| characterization of microbial communities and fungal metabolites on field grown strawberries from organic and conventional production. | the background levels of culturable indigenous microbial communities (microbiotas) on strawberries were examined in a field survey with four conventional and four organic growers with different production practise and geographic distribution. the microbiota on apparently healthy strawberries was complex including potential plant pathogens, opportunistic human pathogens, plant disease biocontrol agents and mycotoxin producers. the latter group was dominated by penicillium spp. and aspergillus nig ... | 2012 | 23290240 |
| selective isolation of dematiaceous fungi from the workers of atta laevigata (formicidae: attini). | leaf-cutting ants (formicidae: attini) are considered pests in agriculture for their impact in human crops, as they utilize leaf fragments to raise their fungal mutualist (agaricales: lepiotaceae). basically, the basidiomycetous fungus is cultivated to supply food to adult workers and broads; in return, the ants protect it against natural enemies. however, recent studies have claimed that other microorganisms are associated to ant nests where a wide range of interactions may take place. to inves ... | 2011 | 22160859 |
| sensitivity of the alternaria infectoria species-group 1 to cycloheximide. | a possibility of using cycloheximide tolerance and/or sensitivity as an additional diagnostic tool for distinguishing morphologically related species within common small-spored alternaria has been tested during this study. | 2008 | 18444978 |
