[Method] Six strains or species of Penicilliurn and Trichoderma were inocu- lated into PDA plates growing with P. ostreatus to observe the growth of their mycelia. And the inhibitory effects of hydrogen peroxide, bromogeramine bromide, 84 disinfectant, lysol, potassium permanganate, and 75% medical alcohol on Trichoderma pleuroticola, Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, Penicillium citrinum, Penicillium thomii and Penicillium brevicompactum were detected. [Result] Confrontation test revealed that Penicillium spp. and Trichoderma spp. competed for nutrients with P. ostreatus mycelia, antagonized against the growth of P. ostreatus mycelia, invaded and twined around P. ostreatus mycelia, and also produced toxins poisoning P. ostreatus mycelia. The six disinfectants exhibited different inhibitory effects against different species of Penicillium and Trichoderma. Among them the in- hibitory effects of bromogeramine bromide against the six species of Penicillium and Trichoderma were significantly different. However, the inhibitory effects of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 84 disinfectant, 5% lysol, potassium permanganate and 75% medical alcohol were significantly different among Penicillium spp., but did not among Tri- choderma spp. [Conclusion] Bromogeramine bromide can be used to control the bacteria and fungi in mushroom production for it has significant inhibitory effects on the six species of both Penicillium and Trichoderma.展开更多

Iongibrachiatum 758 were studied. Carben- dazim, tebuconazole and difenoconazole showed strong toxicities, thiram and car- bexin showed moderate toxicities, and metalaxyl showed Mycelia growth of the two strains was more sensitive to most tested fungicides than those of chlamydospore germination. Chlamydospore germination of 610 was more sensitive to tested fungicides than those of 758, and mycelia growth of 758 was more sensitive to most tested fungi- cides than those of 610. Among the seven fungicides, 98% carbendazim had the strongest effects （ECru values were 1.64 and 0.05μpg/ml）, and 70% pentachloroni- trobenzene had the weakest effects （EC50 values were 1.64 and 0,05 μg/ml） for chlamydospore germination and mycelia growth of 610. As for 758, 98% carbendaz- im had the strongest inhibitory effects and 95% metalaxyl had the weakest inhibitory for chlamydospore germination of 756 （EC50 values were 0.62 and 1 108.61 μg/ml respectively）, whereas 96.2% tebuconazole showed the strongest inhibitory effects for mycelia growth of 758 （EC= value was 0.32μg/ml）, and 95% metalaxyl was the weakest （EC= value was 1 206.29 μg/ml）. According to the applied concentration of different fungicides in practice, we concluded that chlamydospore preparations of 610 and 758 could not be combined with carbendazim, tebuconazole, thiram and carboxin for controlling plant diseases, and the pesticide residues to the biocontrol effects should be kept in mind. Chlamydospore preparations of 610 and 758 can be and difenoconazole for controlling plant dis- eases, 758 chlamydospore preparations and germinated chlamydospore of 610 can be combined with metalaxyl for controlling plant diseases, and pesticide residue risk was not serious.展开更多

[Method] With sporulation yield as the response value, single-factor test, Plackett-Burmam design, steepest ascent test, BoxBehnken design and response surface analysis were employed to optimize the con- ditions for sporulation of Trichoderma reesei by solid fermentation. [Result] Based on single-factor test, the most appropriate carbon source for Trichoderma reesei was straw stalk powder and wheat bran with the ratio of 3：2 and optimal amount of 15 g/L; the most appropriate inorganic nitrogen was （NH4）2O4 with the optimal amount of 3 g/L. According to Plackett-Burmam design, moisture content, initial pH and incubation temperature were identified as significant factors affecting the sporulation yield of Trichoderma reeseL The maximum sporulation yield area was approached by steepest ascent test. Based on Box-Behnken design and response surface analysis, the optimal fermentation conditions for the maximum sporulation yield were determined as： straw stalk powder of 6 g/L, wheat bran of 9 g/L, （NH4）2SO4 of 3 g/L, moisture content of 65%, incubation temperature of 29 ℃, fermentation period of 72 h and initial pH of 5.5, under these conditions, the sporulation yield reached 2×10^10 spores/g, which was improved by 1.4 times compared with that before optimization. [Conclusion] In this study, the conditions for sporulation of Trichoderma reesei by solid fermentation were optimized with low-cost straw stalk powder and wheat bran as carbon sources, which was conducive to reducing the production cost of Trichoderma reesei and increasing the sporulation yield, showing certain social and economic significance.展开更多

Many species of Trichoderma have multiple strategies for fungal antagonism and indirect effects on plant health, such as growth promotion, systemic resistance induction and fertility improvements. Some strains are powerful antibiotic producers, and their suitability for use in biocontrol systems must be carefully assessed. However, many other active strains have no antibiotic capacity, and these are likely to be more useful in food production systems since they have not adverse effects on important groups of beneficial soil organisms. We have assessed the performance of selected naturally occurring Trichoderma strains (singly and in combination) and developed TUSAL, a mixture of Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride that has demonstrated to be effective against major pathogens in sugar beet and horticulture. TUSAL, has been bulked up and tested under field conditions, showing positive effects on precocity and root development, and increasing the crop production in field trials carried out in different pathosystems. The environmental impact of TUSAL strains on beneficial organisms in the environment were assessed before release, and molecular detection methods were developed to monitor the presence and performance of strains in the field. In addition, Trichoderma protein extracts with high glucanase and chitinase activities, have also been obtained from wild type strains and their effectiveness as biofungicides was tested in laboratory and field conditions, defining the concentration of protein necessary to produce fungicide effects. The genes coding for protein production were introduced into suitable organisms for large-scale production in the laboratory, never released to the environment. The effect of these novel biofungicide proteins was studied separately and synergistically with Trichoderma conidia, and with minimal doses of chemical fungicides. Suitable active Trichoderma strains are being registered in the EU by the company NBT. Both Trichoderma strains and proteins are included in formulations patented as biocontrol agents.展开更多

文摘For exploring the influences of application and residue of chemical fungi- cides on chlamydospore preparations of Trichoderma spp., the effects of seven chemical fungicides on chlamydospore germination and mycelia growth of two bio- control fungi T. harzianum 610 and T. Iongibrachiatum 758 were studied. Carben- dazim, tebuconazole and difenoconazole showed strong toxicities, thiram and car- bexin showed moderate toxicities, and metalaxyl showed Mycelia growth of the two strains was more sensitive to most tested fungicides than those of chlamydospore germination. Chlamydospore germination of 610 was more sensitive to tested fungicides than those of 758, and mycelia growth of 758 was more sensitive to most tested fungi- cides than those of 610. Among the seven fungicides, 98% carbendazim had the strongest effects （ECru values were 1.64 and 0.05μpg/ml）, and 70% pentachloroni- trobenzene had the weakest effects （EC50 values were 1.64 and 0,05 μg/ml） for chlamydospore germination and mycelia growth of 610. As for 758, 98% carbendaz- im had the strongest inhibitory effects and 95% metalaxyl had the weakest inhibitory for chlamydospore germination of 756 （EC50 values were 0.62 and 1 108.61 μg/ml respectively）, whereas 96.2% tebuconazole showed the strongest inhibitory effects for mycelia growth of 758 （EC= value was 0.32μg/ml）, and 95% metalaxyl was the weakest （EC= value was 1 206.29 μg/ml）. According to the applied concentration of different fungicides in practice, we concluded that chlamydospore preparations of 610 and 758 could not be combined with carbendazim, tebuconazole, thiram and carboxin for controlling plant diseases, and the pesticide residues to the biocontrol effects should be kept in mind. Chlamydospore preparations of 610 and 758 can be and difenoconazole for controlling plant dis- eases, 758 chlamydospore preparations and germinated chlamydospore of 610 can be combined with metalaxyl for controlling plant diseases, and pesticide residue risk was not serious.

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the sporulation conditions of Tri- choderma reesei by solid fermentation. [Method] With sporulation yield as the response value, single-factor test, Plackett-Burmam design, steepest ascent test, BoxBehnken design and response surface analysis were employed to optimize the con- ditions for sporulation of Trichoderma reesei by solid fermentation. [Result] Based on single-factor test, the most appropriate carbon source for Trichoderma reesei was straw stalk powder and wheat bran with the ratio of 3：2 and optimal amount of 15 g/L; the most appropriate inorganic nitrogen was （NH4）2O4 with the optimal amount of 3 g/L. According to Plackett-Burmam design, moisture content, initial pH and incubation temperature were identified as significant factors affecting the sporulation yield of Trichoderma reeseL The maximum sporulation yield area was approached by steepest ascent test. Based on Box-Behnken design and response surface analysis, the optimal fermentation conditions for the maximum sporulation yield were determined as： straw stalk powder of 6 g/L, wheat bran of 9 g/L, （NH4）2SO4 of 3 g/L, moisture content of 65%, incubation temperature of 29 ℃, fermentation period of 72 h and initial pH of 5.5, under these conditions, the sporulation yield reached 2×10^10 spores/g, which was improved by 1.4 times compared with that before optimization. [Conclusion] In this study, the conditions for sporulation of Trichoderma reesei by solid fermentation were optimized with low-cost straw stalk powder and wheat bran as carbon sources, which was conducive to reducing the production cost of Trichoderma reesei and increasing the sporulation yield, showing certain social and economic significance.
文摘[Objective] The study was to construct a exogenous expression vector for Trichoderma reesei.[Method] Using CBHI promoter and terminator of T.reesei strain 40359,we constructed an expression vector of T.reesei strain 40359 for expressing Hpt gene and got six strains capable of growing on basic medium containing 175 mg/L of hygromycin B,further conducted hygromycin resistance test.[Results] In comparison with the original strain（wild type）,hygromycin resistance the six engineered strains was increased by 75%;the hygromycin resistance could inherit stably.[Conclusion] Our results laid basis for biological study on T.reesei at molecular and genetically engineering levels.
文摘The choice of active Trichoderma strains is important in designing effective and safe biocontrol applications. Many species of Trichoderma have multiple strategies for fungal antagonism and indirect effects on plant health, such as growth promotion, systemic resistance induction and fertility improvements. Some strains are powerful antibiotic producers, and their suitability for use in biocontrol systems must be carefully assessed. However, many other active strains have no antibiotic capacity, and these are likely to be more useful in food production systems since they have not adverse effects on important groups of beneficial soil organisms. We have assessed the performance of selected naturally occurring Trichoderma strains (singly and in combination) and developed TUSAL, a mixture of Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride that has demonstrated to be effective against major pathogens in sugar beet and horticulture. TUSAL, has been bulked up and tested under field conditions, showing positive effects on precocity and root development, and increasing the crop production in field trials carried out in different pathosystems. The environmental impact of TUSAL strains on beneficial organisms in the environment were assessed before release, and molecular detection methods were developed to monitor the presence and performance of strains in the field. In addition, Trichoderma protein extracts with high glucanase and chitinase activities, have also been obtained from wild type strains and their effectiveness as biofungicides was tested in laboratory and field conditions, defining the concentration of protein necessary to produce fungicide effects. The genes coding for protein production were introduced into suitable organisms for large-scale production in the laboratory, never released to the environment. The effect of these novel biofungicide proteins was studied separately and synergistically with Trichoderma conidia, and with minimal doses of chemical fungicides. Suitable active Trichoderma strains are being registered in the EU by the company NBT. Both Trichoderma strains and proteins are included in formulations patented as biocontrol agents.
