identification and characterization of ethanol utilizing fungal flora of oil refinery contaminated soil. | the indigenous fungal flora of three oil refinery contaminated sites (bharuch, valsad and vadodara) of india has been documented in the present investigation. a total seventy-five fungal morphotypes were isolated from these sites and out of them, only fifteen isolates were capable of utilizing ethanol (0-8%; v:v) as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth. ten percent ethanol was completely lethal for the growth of all the isolated fungus. biochemical characterization of the potent ethanol ... | 2014 | 24068535 |
o-acyl sugars protect a wild tobacco from both native fungal pathogens and a specialist herbivore. | o-acyl sugars (o-as) are abundant trichome-specific metabolites that function as indirect defenses against herbivores of the wild tobacco nicotiana attenuata; whether they also function as generalized direct defenses against herbivores and pathogens remains unknown. we characterized natural variation in o-as among 26 accessions and examined their influence on two native fungal pathogens, fusarium brachygibbosum u4 and alternaria sp. u10, and the specialist herbivore, manduca sexta. at least 15 d ... | 2017 | 28275149 |
