Development of sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers for accurate and differential identification of multienzyme-producing and non-enzymatic Aspergillus strains of industrial importance.

Aspergillus strains are known to produce multiple enzymes of industrial importance. To screen Aspergillus isolates and select a strain with the ability to produce multiple enzymes and discriminate it from non-enzymatic strains, a rapid and accurate approach is required. With this background, a DNA fingerprinting-based study was conducted to develop a simple but accurate molecular detection method with the potential to discriminate multienzyme-producing Aspergillus strains from non-enzymatic strains, irrespective of species.

Antifungal Potential of Strain 31 against Phytopathogenic spp. Associated with Cereals.

Antifungal efficacy of against trichothecene-producing spp. was investigated in maize, sorghum, and wheat. The three cereals were subjected to four treatments as control (T1), alone (T2), combination of and treatment (T3), and only (T4).
