Abstract
The antagonistic activity and its features were assessed for 20 strains and isolates of entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Akanthomyces and closely related species against eight species of phytopathogenic fungi and four variants of bacteria in vitro. Isolates of the species Akanthomyces muscarius Vl 21, Vl 29, Vl 61, Vl 72, and F 14 were selected. They showed antagonism against 5–6 species of dangerous phytopathogenic fungi (in particular, causative agents of various rots and leaf spots). Their volatile organic compounds also had a pronounced fungistatic effect, and the inhibition rate reached up to 67%. These isolates are promising for use in protecting plants from a complex of fungal diseases and pests.
期刊介绍:
Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles on biochemistry and microbiology that have or may have practical applications. The studies include: enzymes and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, biosynthesis of low and high molecular physiologically active compounds; the studies of their structure and properties; biogenesis and pathways of their regulation; metabolism of producers of biologically active compounds, biocatalysis in organic synthesis, applied genetics of microorganisms, applied enzymology; protein and metabolic engineering, biochemical bases of phytoimmunity, applied aspects of biochemical and immunochemical analysis; biodegradation of xenobiotics; biosensors; biomedical research (without clinical studies). Along with experimental works, the journal publishes descriptions of novel research techniques and reviews on selected topics.
