Keissler is one of the most destructive diseases of potato worldwide. The present study was conducted to identify the causal agent, and to test the efficacy of several fungicides with different modes of actions against A. alternata. Five different chemical fungicides including; Copper oxychloride (Sufer Copper Oxychloride® 50% WP), Carbendazim (Carbendazim Aria® 60% WP), Penconazole (Penconazole®  20% WE) , Mancozeb (Qadri Mancozeb®  80% WP) and Flutriafol 6.94% + Tebuconazole 20.8% (Topgaurd® 30% SC) were tested at four different concentrations of; 20, 100, 300 and 500 mg l, using the poisoned food technique. Among the tested fungicides, the highest in vitro inhibition (%) of mycelial growth of the pathogen was recorded on using Flutriafol 6.94% + Tebuconazole 20.8% causing complete inhibition (100 %) at 100, 300 and 500 mg l, followed by Penconazole causing 100 % inhibition at 300 and 500 mg l; moreover, it caused strong inhibition of 90.17 % at 100 mg l. Both fungicides proved to be the most effective expressing strong inhibition potency of 93.75 % even at the lowest concentration of 20 mg l after 5 days of fungal incubation, although the inhibitory efficacy decreased slightly over time after 10 days of incubation. Mancozeb was the third effective fungicide causing strong mycelial inhibition of (41.91, 75.24 and 84.21 %) at 100, 300 and 500 mg l, respectively. The least mycelial growth inhibition was observed with Copper oxychloride (8.77 %) followed by Carbendazim (21.05 %) at maximum concentration of 500 mg l.

About seven fungal spp. were isolated from the soil garden of the Middle Eastern Regional Radioisotope Center for Arab Countries (MERRCAC); however, a single isolate of Aspergillus japonicus with high potential of metals biosorption was selected for further research during this work. Soil analysis revealed that lead concentration was 5.25 mg/ l. The aims of the present study were to gamma irradiate A. japonicus with low doses of 50 to 250Gy, in order to enhance its heavy metal tolerance ability, and to increase its efficacy for removal of lead (Pb) from the soil. Results indicated that combined treatments of A. japonicus with lead and gamma irradiation doses displayed more enhancements of its biosorption capacity and gain in dry biomass than single treatment. Treatment with Pb (1950 mg/ l) in combination with gamma irradiation (100 Gy) proved to be optimum for increasing the biosorption capacity of this isolate. However, Pb at 650 mg/ l combined with gamma irradiation at 100 Gy was the optimum for gain in dry biomass. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic (FTIR) analysis showed that the fungal biomass includes in its surface hydroxyl, carboxyl and amine groups. On the other hand, Transmission electron microscope (TEM) examination of the irradiated A. japonicus cells demonstrated accumulation of electron dense Pb on the cell wall and within the fungal cells, this indicate that Pb 2+ accumulation by fungi occurs by two methods absorption inside the cell and adsorption on the cell wall.

Moreover, inoculation of wheat plant with pair of AM fungi composed mainly of; SN (G. monosporum and Gigaspora gigantean) and AA (G, monosporum and Glomus mosseae) were investigated. Current findings indicate that inoculation with AMF belonging to different families was more effective in improving plant growth than AMF from the same genus and with mono-inoculation. Results showed that plant height inoculated with SN and AA increased by 27.30% and 24.95; respectively, while inoculation with Gigaspora gigantean (GG), G. mosseae (GS) and G. monosporum (GM) increased by 16.01%, 14.6% and 6.83%, respectively. Number of spikes/plant, spike length, number of spikelet/spike, 1000-grain weight and grain yield/plant of wheat plants inoculated with AMF increased significantly, compared with the non-inoculated control plants under water stress. In addition, current results demonstrated that inoculation with SN had relatively higher impact on promoting the growth of wheat plants followed by AA and GG, suggesting that inoculation with AMF consisting of different species may have a better effect than single inoculations.

The disease was declared as pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11th of March, 2020. The clinical and genetic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 support a similar pathogenesis pattern with Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV). The infection is mainly transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets generated during the course of coughing, sneezing and talking. Extensive measures to reduce the person to person transmission of COVID-19 have been implemented to control the current outbreak. Special attention and efforts reduce the transmission should be applied on the susceptible population including the children, health care providers and elderly people. Several control and preventive measures including; following hand hygiene, using face mask, avoiding person to person contact etc. are recommended to prevent the spread of this virus. To diagnose the viral infection, several methods have been established and recommended including the Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), serological diagnosis, imaging technology etc. Up to the 31th August, 2020, there is no specific therapeutics or vaccines to control this viral infection.

The major aim of this study was to isolate indigenous Trichoderma that can be used as a potential biocontrol agent (BCA). Currently, we isolated 14 native fungal isolates from vermicompost, agricultural soils and infected substrates, and identified them as Trichoderma spp. based on their morphological characteristics. Isolates designated V1D, V1F, V3D, V3F, W1, W2, KAL, NAR, BIOC, AG, RD and NIM resembled to T. viride, while MUSH and RF resembled T. harzianum.  The ability of these isolates to assimilate different forms of sugars, nitrogen source (N) and phosphates (PO4) were evaluated qualitatively. Isolates showed differing solubilization zones (cm) in agar plates containing cellulose (1.8-9.5 cm), amylose (0.1-2.1 cm), tri-calcium phosphate (0.1-0.17 cm) and di-calcium phosphate (0.33-0.53 cm), to substantiate their biofertilizer potentialities. Confrontation assay with dual culture technique against seven phytopathogens (i.e. Rhizoctonia solani, Aspergillus niger, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, S. rolfsii, Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum and Botryodiplodia theobromae) revealed promising mycoparasitic activity. Three isolates (MUSH, BIOC and V3F) showed mycelial growth inhibition in the range of 33-77%, compared to the control plate (without isolates). With respect to isolate MUSH, a significantly higher (P< 0.05) dry biomass weight (g) was obtained at pH 7 (0.66 ± 0.05) and pH 6 (0.55 ± 0.05), than at pH 3, pH 4 and pH 5. Similarly, higher biomass significance (P< 0.001) was obtained in yeast mannitol broth (2.58 ± 0.11 g), compared to potato dextrose broth (PDB) and nutrient broth (NB). The production of spores by isolate MUSH was tested on four locally available solid substrates (i.e. corn stalk, rice husk, jackfruit molasses and sugarcane bagasse) through solid state fermentation (SSF). Production of conidia (cfu/g) was higher in corn stalk (72.6 ×108), followed by rice husk (68.4×108), jackfruit molasses (18.6×108) and sugarcane bagasse (12.4×108). High counts of conidia production on these substrates render MUSH isolate efficient to be used as a BCA by the farmers, to enhance their crop productivity.","PeriodicalId":34593,"journal":{"name":"Novel Research in Microbiology Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43130189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
