection with Schistosoma mansoni miracidia. In addition, biochemical parameters and the activities of some enzymes in tissues of snails treated with the two tested plants were determined. As well, glucose concentration in snails’ hemolymph was evaluated. Exposure of B. alexandrina snails to plant’s ethanol extract led to a significant reduction in their survival and snails’ fecundity, reproduction rate. In addition, it caused a considerable reduction in the infectivity of S. mansoni miracidia to the snails. Also, it caused a reduction in number of cercariae per snail during the patent period and in the period of cercarial shedding. The results revealed that the glucose concentration in hemolymph and Lactate level in soft tissues of treated snails were increased (P < 0.001) while glycogen, total protein, the lipid content and the pyruvate level in snail’s tissues decreased (P < 0.001). The activities of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), pyruvatekinase (PK) and cytochrome oxidase (CY) enzymes in homogenate of snail’s tissues were reduced (P < 0.001) in response to treatment with the two tested plants while protease (PR) activity increased (P < 0.001). It is concluded that the application of LC₂₅ of ethanol extract of S. siniacum and A. judaica L. may be helpful in snail control as it interferes with the snails’ biology and physiology.

Effect of pesticides on phosphate solubilization by Bacillus sphaericus and Pseudomonas cepacia

Intensive screening of phosphate solubilizing bacteria with genetic potential for increased tolerance to high salt, high pH and high temperature could enhance production of food and forage in semi-arid regions. Emphasizing particularly on this hypothesis 165 phosphate solubilizing bacteria was isolated. Among these, two cultures Bacillus sphaericus and Pseudomonas cepacia were selected on the basis of salt tolerance property and PS activity with different forms of phosphates. In the present investigation both these culture were assessed for the effect of six different pesticides, to confirm its successful realistic application as microbial inoculants in actual farm conditions. Both cultures showed better phosphate solubilizing activity with phosphate containing pesticides. Among these two isolates P. cepacia was a better performer in terms of phosphate solubilizing activity with different pesticides. It may be due to its well documented extra ordinary, versatile metabolic activity. The present study may prove them to be potential candidates to be used as microbial inoculants.

Effect of chitosan on growth and plasma membrane properties of Rhizopus stolonifer (Ehrenb.:Fr.) Vuill

The effect of chitosan (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg ml⁻¹) on mycelium growth, potassium efflux, pH of the incubation medium, and activity of plasma membrane H⁺-ATPase of Rhizopus stolonifer was evaluated. The mycelium growth of R. stolonifer was reduced on media amended with chitosan at 1.0 and 2.0 mg ml⁻¹. The highest antifungal index (65%) was obtained on media containing chitosan at 2.0 mg ml⁻¹. Potassium efflux induced by the addition of the three chitosan concentrations was demonstrated. The highest potassium effluxes were observed with addition of chitosan at 2.0 mg ml⁻¹. R. stolonifer grown 72 h on Potato Dextrose Broth without chitosan generated a decrease in the medium’s pH from 5.4 to 4.8. However, the addition of chitosan at all concentrations caused increases on pH of medium cultures. The highest pH increases were observed on media amended chitosan at 2.0 mg ml⁻¹ resulting in the raising of pH level to 6.9. Additionally, there was an important inhibitory effect of chitosan (1.0 and 2.0 mg ml⁻¹) on H⁺-ATPase activity in the plasma membrane of R. stolonifer (32.70%).     

Properties of acetolactate synthase from sulfonylurea-resistant Scirpus juncoides Roxb. var. ohwianus T. Koyama

Properties of acetolactate synthase (EC 4.1.3.18; ALS) from sulfonylurea-resistant (SUR) Scirpus juncoides Roxb. var. ohwianus T. Koyama were studied biochemically and physiologically in comparison with those from sulfonylurea-susceptible weed (SUS). GR₅₀ values for growth inhibition and I₅₀ values for ALS inhibition by imazosulfuron were determined for both SUR and SUS. Imazosulfuron controlled the SUS above 80% at the dosage more than 10 g a.i./ha but did not control the SUR at the even great dosage of 1000 g a.i./ha. The rates required for 50% growth inhibition of the SUR relative to the SUS (R/S ratio) were 271-fold. The I₅₀ value for inhibition of ALS from the SUS was 15 nM, compared to I₅₀ of >3000 nM for inhibition of ALS from the SUR. These results suggest that a resistance may due to an altered ALS that is insensitive to imazosulfuron. The K_m (pyruvate) value of ALS from the SUR was similar to the K_m for ALS from the SUS, suggesting that a mutation resulting in resistance does not change the affinity of the enzyme for pyruvate. The specific activity of the SUR ALS was similar to that of the SUS ALS, which indicates that resistance is not an over-expression of the enzyme. ALS activity from both biotypes was inhibited by isoleucine, valine, and leucine in this order. However, the SUR ALS was less sensitive to inhibition by valine than the SUS ALS.
