Duddingtonia flagrans and its crude proteolytic extract: concomitant action in sheep coprocultures.

The presence of infective larvae (L) of gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites in pastures directly contributes to the constant recurrence of infections in ruminant herds. This study aimed to evaluate the nematophagous fungus Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001) (proteolytic crude extract and/or conidia) in the in vitro control of GIN L in coprocultures. To produce the proteolytic crude extract, a suspension (10 conidia/mL) of D.

Proteolytic and nematicidal potential of the compost colonized by Hypsizygus marmoreus.

Spent mushroom compost (SMC) is a residue generated in edible mushrooms production, such as Hypsizygus marmoreus. Its genome was recently sequenced, demonstrating cuticle-degrading protease genes. The present work aims to investigate the proteases from H.
