Suppression of the biocontrol agent trichoderma harzianum by mycelium of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus glomus intraradices in root-free soil

Trichoderma harzianum is an effective biocontrol agent against several fungal soilborne plant pathogens. However, possible adverse effects of this fungus on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi might be a drawback in its use in plant protection. The objective of the present work was to examine the interaction between Glomus intraradices and T. harzianum in soil. The use of a compartmented growth system with root-free soil compartments enabled us to study fungal interactions without the interfering effects of roots. Growth of the fungi was monitored by measuring hyphal length and population densities, while specific fatty acid signatures were used as indicators of living fungal biomass. Hyphal 33P transport and beta-glucuronidase (GUS) activity were used to monitor activity of G. intraradices and a GUS-transformed strain of T. harzianum, respectively. As growth and metabolism of T. harzianum are requirements for antagonism, the impact of wheat bran, added as an organic nutrient source for T. harzianum, was investigated. The presence of T. harzianum in root-free soil reduced root colonization by G. intraradices. The external hyphal length density of G. intraradices was reduced by the presence of T. harzianum in combination with wheat bran, but the living hyphal biomass, measured as the content of a membrane fatty acid, was not reduced. Hyphal 33P transport by G. intraradices also was not affected by T. harzianum. This suggests that T. harzianum exploited the dead mycelium but not the living biomass of G. intraradices. The presence of external mycelium of G. intraradices suppressed T. harzianum population development and GUS activity. Stimulation of the hyphal biomass of G. intraradices by organic amendment suggests that nutrient competition is a likely means of interaction. In conclusion, it seemed that growth of and phosphorus uptake by the external mycelium of G. intraradices were not affected by the antagonistic fungus T. harzianum; in contrast, T. harzianum was adversely affected by G. intraradices.     

Antifungal activity of a novel endochitinase gene (chit36) from Trichoderma harzianum Rifai TM

A novel 36-kDa endochitinase named chit36 has been isolated and characterized from Trichoderma harzianum Rifai TM. Partial amino acid sequences from the purified protein were used to clone the fungal cDNA, based on polymerase chain reaction with degenerate primers. The complete open reading frame encodes a 344-amino acid protein which shows 84% similarity to a putative chitinase from Streptomyces coelicolor. Chit36 was overexpressed under the pki1 constitutive promoter from Trichoderma reesei via biolistic transformation of T. harzianum TM. Stable transformants showed expression and endochitinase activity of chit36 in glucose-rich medium. Culture filtrates containing secreted CHIT36 as the sole chitinolytic enzyme completely inhibited the germination of Botrytis cinerea conidia. Growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis and Sclerotium rolfsii were significantly inhibited on agar plates on which the Trichoderma transformants had previously been grown.     

Removal of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluence and 2,4-dinitrotoluene by fungi (Ceratocystis coerulescens, Lentinus lepideus and Trichoderma harxianum)

At an initial concentration of 50 mg/l in liquid culture, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was totally transformed by the three following fungi: Ceratocystis coerulescens, Lentinus lepideus and Trichoderma harzianum. 2,4-Dinitrotoluene (DNT) was also degraded by C. coerulescens and T. harzianum but not by L. lepideus. Composition of the culture medium in terms of carbon and nitrogen affected the transformation of TNT and DNT into amino-intermediates. These metabolites accounted for less than one quarter of the initial concentration of aromatics. In some instances, these transient intermediates disappeared at the end of the incubation period. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998     

Effect of substrates on growth and shelf life of Trichoderma harzianum and its use in biocontrol of diseases

A study on the effect of different agrowastes on the population density and shelf life of Trichoderma harzianum indicated that all the substrates showed effective propagation of T. harzianum; however, the population count after 30 days was maximum in used tea leaves (8 x 10(8) cfu/g) and shelf life was found to be maximum (2.9 x 10(5) cfu/g after 210 days) in wheat bran-sawdust. The application of these formulations on chickpea and groundnut plants significantly reduced the percent mortality due to chickpea wilt complex and groundnut collar rot disease, respectively.     

Transformation of a mycoparasitic Trichoderma harzianum strain with the argB gene of Aspergillus nidulans

A transformation system was developed for the mycoparasitic filamentous fungus Trichoderma harzianum, based upon complementation of auxotrophic mutants. Prototrophic transformants were obtained using plasmids pSal23 and pAN5-41B, carrying the Aspergillus nidulans argB gene, and both the Aspergillus nidulans argB and Escherichia coli lacZ genes, respectively.     

Processed Manure as Carrier to Introduce Trichoderma harzianum: Population Dynamics and Biocontrol Effect on Rhizoctonia solani

Manure pellets produced from processed swine faeces can be used as carrier material for the biocontrol fungus Trichoderma harzianum. The antagonist can grow and sporulate on the processed manure powder as the sole source of carbon and nutrients. The incorporation of conidia in pellets of the processed manure was shown to be feasible on a laboratory scale. Survival of the fungus in the pellets during storage was satisfactory. The population dynamics of T. harzianum were studied using a benomyl-resistance marker after introduction of conidia into soil. The antagonist could colonize and spread through a number of non-sterile soils and was able to establish a stable population over a period exceeding 125 days. Under sterile conditions, the propagation of T. harzianum in soil was much greater than under non-sterile conditions. The incorporation of antagonist conidia in pellets was found to be essential for the successful colonization of non-sterile soil. In growth chamber experiments, application of T. harzianum via processed manure pellets reduced damping-off of sugar beet seedlings caused by Rhizoctonia solani in artificially and naturally infested soil. In artificially infested soil, T. harzianum reduced the population of R. solani and protected beet seedlings from damping-off 3 weeks after introduction. The application of T. harzianum to naturally infested soil increased the number of healthy beet seedlings more than two-fold.     

Morphological, Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of Trichoderma harzianum Isolates for their Efficacy as Biocontrol Agents

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) procedure was used to examine the genetic variability among 8 isolates of Trichoderma harzianum , and their ability to antagonize Sclerotium rolfsii using a dual culture assay was correlated with RAPD profiles. Eight oligodeoxynucleotide primers were selected for the RAPD assays, which resulted in 86 bands for 8 isolates of T . harzianum . The data were entered into a binary matrix and a similarity matrix was constructed using the DICE similarity (SD) index. An unweighted pair grouping mathematical averaging (UPGMA) cluster based on SD values was generated using the NTSYS computer program. A mean coefficient of similarity obtained for pairwise comparisons was c. 30% and it showed that the variability among the isolates of T. harzianum was very high. Using the dual culture method in antagonism experiments, the T. harzianum isolates were classified in to antagonism classes. Further, T. harzianum isolates were screened for chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase activity. RAPD was efficient in demonstrating the high intraspecific genetic variation among isolates. The dendrogram did not show the grouping of isolates by their level of antagonism. Relationship among polymorphism existent, the aggressiveness and the origin of isolates were not found.
