Molecular diversity of native Trichoderma isolates against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Sacc.). A casual agent of Fusarium wilt in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Fusarium wilt in tomato caused by Fusarium oxysporum is the one of the problematic diseases. In this study, 12 native Trichoderma isolates were isolated from different land use types in Rayalaseema region of Andhrapradesh, India and were tested for antagonistic activity against F. oxysporum using dual culture method; the maximum inhibition occurred in WT₂ (78.4%) compared to the control. Molecular characterisation using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique reported 91.8% polymorphism among 12 isolates of Trichoderma. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA amplification with genus-specific ITS1 and ITS4 universal primers produced amplicon size from 569 bp in all the isolates. The study resulted in identification of good competitive Trichoderma isolates against F. oxysporum. A relationship was found between the polymorphism showed by the Trichoderma isolates and their hardness to F. oxysporum during antagonism. Also, exhibition of sufficient genetic polymorphism aids further exploitation in genomic fingerprinting.     

Fungal foliar diseases in Withania somnifera and its effect on secondary metabolites

Withania somnifera is a promising revitalizing medicinal herb. The plant is affected by foliar diseases in Lakkavalli forest region of Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary. The symptomatology of foliar fungal disease incidence, severity and distribution in the study area was examined during 2006–2009. The seedborne nature and transmission of the causal pathogen and its management with seed dressing fungicides were studied. The results of the study indicated that Alternaria alternata caused severe leaf spot disease, while Myrothecium roridum and Fusarium oxysporum caused minor diseases. Based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS1 and ITS2) regions of rDNA, the major pathogen was identified as A. alternata. The disease is homogeneously distributed in Lakkavalli forest region and high severity is recorded during November. Alternaria alternata and Fusarium oxysporum were the dominant seedborne pathogens that are transmitted to seedlings. Among the seed dressing fungicides used, Hyzeb was the most effective, followed by Captra, Antracol and Bavistin, in reducing the incidence of A. alternata and other seedborne fungi. The infected W. somnifera foliages had decreased steroids and alkaloids and increased phenolics and flavonoids. Analysis of alkaloids in diseased foliages by high performance thin layer chromatography indicated the occurrence of transformed compounds at R_f = 0.1, 0.77 (254 nm) and 0.2 (366 nm).     

Enhanced production of cellulase from a novel strain Trichoderma gamsii M501 through response surface methodology and its application in biomass saccharification

Cellulolytic enzymes produced by Trichoderma sp. have attracted interest in converting the biomass to simple sugars in the production of cellulosic ethanol. In this work, a novel cellulolytic strain M501 was isolated and identified as T. gamsii by sequencing the ITS rDNA region. The production of cellulase (CMCase) by T. gamsii M501 was enhanced by employing statistical methods. The strain grown in the optimized production medium composed of mineral salts, microcrystalline cellulose (13.7 g/l), tryptone (4.8 g/l) and trace elements (2 mL/l) at pH 5.5 and 28 °C for 72 h produced a maximum CMCase of 61.3 U/mL. The optimized production medium also showed the other enzyme activity of FPU (2.6 U/mL), β-glucosidase (2.1 U/mL), xylanase (681 U/mL) and β- xylosidase (0.6 U/mL). The crude cellulase cocktail produced by T. gamsii M501 efficiently hydrolyzed alkali pretreated sugarcane bagasse with glucose and xylose yield of 78 % and 74 % respectively at 10 % solid loading. This study is the first of its kind research on biomass saccharification using T. gamsii cellulase cocktail. Therefore, the novel strain T. gamsii M501 would be useful for further development of an enzyme cocktail for cellulosic ethanol production.     

Reproductive compatibility and genetic variation between two strains of Aphelinus albipodus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), a parasitoid of the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines (Homoptera: Aphididae)

Aphelinus albipodus Hayat and Fatima is a potential biological control agent of the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, which is a newly introduced soybean pest in the United States. We compared the reproductive compatibility and molecular genetic variation between two geographic strains of A. albipodus. One strain was collected from soybean aphids in Japan and the other recovered from Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), in the western U.S., populations of which were established with parasitoids imported from Eurasia. We present results of crossing experiments between the two strains, genetic differences based on RAPD-PCR markers, rDNA ITS1 and ITS2 gene sequences, and presence of Wolbachia in the two strains using PCR amplification of the wsp gene. We found no reduction in the production of females in reciprocal crosses between strains, but a significant reduction in fecundity when F₁ females stemming from one of the reciprocal crosses were backcrossed to males from either source. The two strains differed by 3.4% in the rDNA ITS1 sequence and by presence/absence of one RAPD-PCR marker from a total of 20 RAPD primers screened, but their rDNA ITS2 sequences were identical. We used restriction enzyme analysis to separate the strains by differential digestion of the ITS1 PCR product. Wolbachia was present in 100% of males and females of both strains of A. albipodus.     

First Report of Stem Canker on Phoenix Tree (Firmiana simplex) Caused by Fusarium oxysporum in China

A stem canker disease was observed on the phoenix trees located in the region of Dezhou, Shandong province. Symptomatic stems were collected and evaluated for the possible casual agent of the disease. A fungus resembling Fusarium sp. was consistently isolated from pieces of symptomatic tissues. The fungus formed abundant aerial mycelium on potato dextrose agar and produced the micro‐ and macro‐conidia on carnation leaf agar. The nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer of the rDNA from three representative isolates showed 100% identical to those of Fusarium oxysporum isolates deposited in the GenBank database. On the basis of morphological characteristics, pathogenicity test and molecular identification, the causal agent was identified as F. oxysporum. To our knowledge, this is the first report of stem canker on phoenix tree caused by F. oxysporum in China.     

Genetic diversity of Paramecium species on the basis of multiple loci analysis and ITS secondary structure models

Among ciliates, Paramecium has become a privileged model for the study of “species problem” particularly in the case of the “Paramecium aurelia complex” that has been intensely investigated. Despite extensive studies, the taxonomy of Paramecium is still challenging. The major problem is an uneven sampling of Paramecium with relatively few representatives of each species. To investigate species from the less discovered region (Pakistan), 10 isolates of Paramecium species including a standing-alone FT8 strain previously isolated by some of us were subjected to molecular characterization. Fragments of 18S recombinant DNA (rDNA), ITS1-5.8S-ITS2-5′LSU rDNA, cytochrome c oxidase subunit II, and hsp70 genes were used as molecular markers for phylogenetic analysis of particular isolates. The nucleotide sequences of polymerase chain reaction products of all markers were compared with the available sequences of relevant markers of other Paramecium species from GenBank. Phylogenetic trees based on all molecular markers showed that all the nine strains had a very close relationship with Paramecium primaurelia except for the FT8 strain. FT8 consistently showed its unique position in comparison to all other species in the phylogenetic trees. Available sequences of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and ITS2 and some other ciliate sequences from GenBank were used for the construction of secondary models. Two highly conserved helices supported by compensatory base changes among all ciliates of ITS2 secondary structures were found similar to other eukaryotes. Therefore, the most conserved 120 to 180 base pairs regions were identified for their comparative studies. We found that out of the three helices in ITS1 structure, helix B was more conserved in Paramecium species. Despite various substitutions in the primary sequence, it was observed that secondary structures of ITS1 and ITS2 could be helpful in interpreting the phylogenetic relationships both at species as well as at generic level.     

Rhodotorula lamellibrachii sp. nov., a new yeast species from a tubeworm collected at the deep-sea floor in Sagami Bay and its phylogenetic analysis

A new species of the genus Rhodotorula was isolated from a tubeworm (Lamellibrachia sp.) collected at a depth of 1156 m in Sagami Bay, Japan. Strain SY-89 had physiological properties quite similar to R. aurantiaca. Two phylogenetic trees, one based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and 5.8S rDNA sequences and the other based on the D1/D2 region of the large subunit (26S) rDNA sequences, united strain SY-89 to the type strain of Sakaguchia dacryoides through a considerable evolutionary distance. Strain SY-89 was differentiated from S. dacryoides by the G+C content of the nuclear DNA and differences in the ability to utilize specific carbon and nitrogen compounds. The low complementarity of strain SY-89 DNA to that of the type strain of S. dacryoides confirmed that this strain was genetically unrelated to previously known species. The tubeworm isolates are described as R. lamellibrachii sp. nov. The type strain of R. lamellibrachii is strain SY-89 (= JCM 10907). R. lamellibrachii formed a cluster with Erythrobasidium hasegawianum, R. lactosa, S. dacryoides and Sporobolomyces elongatus on the ITS and 5.8S rDNA phylogenetic tree. These five species shared a signature sequence in 26S rDNA, although this relationship was not supported by phylogeny based on the D1/D2 region of 26S rDNA.     

Antagonistic effects of soil bacteria onFusarium oxysporum Schlecht f. sp.dianthi (Prill and Del.) Snyd. and Hans

Summary Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.dianthi, pathogenic on carnation plants is very sensitive toBacillus subtilis M51 inhibition.Fusarium oxysporum disease (fusariosis) is prevented for a period of two months after treatment of plants withBacillus subtilis M51. The persistence ofB. subtilis M51, marked for selenomycin resistance (MZ51) and inoculated on the roots of carnation cuttings was studied. Soil used was two types: naturally infested withFusarium oxysporum and free from this pathogen. Bacterial cells presence on the roots was detected by direct plating and the presence of the pathogen in the roots was investigated by histological assays. Evidence gathered by these procedures suggest that plant protection is dependent on the physical presence ofB. subtilis M51 cells on the roots.
