Abstract A model was developed to estimate the mean number of infections of seminal roots of wheat exposed to two sources of inoculum of the take-all fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici , in an experimental system. The sources comprise discrete propagules of initial, soil inoculum and infected roots of volunteer plants that had been infected by the initial inoculum, prior to the growth of crop plants. The model was based on the probability of escape from infection by individual roots ofthe crop plants. Parameter estimation was by maximum likelihood. A model was first fitted to data for infection of roots from the soil inoculum. This yielded estimates for the efficiency of soil inoculum to cause infection in the absence of volunteer plants. The parameter for efficiency of infection by soil inoculum was resolved into components for inoculum density, survival of inoculum and the probability of success of individual propagules. The model was extended to include simultaneous exposure of crop roots to soil inoculum and to root inoculum on the volunteer plants. The presence of volunteer seedlings prior to sowing of crop plants resulted in an increase in the effectiveness of inoculum to cause disease. Sowing date and soil condition, as affected by addition of sand, were shown to have significant effects on the efficiency of both sources of inoculum. 相似文献

Two Staphylococcus aureus strains were grown in brain-heart infusion (BHI) broth and a meat medium with Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Both S. aureus strains grew well and produced enterotoxin in the presence of S. faecalis in BHI broth; however, enterotoxin production was observable in the meat medium only when the S. aureus inoculum was greater than the S. faecalis inoculum. S. aureus FRI-100 grown with B. cereus produced enterotoxin in both media only when the S. aureus inoculum was much higher than the B. cereus inoculum (10 versus 10(4) CFU), whereas S. aureus FRI-196E produced enterotoxin in both media at all inoculum combinations except in the meat medium, when the inocula of the two organisms were the same. S. aureus grown with E. coli in BHI broth produced enterotoxin at all inoculum combinations except when the E. coli inoculum was greater than the S. aureus inoculum; however, in the meat medium, enterotoxin was produced only when the S. aureus inoculum was much greater than the E. coli inoculum (10 versus 10(4) CFU), S. aureus FRI-100 grown with P. aeruginosa in either medium produced enterotoxin only when the S. aureus inoculum was much greater than the P. aeruginosa inoculum (10 versus 10(3) or 10(4) CFU). It can be concluded from these results that enterotoxin production is unlikely in mixed cultures unless the staphylococci outnumber the other contaminating organisms. 相似文献

A sucrose-agar globule (SAG) was newly introduced to increase production of the vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungal spores, Gigaspora gigantea and Glomus fasciculatum. An SAG inoculum and a sucrose-agar globule with root exudates (SAGE) inoculum were prepared, and their spore productions were compared with a soil inoculum. When the SAGE was used as the inoculum on sucrose-agar medium plates the number of spores was increased (35% more than the soil inoculum). After the soil inoculum and SAGE were inoculated on an experimental plant, Zingiber officinale, the percentage root colonization, number of VAM spores, and dry matter content were analyzed. It was observed that the SAGE showed a higher percentage of root colonization (about 10% more), and increases in the number of spores (about 26%) and dry matter (more than 13%) for the two VAM fungal spores than the soil inoculum. The results of this study suggested that the SAGE inoculum may be useful for the mass production of VAM fungi and also for the large scale production of VAM fungal fertilizer. 相似文献

Fungal inoculum properties and its effect on growth and enzyme activity of Trametes versicolor in soil 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Schmidt KR Chand S Gostomski PA Boyd-Wilson KS Ford C Walter M 《Biotechnology progress》2005,21(2):377-385
The effect of fungal inoculum properties on colonization of nonsterile soil by three isolates of the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor was investigated. Fungal inoculum properties were examined in separate experiments and were fungal inoculum composition, age of fungal inoculum, concentration of the inoculum and inoculation method. The fungal inoculum composition study compared pine versus poplar sawdust as the basic carrier with varying amounts of corn grit, corn meal and starch. The age of the fungal inoculum studied ranged from 3 to 21 days. The inoculum concentration gradually increased from 0 to 50% (v/v). The study assessing inoculation method compared mixing with layering techniques. The effect of moisture conditions of soil, sawdust and sand in combination with two inoculation methods (mixing versus point source inoculation) on colonization by T. versicolor was also determined. Colonization of soil was always assessed visually and enzymatically monitoring mycelial growth, biological potential (fluorescein diacetate assay) and laccase levels. Generally, the three different assessment methods correlated (P < 0.05) with each other. A fungal inoculum based on pine sawdust supported white-rot fungal growth in soil better than a poplar sawdust basis. Colonization of soil by T. versicolor was improved by increasing the corn content of the fungal inoculum. Younger (<7 days old) fungal inoculum resulted in better soil colonization than older (>10 days). A strong correlation (P < 0.001) was observed between the amount of fungal inoculum used in the soil augmentation and white-rot fungal colonization of soil. Inoculation of the fungal inoculum into soil by mixing was preferable over application in layers or point source inoculation. Moisture level did not influence biological potential measurements, but affected mycelial growth and laccase expression. 相似文献

Influence of inoculum activity on the bio-methanization of a kitchen waste under different waste/inoculum ratios 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The use of a granular inoculum prevented acidification during the anaerobic batch biodegradation of a kitchen waste for waste/inoculum ratios in the range of 0.5–2.3 g VS/g VS, when the alkalinity/COD ratio was 37 mg NaHCO3/g COD. In similar experiments but using a suspended sludge with a significantly lower activity, the methane production rates and the biodegradability were significantly lower and the pH decreased below 5.5 at the waste/inoculum ratio of 2.3 g VS/g VS. When the added alkalinity was decreased to 2 mg NaHCO3/g COD, the ratio waste/inoculum was clearly more important than the inoculum activity, since, irrespective of the sludge used, acidification occurred at waste/inoculum ratios higher than 0.5 g VS/g VS. The advantage of using granular sludge was further investigated in order to define reasonable condition of waste/inoculum ratio and added alkalinity that could be applied in practice. For a waste/inoculum ratio of 1.35, there were no significant differences between the results obtained for the biodegradability and maximum methane production rate (MMPR), when the alkalinity decreased from 44 to 22 mg NaHCO3/g COD. 相似文献

Survival and inoculum potential of conidia and chlamydospores of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini in soil 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The kinetics of survival and inoculum potential of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini were studied in soil. Two types of inoculum were compared: microconidia freshly harvested from a laboratory-grown culture and microchlamydospores produced in sterilized soil. Introduced at the same inoculum densities into a natural soil, the two types of inoculum showed similar behavior; the inoculum densities changed little with time, at least during 100 days. However, the two types of inoculum did differ in disease potential. A higher percentage of microchlamydospores than microconidia germinated in the rhizosphere of flax seedlings, and the heterotrophic fluorescein diacetate hydrolysing activity of the microchlamydospores was 100 times higher than that of microconidia. Moreover, the microchlamydospores produced more disease on flax than the microconidia even at a much lower inoculum density. 相似文献

Four methods were compared for inoculating red clover with selected mycorrhizal fungi when sown in a field containing an indigenous mycorrhizal population. The largest amount of mycorrhizal infection (around 65% of root length infected) was obtained by placing inoculum with the seeds in furrows. The inoculum used was standard soil inoculum from stock plant cultures spread by hand or the same inoculum concentrated to about one seventh by wet-sieving, and then fluid-drilled. The effectiveness of multiseeded pellets (seeds stuck onto pellets of soil inoculum) applied broadcast was more variable, infection ranging widely around an average of 30%. Applying both soil inoculum and seeds broadcast produced just under 10% infection, similar to that in the controls given autoclaved inoculum. Seedling establishment, in contrast, was-better where seeds were applied broadcast than in furrows. It seemed therefore that multiseeded pellets might be the best compromise for achieving reasonable infection in most plants, but fluid drilling had the advantages of greatly reducing the amount of inoculum needed and of readily combining seeds and inoculum in a single carrier. 相似文献

Winter wheat was grown for six successive years (Expt 1) and for three successive years (Expt 2) in field experiments on different soil types. Artificial inoculum of the take-all fungus (Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici cultured on autoclaved oat grains) was incorporated in the soil of some of the plots just before, or at, sowing of the first winter wheat crop. Expt 1 tested the incorporation of similar amounts of inoculum (212 kg ha-1) at different depths. Expt 2 tested different amounts of inoculum at the same, shallow depth. Early sowing (September), late sowing (October) and spring inoculation were additional treatments, applied to the first crop only, in Expt 2. Seasonal factors apart, the disease outcome in the first year after inoculation depended on amounts and placement of applied inoculum, as well as date of sowing. Deeper inoculum resulted in less disease (Expt 1). Severe take-all was produced in Expt 2 by incorporating inoculum shallowly in sufficient quantities (400 kg ha-1 or more). Less inoculum (200 kg ha-1) generated less disease, especially in earlier-sown plots. Differences in disease amongst inoculum treatments were greatest in the first year and diminished subsequently, particularly where sowing had been early in the first year. In Expt 1, where first crops exposed to artificial inoculum developed moderate-to-severe disease, disease in subsequent second and/or third crops was less. In the fourth crop a second peak of disease occurred, coinciding with a first peak in sequences without added inoculum. Take-all decline (TAD) appeared to be expressed in all sequences thereafter. In Expt 2 in sequences without added inoculum, TAD occurred after a peak of disease in the second crop. Where 400 kg ha-1 or more of inoculum were added, disease was severe in the first year and decreased progressively in successive years. Disease was less patchy in plots that received artificial inoculum. However, it remains uncertain mat severe disease caused by artificial inoculation achieved an early onset of true TAD. The infectivity of the top 12 cm of soil in the first 3 yr of Expt 1, determined by bioassay, depended on the depth of added inoculum and amount of disease in subsequent crops. However, at the time of the naturally occurring peak of disease severity (in either inoculated or non-inoculated plots) it did not predict either disease or TAD. Differences and similarities amongst epidemics developing naturally and those developing from different amounts and placement of applied inoculum have been revealed. The epidemiological implications of adding inoculum and the potential value of artificially-created epidemics of take-all in field trials are discussed. 相似文献

Summary The production of actinorhodin by Streptomyces coelicolor in a defined medium was examined using spore and vegetative inocula. The spore inoculum yielded higher concentrations of biomass and actinorhodin as well as a higher maximum specific growth rate compared with the vegetative inoculum. Nevertheless, the productivity of the batch culture for actinorhodin formation with vegetative inoculum was higher than that with spore inoculum. 相似文献

The effect of cationic polymer additives on biomass granulation and COD removal efficiency had been examined in lab-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors, treating low strength synthetic wastewater (COD 300-630 mg/l). Under identical conditions, two reactors were operated with and without polymer additives in inoculum under four different organic loading rates (OLRs). The optimum polymer dose was adopted based upon the results of jar test and settling test carried out with inoculum seed sludge. With the use of thick inoculum, SS greater than 110 g/l and VSS/SS ratio less than 0.3, granulation was observed in UASB reactor treating synthetic wastewater as well as actual sewage, when OLR was greater than 1.0 kg COD/m(3) d. Polymer additive with such thick inoculum was observed to deteriorate percentage granules and COD removal efficiency compared to inoculum without polymer additives. At OLR less than 1.0 kg COD/m(3) d, proper granulation could not be achieved in both the reactors inoculated with and without polymer additive. Also, under this low loading, drastic reduction in COD removal efficiency was observed with polymer additives in inoculum. Hence, it is rational to conclude that biomass granulation for treatment of low strength biodegradable wastewater depends on the applied loading rate and selection of thick inoculum sludge. 相似文献

Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) is a key grass of tallgrass prairies and is commonly included in restoration projects. In many cases, it has been found to benefit significantly from arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, however results have varied under non-sterile soil conditions. This study investigated the effects of two types of AM fungi inoculum (commercial and prairie) on growth and root colonization of big bluestem from five different seed sources grown in non-sterile soils. Seed sources were collected from five remnant prairies in the Tallgrass Prairie Peninsula located in the Midwestern United States. Growth of big bluestem and root length colonized by AM fungi was highly variable among seed source treatments. Overall, percentage of root length colonized by AM fungi was positively correlated with the total dry weight of plants, and plants that received inoculum generally grew better than those that did not receive inoculum. Inoculum treatment affected both big bluestem growth and percentage root length colonized and there was an interaction between seed source and inoculum treatment relative to colonization. Root colonization responses were not significantly different between the prairie and commercial inoculum types, although there was a significant response between plants that received additional inoculum as opposed to no additional inoculum. Seed sources from Ohio and Illinois had the highest biomasses and greatest percentage of root length colonized while plants from Wisconsin and Missouri grew poorly and had low root colonization. These results demonstrate the importance of considering both seed source and inoculum type before the incorporation of AM inoculum to prairie restoration projects. 相似文献

Meloidogyne incognita (Mi) reproduction and host plant responses in chile pepper (Capsicum annuum) and yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus = YNS) to three sources of inoculum obtained by rearing a single Mi population on chile, YNS, and tomato were evaluated in two factorial greenhouse experiments. The interactive effects of Mi inoculum source and crop-weed competition were determined. In the absence of YNS competition, chile growth was reduced less by Mi inoculum from chile than by inoculum from YNS or tomato. When YNS was present, chile root weight was not affected and shoot weight increased with Mi initial inoculation, regardless of inoculum source. Chile plants inoculated with Mi from tomato exhibited double the nematode reproduction observed with inoculum from chile or YNS. With chile present, Mi reproduction on YNS was nearly three times greater with inoculum from tomato, but reproduction was similar among inoculum sources when chile was absent. Reductions in YNS root mass due to competition from chile failed to reduce the total number of Mi eggs produced on YNS plants. Differences in total Mi reproduction among inoculum sources were not attributable to differences in root growth or plant competition. This study illustrates the influence of Mi-YNS interactions and previous hosts on severity of Mi infection. 相似文献

Seasonal changes in primary and secondary inoculum during epidemics of leaf blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis) on winter barley 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Seasonal changes in numbers of conidia of Rhynchosporium secalis on debris from previous barley crops infected with leaf blotch (primary inoculum) were monitored in 1985–86 and 1986–87. In 1986–87, changes in numbers of conidia on leaves of plants in the new winter barley crop (secondary inoculum) were also recorded. The greatest increases in production of primary inoculum were in early spring after rain, when temperatures were increasing after periods of sub-zero temperatures when there was little conidial production. Subsequently, more conidia were recovered from this debris after cycles of drying and rewetting than when it remained wet. After January 1987, amounts of secondary inoculum produced on the crop were much greater than amounts of primary inoculum on debris. Most spores were produced on the basal leaves and more spores were present on the September-sown than on the November-sown crop. Thus, while primary inoculum was a source of disease when plants were emerging, secondary inoculum on basal leaves was the main source of disease at stem extension, especially on early-sown crops. 相似文献

The effect of the inoculum mycelium quality on carminomycin biosynthesis by Actinomadura carminata was studied. The time of the organism growth on the culture medium containing cornsteep liquor continued for 6 hours without losing by the inoculum of its seeding qualities during that period. The mycelium growth in the inoculum was more intensive under conditions of moderate aeration, i.e. 0.98-2.64 mg O2H1-min. Anincrease in the aeration rate up to 18.56 mg O2/1-min resulted in the growth suppression up to 40 per cent. No correlation between the aeration rate during the inoculum growth and the culture capacity for carminomycin biosynthesis and of the content of the complex in active components the fermentation medium were observed, when a 5-10 per cent of inoculum was used. 相似文献

The significant reduction in the plant growth was observed at an initial inoculum level of 2 immature females of Rotylenchulus reniformis/g soil and hence this inoculum level was considered as the minimum damaging threshold level for broccoli. The population of reniform nematode increased with the increasing levels of inoculum. Though, the maximum nematode population was recorded at the highest level of inoculum, the rate of reproduction of nematode was found to be highest at the lowest level of initial inoculum. Symptoms like chlorosis, stunted growth, shedding of leaves, early sprouting of inflorescence and sparsely developed roots were found during the experimental studies. Rotylenchulus reniformis required 30 days to complete the life cycle on broccoli. 相似文献

The intensity of motility of Bacillus thuringiensis was used to determine the optimal culture time of the inoculum being used for thuringiensin production. Thuringiensin production with an inoculum taken at its maximum motility was about 3 times higher than that with an inoculum taken in the late exponential phase. 相似文献

The presence of different carbon and nitrogen sources and bivalent metal compounds in the substrate medium influenced the mycelial growth of Macrophomina phaseolina and in vitro susceptibility to fungicides. The inoculum from such substrate media showed differences in pathogenicity on mung bean (Vigna radiata). Sucrose and asparagine significantly increased the mycelial growth as well as pathogenicity of the fungus. Absence of bivalent metal ions, viz., Fe++, Zn++ and Mg++ in the medium produced inoculum which caused maximum seedling mortality and foliage blight. Carbendazim and thiophanate-M as seed treatments were significantly less effective when the inoculum was from a medium containing glucose than when the inoculum was from a medium containing sucrose. Captafol and thiram gave significantly better disease control on mung bean when the inoculum used for soil inoculations was from media containing asparagine and ammonium nitrate compared to the inoculum grown on a medium containing sodium nitrate. Carbendazim, thiophanate-M, PMA, captafol and thiram gave good disease control when the inoculum used was raised on a medium devoid of bivalent metal ions. Carbendazim and thiophanate-M were the best fungicides as foliar treatments and controlled the disease irrespective of carbon, nitrogen and bivalent metal ion status of the substrate medium used for the production of inoculum. 相似文献

Airborne inoculum of Botrytis cinerea was monitored bimonthly during 3 years (September 2007–December 2010) on a site in the South-East of France located approximately 5 km away from susceptible crops. Viable inoculum was collected for 96 % of the sampling days, including during cold winter periods and hot and dry summer conditions. The concentration of airborne inoculum was significantly higher during daytime than at night. Peaks of concentration were recorded at different periods each year (September–October in 2008, May in 2010). The abundance of viable inoculum was positively correlated with average daily relative humidity and negatively correlated with air temperature and solar radiation. The analysis of backward trajectories suggested that air masses originating from the North or the South brought more viable inoculum than those from the West. This study showed that susceptible crops may be at danger from viable inoculum of B. cinerea during all seasons of the year, but that risk prediction models could be developed on the basis of climatic conditions and the origin of air masses. 相似文献
