Stimulation of mycelial growth of Endothia parasitica by specific heavy metals that detoxify accumulated oxalate

Creator:

Englander, Carol Marcus

Abstract:

Mycelial growth of Endothia parasitica was stimulated by relatively high concentrations of CuSO₄ in potato dextrose agar medium (PDA). Stimulation of E. parasitica by the high levels of CuSO₄ and the relatively poor growth of this fungus on standard culture media suggested that stimulation might be due to interaction of...

Methylisothiocyanate as a wood fumigant : fungitoxicity to Poria carbonica in wood and gelatin encapsulation for use in wood products

Creator:

Zahora, Andrew Roy

Abstract:

Experiments were conducted to determine both the influence of wood moisture content on the fungitoxicity of methylisothiocyanate (MIT) to the wood-decay fungus Poria carbonica, and the ability of gelatin to safely en-capsulate MIT for efficient treatment of wood products. The fungitoxicity of MIT was studied by determining the product of...

Production of pectic enzymes by Verticillium albo-atrum

Creator:

McIntyre, Gary Allen

Abstract:

The main objectives of this study were to determine the effect of certain environmental conditions on the quantity of poly-galacturonase (PG) produced by V. albo-atrum, and to partially purify and characterize the PGs produced by this fungus in culture and in infected tomato plants. V. albo-atrum produced twenty times as...
