... An outbreak of fescue toxicosis occurred in cattle in the southern part of Mississippi in 1969–70. A survey of veterinarians and county agents revealed that fescue toxicosis occurred in 15 Mississippi counties, with general distribution across the state. Field investigations were conducted to gain additional information on the role of fungi in the etiology of fescue toxicosis and to determine if a ...
... Seedlings of Pinus resinosa Ait. grown in test tubes were inoculated with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus Fr. and, one day later, with a spore suspension of the root pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht emend, Sny. & Hans f.sp. pini. Controls consisted of seedlings inoculated with plugs of sterile modified Melin Norkrans medium and F. oxysporum. Seedling survival was counted ...

Abstract:
... Interactions between Sporormiella similis Khan & Cain and the blue-stain fungus Ophiostoma piliferum (Fr.) H. & P. Sydow, both isolated from Populus tremuloides Michx. wood, were investigated. Sporormiella similis significantly reduced the growth of O. piliferum in vitro when grown in dual culture, in addition to inhibiting the growth of O. piliferum on agar media and in liquid culture when treate ...

Abstract:
... Cyprodinil, a fungicide with a new mode of action, was recently introduced by Ciba-Geigy for foliar application on cereals, grapes, vegetable crops, and deciduous fruits. In greenhouse studies, the protective and curative activity of cyprodinil was determined against Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici on wheat, Drechslera teres on barley, and Venturia inaequalis on apples. Cyprodinil significantly r ...
... Antifungal secondary metabolites produced by six strains of rice-associated Pseudomonas spp. were determined. Five different media pigment production medium (PPM), 1/5M523, potato-dextrose agar (PDA), yeast malt (YM), and King's medium B (KMB), were used to determine the best medium for plate assays of these strains against Rhizoctonia solani AG1, the rice sheath blight pathogen. Large inhibition ...
... An aqueous formulation of concentrated extracts (Milsana flussig) from leaves of the giant knotweed, Reynoutria sachalinensis, applied weekly at a concentration of 2%, provided control of powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca fuliginea) on long English cucumber that was as effective as benomyl. In two separate experiments this treatment significantly reduced the severity of powdery mildew compared to contr ...
... Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and eukaryote algae occur in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial (soil) habitats. In fact, these microorganisms comprise most of the world's biomass. Although the cyanobacteria are mostly photoautotrophic, some are facultative heterotrophs, capable of growing on certain substrates in darkness. Also, some are non-phototrophic and hence, are obligate heterotrophs. A ...
... Soluble organic metabolites produced by phase one of Xenorhabdus bovienii strain A2 were tested for their antimycotic activity against selected plant pathogenic fungi and for their phytotoxicity. The metabolites were extracted with ethyl acetate from the supernatant of 96-h-old X. bovienii cultures in tryptic soy broth. They were fungicidal to Phytophthora infestans at 0.1 mg/mL on rye agar but on ...
... Seed meal from Brassica napus (rapeseed) produced volatile fungitoxic compounds potentially of value in the control of Aphanomyces root rot of pea. Hyphal growth, germination of encysted zoospores, and oospore survival and inoculum potential, were determined in the presence of volatiles produced from B. napus seed meal. Volatile compounds from B. napus meal completely suppressed mycelial growth an ...
... A rapid assay to determine antifungal activity in plant extracts and essential oils is described. Wells in microtiter plates were loaded with Botrytis cinerea spores and plant extracts or essential oils. Subsequent changes in optical density following spore germination in the wells was measured after 24 h using an automatic microtiter plate reader driven by a software program developed for this pu ...
