Abstract:

Fungal spores can cause a range of health problems in humans such as respiratory diseases and mycotoxicoses. Since children are the most vulnerable, the presence of fungal spores in the facilities of preschool and school institutions should be investigated readily. In order to estimate air contamination by fungal spores, air sampling was conducted in eight facilities of the preschool institution in Novi Sad during February and March, 2007. Sedimentation plate method was used for the detection of viable fungal spores, mostly being members of subdv. Deuteromycota (Fungi imperfecti). In 32 samples a total of 148 colonies were developed, among which five genera were identified: Penicillium, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Alternaria and Acremonium while non-sporulating fungal colonies were labeled as sterile mycelia. Most frequently recorded genera were Penicillium with 46 colonies and Cladosporium with 44 colonies. The genera Aspergillus and Alternaria were represented with 3 colonies each and Acremonium with only 1 colony. The greatest number of colonies emerged in the samples from the day care facilities ?Vendi? (58 colonies) and ?Panda? (49 colonies). Most diverse samples were obtained from the day care center ?Zvoncica?, with presence of all identified genera. These results showed notable presence of fungal spores in the indoor air of Preschool institution facilities and indicated the need for further, more complete seasonal research. Obtained information is considered useful for the evaluation of potential mycofactors that endanger health of children.

Abstract:

Aeromycoflora in relation to occurrence and prevalence, their seasonal variation and distribution of fungal spores in air was studied from October, 2010 to September, 2011. During the study a total of 31 fungal species belonging to 18 genera of fungi were isolated and identified. Total fungal colony count was 2308. The highest occurrence and prevalence of fungi was contributed by Aspergillus niger 1075 colonies, Penicillium spp. 582 colonies, Aspergillus fumigatus 167, A. flavus 112 colonies, Rhizopus sp. 121 colonies, Candida spp. 39 colonies, Chladosporium spp. 36 colonies, Syncephalestrum sp. 25 colonies, and Fusarium spp. 14 colonies. Lowest colony countwas recorded one, in Aspergillus ustus, Drechslera sp., Nigrospora sp. and Ulocladium sp. Maximum fungal pollutants were found 339 in July, 2010 at temperature 27.12°C and moisture 84.2% during the wet and rainy days and declined in January, 2011 when temperature and moisture label decreased to 20.26°C and 59.5%, respectively. Highest colony density was recorded in July, 2011, it was moderate in February and March, 2011. Lowest colony density was recorded in January and May, 2011 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbas.v38i1.20211 Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 38, No. 1, 49-59, 2014

Abstract:

The use of microorganisms in decontaminating the environment encumbered with heavy metal pollutants through biosorption is considered as a good option for bioremediation. This study was conducted to isolate Cadmium (Cd) tolerant fungi from coastal waters and sediments, compare their biosorption capabilities, and identify the isolates with the highest Cd uptake. Water and sediment samples were collected near the effluent sites of industrial belt in Ibo, Lapu-lapu City, Cebu, Philippines. Potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates containing Cd (25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm) were used to isolate Cd tolerant fungi from the samples. The distinct colonies that grew on the highest Cd concentration (100 ppm) were then isolated into pure cultures. The pure cultures of Cd tolerant fungi served as a source of inocula for in vitro biosorption assay using Cd dissolved in potato dextrose broth (PDB) as the substrate. Cd tolerant fungal isolates with the highest Cd uptake were finally identified up to the lowest possible taxon based on their colonial and microscopic characteristics. Most filamentous fungal colonies have grown most at the lower Cd concentrations and least at the higher concentrations. From the characteristics of the fungal growth on the plate with the highest Cd concentration, eight distinct colonies from both sediment and water samples were isolated into pure cultures. Among the eight fungal isolates, only three had significant Cd biosorption efficiency, these were fungal isolate 3 (13.87 %), fungal isolate 6 (11.46 %), and fungal isolate 4 (10.71 %). Two of them (fungal isolates 3 and 4) belong to genus Aspergillus while the other (fungal isolate 6) is a species of Penicillium. The results of this study showed that Cd tolerant fungi with biosorption capacity could be isolated from coastal water and sediments in the vicinity of areas suspected of heavy metal contamination.

Abstract:

The article deals with decontamination during the processing of manure into organic fertilizer by an electric field of direct current. As a result of decontamination of the litter in this way, there is a significant destruction of fungal colonies. Microscopic analysis of the quantitative composition of fungal colonies was performed. The analysis showed that the fungal colonies of Mucor and Bacillus are reduced by 43 and 20 percent, respectively. It was revealed that the method of electric disinfection and processing of manure into organic fertilizer is low-cost, effective and environmentally safe.

Abstract:

AbstractDuring three austral summer seasons, dust and soil from clothes, boots and equipment of members of scientific expeditions and tourists visiting the Polish Antarctic Station Henryk Arctowski were collected and analysed for the presence of fungal propagules. Of a total of 60 samples, 554 colonies of fungi belonging to 19 genera were identified. Colonies of the genus Cladosporium, Penicillium and non−sporulating fungus (Mycelia sterilia) dominated in the examined samples. The microbiological assessment of air for the presence of fungi was also conducted at two points in the station building and two others outside the station. A total of 175 fungal colonies belonging to six genera were isolated. Colonies of the genus Penicillium were the commonest in the air samples. The potential epidemiological consequences for indigenous species as a result of unintentional transport of fungal propagules to the Antarctic biome are discussed in the light of rapid climate change in some parts of the Antarctic and adaptation of fungi to extreme conditions.

Abstract:

The distribution of silicon in the leaf epidermis of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) grown in hydroponic nutrient solutions supplemented with soluble silicates was examined using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. Silicon was found primarily in cells surrounding the bases of the trichome hairs. During infection by Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Schlecht.:Fr.) Poll., areas of host cell wall adjacent to the germinating hyphae showed altered surface morphology and high concentrations of silicon. Measurements of total hyphal length per colony showed the fungal colonies grown on silicate-treated plants were significantly smaller than fungal colonies grown on control plants. In the early stages of infection, the presence of high silicon surrounding colonies was correlated with lower fungal growth. Key words: silicon, x-ray analysis, hydroponics, Cucumis sativus, Sphaerotheca fuliginea.

Abstract:

Social insects defend their own colonies and some species also protect their mutualist partners. In mutualisms with aphids, ants typically feed on honeydew produced by aphids and, in turn guard and shelter aphid colonies from insect natural enemies. Here we report that Formica podzolica ants tending milkweed aphids, Aphis asclepiadis , protect aphid colonies from lethal fungal infections caused by an obligate aphid pathogen, Pandora neoaphidis . In field experiments, bodies of fungal-killed aphids were quickly removed from ant-tended aphid colonies. Ant workers were also able to detect infective conidia on the cuticle of living aphids and responded by either removing or grooming these aphids. Our results extend the long-standing view of ants as mutualists and protectors of aphids by demonstrating focused sanitizing and quarantining behaviour that may lead to reduced disease transmission in aphid colonies.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Typically, studies on indoor fungal growth in buildings focus on structures with known or suspected water damage, moisture, and/or indoor fungal growth problems. Reference information on types of culturable fungi and total fungal levels are generally not available for buildings without these problems. This study assessed 50 detached single-family homes in metropolitan Atlanta, Ga., to establish a baseline of “normal and typical” types and concentrations of airborne and dustborne fungi in urban homes which were predetermined not to have noteworthy moisture problems or indoor fungal growth. Each home was visually examined, and samples of indoor and outdoor air and of indoor settled dust were taken in winter and summer. The results showed that rankings by prevalence and abundance of the types of airborne and dustborne fungi did not differ from winter to summer, nor did these rankings differ when air samples taken indoors were compared with those taken outdoors. Water indicator fungi were essentially absent from both air and dust samples. The air and dust data sets were also examined specifically for the proportions of colonies from ecological groupings such as leaf surface fungi and soil fungi. In the analysis of dust for culturable fungal colonies, leaf surface fungi constituted a considerable portion (>20%) of the total colonies in at least 85% of the samples. Thus, replicate dust samples with less than 20% of colonies from leaf surface fungi are unlikely to be from buildings free of moisture or mold growth problems.

Fungus-growing attine ants forage diverse substrates to grow mutualistic fungi for food. In addition to the fungal partner, colonies of these insects harbor a rich microbiome composed of bacteria, filamentous fungi and yeasts. Previous studies investigated ecological aspects of filamentous fungi in gardens of leaf-cutter ants and reported some Trichoderma species; however, no studies systematically addressed the putative association of Trichoderma species with attine ants, especially in non-leafcutter ants. Here, a total of 68 strains of Trichoderma preserved in our collection were analyzed using three molecular markers (ITS, tef1 and rpb2). In addition, 30 out of 68 strains were also morphologically examined. The strains correspond to samples collected from leaf-cutter and non-leafcutter ants in 12 points from four states in Brazil and two points in Texas (USA), comprising the largest sampling carried out so far for Trichoderma in attine ant environment. Our results revealed the richness of Trichoderma in this environment, since we found 19 Trichoderma species, including three new species described in the present work (T. attinis, T. texana and T. longifialidicum). Moreover, we show that all 68 strains grouped within different clades across the Trichoderma phylogeny, which are identical or closely related to strains derived from several other environments, supporting for a transient nature of the genus Trichoderma in attine ant colonies. The discovery of three new species suggests that the dynamic foraging behavior of these insects might be responsible for accumulation of transient fungi into their colonies, which might hold several fungal taxa still unknown for science

A sele??o de clones de Corymbia menos dependentes da aduba??o fosfatada e mais responsivos as ectomicorrizas poder? tornar o cultivo desta planta menos dependente deste insumo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de inoculantes de isolados de Pisolithus sp. na produ??o de mudas de clones de Corymbia pela miniestaquia, em condi??es de viveiro. Os clones de Corymbia AEC0007, AEC0022, AEC0043 e AEC0045 inoculados com os isolados de Pisolithus sp. C9C, C16 com a mistura dos dois isolados (MIX = C9C+C16), foram crescidos em substrato com redu??o da aduba??o fosfatada. Como controle, os mesmos clones, n?o inoculados, foram crescidos em substrato com (Controle) e sem (Comercial) redu??o da aduba??o fosfatada. A sobreviv?ncia das mudas nos clones AEC0007 e AEC0043 n?o foi influenciada pela inocula??o. Para os demais clones, as mudas inoculadas com C16 foram at? 75 % maiores que as mudas do Comercial. A inocula??o com MIX aumentou a altura das mudas do AEC0007, AEC0043 e AEC0045, todos em rela??o ?s mudas do Comercial e do Controle. O C16 aumentou o di?metro das mudas do AEC0007 e AEC0045 em at? 25 % em rela??o ?s do Comercial, e para os demais clones, a inocula??o n?o teve influ?ncia. As maiores porcentagens de coloniza??o foram observadas nas mudas do AEC0007, AEC0022 e AEC0043 inoculadas com C9C e com MIX. A inocula??o, em geral, aumentou a frequ?ncia de torr?es firmes e parcialmente enraizados e firmes e bem enraizados, exceto para o AEC0045. Os teores de P, N, K, Ca e Mg estavam abaixo do considerado ideal e os teores de Zn e Fe estavam acima da faixa adequada. Apenas os teores de Mn permaneceram dentro da faixa considerada adequada. As porcentagens de pontas colonizadas se correlacionaram positivamente com par?metros de crescimento e nutri??o nos clones AEC0007, AEC0022 e AEC0043, mas a quantidade de par?metros e a intensidade da correla??o foram dependentes do clone. A inocula??o com Pisolithus sp. aumenta a coloniza??o ectomicorr?zica e o crescimento de mudas Corymbia em viveiro comercial, mas isto ? dependente do clone e do isolado. Os inoculantes mais promissores foram MIX> C9C>C16, pois promoveram maiores crescimento, sobreviv?ncia, massa seca, coloniza??o e qualidade de torr?es das mudas de Corymbia. O clone AEC0043 foi o mais responsivo ? inocula??o por fungos ectomicorr?zicos, obtendo maiores benef?cios.

The selection of Corymbia clones less dependent on phosphate fertilization and more responsive to ectomycorrhizae may make the cultivation of this plant less dependent on this input. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of inoculants of Pisolithus sp. in the production of mini-cuttings of Corymbia clones, under nursery conditions. The Corymbia clones AEC0007, AEC0022, AEC0043 and AEC0045 inoculated with the isolates of Pisolithus sp. C9C, C16 with the mixture of the two isolates (MIX = C9C + C16) were grown on substrate with reduction of phosphate fertilization. As a control, the same uninoculated clones were grown on substrate with (Control) and without (Commercial) reduction of phosphate fertilization. The survival of the mini cuttings in clones AEC0007 and AEC0043 was not influenced by inoculation. The survival of the AEC0022 mini-cuttings inoculated with C16 was 75% greater than those from the commercial, but this effect was dependent on the isolate and the clone. The inoculation with the MIX increased the height of the mini-cuttings of AEC0007, AEC0043 and AEC0045, all in relation to the Commercial and Control mini-cuttings. The C16 increased the diameter of the AEC0007 and AEC0045 mini-cuttings by up to 25% compared to the Commercial ones and for the other clones inoculation it had no influence. The highest percentages of colonization were observed in the AEC0007, AEC0022 and AEC0043 mini-cuttings inoculated with C9C and MIX. The inoculation, in general, increased the frequencies of firm and partially rooted and firm and well rooted clods, except for AEC0045. The concentration of P, N, K, Ca and Mg were below the ideal level and the Zn and Fe concentration were above the appropriate range. Only Mn concentration remained within the range considered adequate. The percentages of colonized tips correlated positively with growth and nutrition parameters in clones AEC0007, AEC0022 and AEC0043, but the number of parameters and the intensity of the correlation was dependent on the clone. The inoculation with Pisolithus sp. increases ectomycorrhizal colonization and growth of Corymbia mini-cuttings in commercial nursery, but this is dependent on the clone and isolate. The most promising inoculants were MIX> C9C> C16, as they promoted greater growth, survival, dry mass, colonization and quality of clods of Corymbia mini-cuttings. Clone AEC0043 was the most responsive to inoculation of ectomycorrhizal fungi, obtaining greater benefits.

Abstract:

Translocation of nitrogen (N) through mycelial cords of wood decay fungi is thought to be the mechanism responsible for the observed increase in absolute N content in woody debris over time. This research evaluates the ability of the mycelial cords of the wood ¹⁵decay fungus Hypholoma fasciculare to translocate and accumulate labeled organic (¹⁵N-glycine, N Douglas-fir litter) and inorganic N (¹⁵NH₄⁺, ¹⁵NO₃⁻) in its wood substrate. Each N form was supplied separately to the growing fronts of mycelial cords established over 67 days from wood blocks (Douglas-fir) in soil microcosms. Three sampling occasions (days 6, 18 and 30 after N addition) were used to identify trends in ¹⁵N transfer and total N accumulation. Wood blocks inoculated with Hypholoma fasciculare assimilated significantly more ¹⁵N than uninoculated blocks for all ¹⁵N treatments on at least one sampling occasion. After 73 days of incubation (day 6 sampling occasion), inoculated wood blocks increased in absolute N content by 211% relative to uninoculated control blocks, but 80% of this accumulated N was lost after 97 days of incubation (day 30 sampling occasion). The small amount of ¹⁵N that was transferred contrasted with the large increase in total N, suggesting that the site of N transfer was largely from the soil underneath wood blocks rather than at the site of ¹⁵N injection. The precipitous decline in absolute N content was attributed to visible indications of mycelial senescence. This research demonstrates that the mycelial cords of Hypoloma fasciculare are capable of translocating ¹⁵N into a wood substrate and can also greatly increase the absolute N content of wood blocks. The results are discussed in the context of fungal ecology as well as woody debris management.

(Coffea arabica) micorrizadas utilizando in?culos contendo esporos de Glomus calrum, Glomus etunicatum e Scutellospora heterogma. O per?odo de muda durou 160 dias e posteriormente, conduzidas em dois experimentos, foram plantadas em vasos pl?sticos e crescidas por 150 dias em casa de vegeta??o. Para avaliar o efeito de P o experimento foi conduzido no delineamento em blocos casualizados, com quatro repeti??es, em esquema fatorial 4 x 4 sendo, as doses de 0,00; 0,74; 1,48 e 2,96 g kg-1 de P2O5 por planta e os tr?s FMA mais o controle n?o inoculado. E para avaliar o efeito da umidade do solo o delineamento experimental utilizado foi o mesmo do P e o fatorial tamb?m foi 4 x 4 sendo, a umidade do solo 40, 60, 80 e 100% da capacidade de campo e os mesmos tratamentos f?ngicos. Os resultados para incremento na altura, ?rea foliar, massa seca das ra?zes, massa seca do caule e porcentagem de coloniza??o mostraram efeito significativo da intera??o entre os fatores FMA x doses de f?sforo. E para intera??o dos fatores FMA x umidade do solo, os resultados mostraram efeito significativo somente para incremento na ?rea foliar, massa seca das ra?zes e rela??o parte a?rea/ra?zes. A coloniza??o dos fungos Glomus clarum, Glomus etunicatum e Scutellospora heterogma tiveram resultados distintos, com comportamentos semelhantes, para as doses de P diminuindo linearmente e para a umidade tipo quadr?tico. A inocula??o de FMA, a adi??o de P e o aumento da umidade do solo aumentam o crescimento do cafeeiro.

ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are able to stimulate the growth of plants, especially the effect on mineral nutrition and hydration, which allows for greater absorption of water and nutrients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the colonization and growth of coffee plants inoculated with AMF in soils with phosphorus doses (P) and different moistures. Coffee seedlings (Coffea arabica) were produced using mycorrhizal inoculum containing spores of de Glomus calrum, Glomus etunicatum and Scutellospora heterogma. The seedlings period lasted 160 days and subsequently conducted two experiments were planted in plastic pots and grown for 150 days in a greenhouse. To evaluate the effect of the P experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four replications in a factorial 4 x 4 with doses of 0.00; 0.74; 1.48 and 2.96 g kg-1 of P2O5 per plant and three FMA more the non-inoculated control. And to evaluate the effect of soil moisture the experimental design was the same as the P factorial and was also 4 x 4, with soil moisture 40, 60, 80 and 100% of field capacity and the same fungal treatments. The results for height increment, leaf area, dry weight of roots, dry weight of stem and percentage of colonization showed a significant interaction between AMF x phosphorus doses factors. And for interaction between factors AMF x soil moisture, the results showed a significant effect only for increase in leaf area, dry weight of roots and relative air / root part. The colonization of fungi Glomus clarum, Glomus etunicatum and Scutellospora heterogma had different results with similar behaviors, to doses P decreasing linearly and quadratic type to soil moisture. The AMF inoculation, the addition of P and increased soil moisture increase the growth of the coffee.

Abstract:

L’utilisation de matériaux d’origine végétale dans les bâtiments thermiquement performants pose la question de la pérennité des ouvrages principalement à cause de la dégradation fongique. Postia placenta est une espèce des champignons provoquant la pourriture brune, qui est la plus destructrice pour les constructions en bois.Ce travail se concentre sur l’observation et la modélisation de la croissance de Postia placenta à trois échelles successives : l'arborescence du mycélium (échelle discrète), la croissance en milieu libre (échelle continue) et la croissance en milieu encombré (échelle macroscopique). L’observation expérimentale de la croissance de Postia placenta utilise un microscope confocal à balayage laser pour quantifier les différentes mécanismes et obtenir les paramètres de croissance. A partir de cette observation, un modèle discret capable de générer un mycélium de forme extrêmement similaire à celle observée a été imaginé, développé et validé. Ensuite, à partir des profils de biomasse moyennés selon le rayon des mycéliums simulés par le modèle discret, un modèle continu basé sur une équation de réaction diffusion a été identifié pour décrire l’évolution de la concentration de biomasse fongique. Ce modèle continu offre la possibilité de la transition de l’échelle locale vers l’échelle macroscopique. Pour cela, des simulations de la prolifération en environnement encombré sont obtenues à l'aide du modèle continu. Par prise de moyenne, les champs spatio-temporels obtenus permettent de déterminer les paramètres d'un modèle continu similaire, mais valable à l'échelle macroscopique, sur un milieu fictif qui prend en considération la morphologie des obstacles
The use of bio-based materials in thermally efficient buildings raises the question of the sustainability mainly due to fungal degradation. Among the wood-decay fungi, Postia placenta is one of the most common brown rot fungi, which are the most destructive due to their rapid decaying mechanisms. This work focused on the experimental observation and the modeling of fungal growth at three successive scales: the mycelial network (discrete scale), mycelial growth in homogeneous media (continuous scale) and mycelial growth in porous media (macroscopic scale).The experimental observation of the growth of Postia placenta was performed using confocal laser scanning microscopy to quantify the different growth mechanisms and obtain the growth parameters. A discrete model has been derived from this observation and is capable of generating mycelial networks extremely similar to the observed ones. A continuous formulation based on a reaction diffusion equation was developed from the radial biomass density of a mycelial network obtained in the discrete model. This continuous formulation was then used to derive an equivalent macroscale model able to account for fungal development in porous media. Simulations were performed on various periodic porous media. The parameters of the macroscale model was identified on the macroscopic fields obtained by averaging the local field over one periodic unit cell

A utiliza??o dos fungos ectomicorr?zicos (FEM) em plantios comerciais de eucalipto melhora a adapta??o das mudas no campo e permite um uso mais eficiente de fertilizantes. A efici?ncia de doses de inoculante de FEM em promover o crescimento, a absor??o de nutrientes, a coloniza??o ectomicorr?zica e a qualidade de mudas clonais de Eucalyptus urophylla foi avaliada em condi??es de viveiro comercial. O experimento foi realizado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 4 x 4, com quatro doses de inoculante composto de mic?lio vegetativo incluso em gel de alginato de c?lcio (0, 5, 10 e 15 c?psulas) dos FEM Amanita muscaria isolado UFSC-Am161, Elaphomyces anthracinus (Cenococcum geophilum) isolado Amance, Pisolithus microcarpus isolado ITA-06 e Scleroderma areolatum isolado UFSC-Sc129, mais um controle n?o inoculado com 100 % da aduba??o de substrato, com quatro repeti??es. Os FEM, em geral, promoveram maior di?metro do coleto, altura da parte a?rea, massa seca da parte a?rea, coloniza??o ectomicorr?zica, teores e conte?dos foliares de N, P e K nas mudas clonais de eucalipto. O melhor crescimento e coloniza??o foram observados na maior dose de inoculante e os maiores teores e conte?do de P, N e K na dose de 10 c?psulas de inoculante. O ?ndice de qualidade de Dickson n?o foi influenciado pelos diferentes fungos e doses de inoculante. As mudas clonais de eucalipto inoculadas pelos FEM e crescidas com a metade da aduba??o de substrato, apesar de menor produ??o de massa seca, apresentaram teores e conte?dos de P e N e teor de K maiores ou iguais ?quelas crescidas com a aduba??o de substrato completa e n?o inoculadas. Apresentaram, assim, qualidade suficiente para o transplantio aos 90 dias.

ABSTRACT The use of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) in commercial plantation of eucalyptus improves the adaptation of seedlings in farm and allows a more efficient use of fertilizers. The efficiency of doses of inoculant of EMF to promote growth, nutrients absorption, ectomycorrhizal colonization and clonal seedlings quality of Eucalyptus urophylla in commercial plant nursery were assessed on this study. The crop fertilization of the substrate of production of seedling was reduced at 50 per cent to avoid inhibitory effect of crop fertilization on ectomycorrhizal colonization. The experiment was made in completely randomized design in 4x4-factorial scheme, with four doses of inoculum compounded with vegetal mycelium impregnated by calcium-alginate gel (0, 5, 10 and 15 capsules) of EMF Amanita muscaria isolated UFSC-Am161, Elaphomyces anthracinus (Cenococcum geophilum) isolated Amance, Pisolithus microcarpus isolated ITA-06 and Scleroderma areolatum isolated UFSC-Sc129, plus a non-inoculated control with a hundred per cent of fertilization of the substrate with four repetitions. The EMF, in general, promoted bigger diameter of the base, height of aerial part, dry matter of aerial part, ectomycorrhizal colonization, concentration and leaf content of N, P and K on clonal seedling of eucalyptus. The best growth and colonization were observed at the highest dose of the inoculant and the highest levels and contents of P, N and K at a dose of 10 capsules of inoculant. The Dickson Quality Index was not influenced by different fungi and doses of inoculum. The clonal eucalyptus seedling inoculated by the EMF and that was grown with half substrate fertilization, despite of less production of dry matter, show concentration and content of P and N and concentration of K bigger or equal to those seedling that was grown with the fertilization of substrate of production of seedlings of complete and non-inoculated. They also submit sufficient quality for transplantation as early as 90 days.

Abstract:

A criação racional de abelhas sem ferrão, conhecida como meliponicultura, é uma atividade crescente no Brasil e sua demanda abriu o campo para pesquisas que favorecem esse mercado. Além disso, o papel essencial desempenhado por esses insetos na polinização tem chamado atenção para o seu uso sustentável na prática agrícola. Nesses aspectos, alguns trabalhos são direcionados à aquisição de conhecimento básico sobre a biologia dessas abelhas que embasem técnicas de manejo e aprimoramento da sua criação. Um fator crucial é a multiplicação de colmeias em um intervalo de tempo menor a partir da obtenção artificial de rainhas, que foi o foco deste trabalho. A espécie aqui envolvida, Tetragona clavipes, tem distribuição ampla em território brasileiro e um potencial relevante no fornecimento de produtos como mel, pólen, cera e resinas, apesar dos poucos dados sobre seu manejo na literatura afim. Sua diferenciação de castas depende da quantidade de alimento ingerido durante a fase larval. A primeira parte da pesquisa envolveu a criação de larvas in vitro, onde foi caracterizada a quantidade limiar de alimento larval para diferenciação de castas: entre 45 e 50 µL. Nessas condições emergiram operárias e rainhas; entre 20 e 40 µL, apenas operárias e a partir de 60 até 110 µL, apenas rainhas. Houve mortalidade alta das larvas, com média de 40%, sendo o controle de umidade relativa o ponto crítico. A segunda parte do trabalho envolveu a formação de minicolônias, em que grupos de operárias jovens (aproximadamente 50) foram mantidos com rainhas virgens em caixas pequenas. 26 minicolônias foram montadas, dentre estas, 5 com rainhas naturais. Somente duas rainhas naturais foram fecundadas e tiveram sucesso na fundação dos ninhos. Nesses dois casos o número de operárias utilizado foi maior (em torno de 200) e com idades diferentes. O principal fator que limitou essa etapa foi a agressividade das operárias durante a fase para aceitação das rainhas virgens. Nesse ponto, a estratégia mais eficiente foi a introdução de rainhas, ainda em fase de pupa, dentro de cápsulas de cerume da própria minicolônia, apesar de não terem permanecido nas caixas mesmo depois de terem sido aceitas. Uma análise por morfometria geométrica, com os programas de computador tpsDig e MorphoJ, mostrou a diferença no padrão de venação entre as asas de operárias e rainhas obtidas em laboratório. Em todas as colônias observadas foi constatada a presença de um fungo que se desenvolve naturalmente no interior das células de cria, cujas hifas são ingeridas pela larva. Entretanto, não foi possível o seu isolamento em meio de cultivo. Apesar do número pequeno de ninhos novos formados, o estudo desta espécie possibilitou a aquisição de dados importantes para a continuidade das pesquisas e também para conduzir seu manejo mais eficiente, acrescentando informações até então desconhecidas sobre sua biologia e seu comportamento.
The rational creation of stingless bees, known as meliponiculture in Brazil, is a growing activity and its demand opened the field for research and many works that favor this market. Moreover, the essential role played by these insects as pollinators has drawn attention for its sustainable use in crop pollination. In these respects, some studies are directed to the acquisition of basic knowledge about the biology of these bees which to base management techniques and improvement on its creation. A crucial factor is the multiplication of hives in a shorter interval of time by the artificial obtainment of queens, which is the focus of present work. The species involved here was Tetragona clavipes, which has a wide distribution in Brazil and a significant potential to supply products such as honey, pollen, wax and resins, despite the few data about its management in the related literature. Its caste differentiation depends only on the amount of larval food ingested at the larval stage. The first step of the research involved the development of larvae in vitro, when was characterized the amount of larval food that is the threshold for its caste differentiation: between 45 and 50 µL. In these conditions workers and queens emerge; between 20 and 40 µL, only workers and from 60 to 110 µL, only queens. There was a high mortality of larvae with an average of 40%, where the control of relative humidity was the critical point. The second part of the work involved the attempted to form mini colonies, where groups of young workers (aroud 50) with virgin queens were kept in small boxes. 26 mini colonies were assembled, among these, five with virgins natural queens. Only two natural queens were fertilized and founded nests with success. In these cases the number of workers put inside box was higher (around 200) and with different ages. The main factor that had limited this step was the aggressiveness of the workers during the acceptance of the virgin queens. At this point, the most effective strategy was the introduction of queens still in the pupal stage, inside capsules of cerumen from the own mini colonies, despite not having stayed in the boxes probably by other reasons, even when already were accepted. Additional analysis using geometric morphometrics, with the computer programs tpsDig and MorphoJ, showed a difference in the pattern of wing venation between workers and queens obtained in laboratory. In all colonies observed also was found the presence of a fungus that grows naturally inside of brood cells, whose hyphae are ingested by the larvae. However, it could not be isolated in culture medium. Despite the small number of new nests acquired, the study of this species allowed the acquisition of important data for further research and also to conduct its management more efficient, adding previously unknown details about its biology and behavior.

Abstract:

AbstractThe world cultural heritage sites face new challenges for an effective protection and management because of destruction and damage initiated by both natural and anthropogenic causes. Fresh rock and sandstone surfaces of buildings are quickly colonized and covered by a layer of microorganisms, including phototrophs, lithotrophs, and heterotrophs to form a biofilm that alters the local conditions of the stone surfaces, especially under the favorable tropical climate conditions for autotrophic microorganisms and plants. Biofilms had been studied with indigenous or pure cultures of isolated microorganisms, but the selective ones that contribute to deterioration of the cultural heritage cannot be confirmed easily. Currently, high-throughput sequencing and metegenomics analyses are capable of obtaining microbial community and composition in great depth, but they also suffer from similar weakness unable to identify the culprits in the community. With these as background, this article presents a different approach by focusing on the biochemical processes and the responsible microorganisms involved to reveal the destruction processes for management and protection. Among these different functional groups of microorganisms, lichens are known as pioneering rock-decomposing microorganisms, and both sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and fungi participate in the decomposition of sandstone via sulfur cycling and initiation of salt attack of the stone afterward, resulting in defoliation and cracking of stone. Other microorganisms including ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea, especially the latter, have been recently detected on sandstone monuments providing evidence on the new organisms involved in the deterioration of cultural heritage and buildings. In addition, fungi can colonize the surfaces of the matured biofilms and play a new role in the removal of them, which has a potential biotechnological application in conservation of cultural heritage. The new proposed approach by focusing the microorganisms with identified biochemical function is more productive than a description of the community composition and assembly when assessing cultural heritage biodeterioration, and this provides basic and useful information for effective protection strategies and management.

Abstract:

Nanoparticles synthesis using microorganisms and others as source has been unexplored and underexploited. The development of green processes for the synthesis of NP is evolving into an important branch of nanotechnology. Fungal endophytes are microorganisms that colonize living, internal tissues of plants without causing any immediate, overtly negative effects, Endophytic fungi are ubiquitous in plant species and are mutualistic to their host, recently, endophytic fungi have been recognized as important sources of a variety of structurally novel active secondary metabolites with anticancer, antimicrobial and other biological activities, Endophytic mediated synthesis of metal nanoparticles is gaining more importance owing to its simplicity, rapid rate of synthesis of NP of attractive and diverse morphologies and elimination of elaborate maintenance of cell cultures and ecofriendliness. Presently, the researchers are looking into the development of cost-effective procedures for producing reproducible, stable and biocompatible metal NPs.

Abstract:

The term “endophyte” comes from words “endo” meaning within and “phyton” meaning plant. In 1866, De Bary first defined an endophyte as any organism that resides in the tissues of plants but not causing any harm. Thus, endophytes can be a microorganism, usually fungi or bacteria, that colonizes plants parts. The plant tissues/parts where endophytes grow include healthy leaves, petioles, stems, twigs, bark, roots, fruits, flowers, and seeds. They are found virtually in every one of the 300,000 species of vascular plants. Many endophytes co-exist in a single plant host with their populations ranging from one to hundreds of bacterial/fungal species. This chapter outlines a historical perspective of endophytes including ethnobotanical approach to drug discovery. Also, this chapter provides upto date information on the emerging role of endophytes in the sustainability of pasture and economy of agriculture, thereby contributing to the environmental sustainability.

Abstract:

The chrome shavings waste obtained as a result of the leather finishing process accumulates in a large volume in tanneries and represent a major problem for the environment. This waste are particularly resistant to attack of microorganisms, due to the significant concentration of chromium and are thus difficult to degrade. In this study, chrome shavings were analyzed microbiologically by determining the total number of germs and the number of yeasts and molds on specific culture media. Several bacterial and fungal strains were isolated from the cultures in Petri dishes, after the growth of the colonies. These strains were characterized in terms of the production of proteolytic enzymes, by a method of screening on the media with casein, which allows the determination of proteolytic indices of microorganisms. As a result of the tests performed, five bacterial strains probably belonging to the genus Bacillus and two fungal strains from the genera Penicillium and Cladosporium were selected.

Abstract:

The expression of the PAL gene, one of the host protection genes, in sterile barley plants and colonized F. culmorum and P. fluorescens 2137 were assessed. The obtained results indicate that strain 2137 may cause a more active protective response (1.5-2.1 fold) in barley than a phytopathogenic fungus.
