Typhula incarnata 의 생육온도는 $-5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$의 범위이었으며 $10{\sim}15^{\circ}C$에서 생육이 가장 좋았다. 6 균 핵은 고온에서 형성량이 많았으며 pH 5.4-6.2 에서 균사의 생장이 가장 좋았다. 기본배지에서 탄소원을 첨가했을 때 이눌린, 가용성 전분, 갈락토스, 포도당, 만노스, 만닛톨, 자당, 맥아당, 셀로비로스, 트레할로스, 라휘노스 및 덱스트린 등이 다른 탄소원보다 균의 생육이 더 좋았다. 23종의 질소원 중에서는 글리신, 셀린, 황산암모니움, 아스파라진, 아스파라틴산(酸) 및 ${\beta}-alanine$ 등이 T. incarnata 의 균사생장에 가장 좋았다. 시스틴과 시스테인은 질소원으로서 적합하지 않았고 암모니아태(態) 질소가 질산태(態) 질소보다 균의 생육이 더 좋았다. 감자배지, 오트밀배지 및 V-8 배지 등은 균의 생육과 균핵형성에 가장 좋았다. 톤을 첨가한 감자 배지에서는 T. incarnata 의 건물중이 감소하였으며, 자당(蔗糖)을 첨가하면 생육이 좋았다. T. incarnata 의 균핵은 흙속에서 생존력이 저하 되었으며 부발아(不發芽)된 균핵으로부터 Trichoderma viride와 세균이 검출되었다. 토양속의 오리새 생엽초는 T. incarnata에 의한 착생(着生)이 살균 또는 무살균(無殺菌)의 고엽초보다 $0^{\circ}C$에서 좋았다. 살균고엽초에서의 T. incarnata 의 부생능력은 $10^{\circ}C$보다는 $0^{\circ}C$에서 좋았다. 살균 또는 무살균의 기질에 착생된 부생균은 Cladosporium sp., Fusarium sp., Mucor sp., Pythium sp., 및 수종의 미동정균(未同定菌)이 경쟁균으로서 검출되었으나 $0^{\circ}C$에서의 생엽초에서는 착생(着生)되지 않았다. Bentgrass의 설부갈색소립균핵병에 대해서 살균제의 효과를 조사한 결과, 폴리옥신과 티람의 혼합제가 가장 좋았고, 이프로디온, 이프로디온과 옥신 구리의 혼합제, 지오파내이트-메틸, 마이클로브탄일 및 톨클로포스-메틸의 순으로 좋았다.

Plant leaf surface is an important niche for diverse epiphytic microbes, including bacteria and fungi. Plant leaf surface plays a critical frontline defense against pathogen infections. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a starch-based super-absorbent polymer(SAP) combination, which enhances water potential and nutrient availability to plant leaves. We evaluated the effect of SAP on the maintenance of bacterial populations. In order to monitor bacterial populations in situ, a SAP mixture containing Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci that expressed recombinant green fluorescent protein(GFPuv) was spray-challenged onto whole leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana. The SAP combination treatment enhanced bacterial robustness, as indicated by disease severity and incidence. Unexpectedly, bacterial numbers were not significantly different between leaves treated with the SAP combination and those treated with water alone. Furthermore, young leaves treated with the SAP combination had more severe symptoms and a greater number of bacterial spots caused by primary and secondary infections compared to young leaves treated with the water control. In contrast, bacterial cell numbers did not statistically differ between the two groups, which indicated that measurement of viable GFP-based bacterial spots may provide a more sensitive methodology for assessing virulence of bacterial pathogens than methods that require dilution plating following maceration of bacterial-inoculated leaf tissue. Our study suggests that the SAP combination successfully increased bacterial aggressiveness, which could either be used to promote the ability of biological agents to control weedy plants or increase the robustness of saprophytic epiphytes against competition from potentially harmful microbes.

The genus Paxillus is characterized by the difficulty of species identification, which results in reproducibility problems, as well as the need for large quantities of fungal inoculum. In particular, studies of Paxillus ammoniavirescens have reported divergent results in the in vitro growth while little is known of its capacity to degrade organic matter. For all the above, and assuming that this variability could be due to an inappropriate culture media, the aim of this study was to analyse growth in different culture media (MMN, MS, and 1/2 MS) and in the case of MMN in presence/absence of two types of organic matter (fresh litter and senescence litter) to probe the saprophytic ability of P. ammoniavirescens. We also evaluated the effects of pH changes in the culture media. Growth kinetics was assessed by weekly quantification of the area of growth in solid culture media over 5 wk, calculating the growth curves and inflection points of each culture media. In addition, final biomass after 5 wk in the different culture media was calculated. Results showed that best culture media are MS and 1/2 MS. Moreover, an improvement in growth in culture media containing decomposing fall litter was observed, leading to confirm differences in the culture media of this species with others of the same genus. Further, we established that all growth media suffered a significant acidification after fungal growth.

Alternaria is a ubiquitous fungal genus, widely distributed in the environment and a range of different habitats. It includes both plant pathogenic and saprophytic species, which can affect crops in the field or cause post-harvest spoilage of plant fruits and kernels. Numerous Alternaria species cause damage to agricultural products including cereal grains, fruits and vegetables, and are responsible for severe economic losses worldwide. Most Alternaria species have the ability to produce a variety of secondary metabolites, which may play important roles in plant pathology as well as food quality and safety. Alternariol (AOH), alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), tenuazonic acid (TeA), tentoxin (TEN) and altenuene (ALT) are considered the main Alternaria compounds thought to pose a risk to human health. However, food-borne Alternaria species are able to produce many additional metabolites, whose toxicity has been tested incompletely or not tested at all. Both alternariols are mutagenic and their presence in cereal grain has been associated with high levels of human esophageal cancer in China. TeA exerts cytotoxic and phytotoxic properties, and is acutely toxic in different animal species, causing hemorrhages in several organs. The possible involvement of TA in the etiology of onyalai, a human hematological disorder occurring in Africa, has been suggested. Altertoxins (ALXs) have been found to be more potent mutagens and acutely toxic to mice than AOH and AME. Other metabolites, such as TEN, are reported to be phytotoxins, and their toxicity on animals has not been demonstrated up to now. Vegetable foods infected by Alternaria rot are obviously not suitable for consumption. Thus, whole fresh fruits are not believed to contribute significantly with Alternaria toxins to human exposure. However, processed vegetable products may introduce considerable amounts of these toxins to the human diet if decayed or moldy fruit is not removed before processing. The taxonomy of the genus is not well defined yet, which makes it difficult to establish an accurate relationship between the contaminant species and their associated mycotoxins. Great efforts have been made to organize taxa into subgeneric taxonomic levels, especially for the small-spored, food associated species, which are closely related and constitute the most relevant food pathogens from this genus. Several crops of agricultural value are susceptible to infection by different Alternaria species and can contribute to the entry of Alternaria mycotoxins in the food chain. The distribution of Alternaria species was studied in different commodities grown in Argentina. These food populations were characterized through a polyphasic approach, with special interest in their secondary metabolite profiles, to understand their full chemical potential. Alternaria species associated with tomato, bell pepper, blueberry, apples and wheat cultivated in Argentina showed a surprisingly high metabolomic and mycotoxigenic potential. The natural occurrence of Alternaria toxins in these foods was also investigated. The results here presented will provide background for discussion on regulations for Alternaria toxins in foods.
