Phylogenetic Diversity and Effect of Temperature on Pathogenicity of .

Although lupin anthracnose caused by is a significant threat for spring and winter lupin crops, it has been poorly studied so far. This study aimed at characterizing the (i) phylogenetic, (ii) morphological, and (iii) physiological diversity of collected isolates from anthracnose-affected lupins. The genetic identification of representative isolates ( = 71) revealed that they were all species, further confirming that lupin anthracnose is caused by this species.

Isolation, Identification and Enzymatic Activity of Halotolerant and Halophilic Fungi from the Great Sebkha of Oran in Northwestern of Algeria.

The Great Sebkha of Oran is a closed depression located in northwestern of Algeria. Despite the ranking of this sebkha among the wetlands of global importance by Ramsar Convention in 2002, no studies on the fungal community in this area have been carried out. In our study, samples were collected from two different regions.

Development and application of MALDI-TOF MS for identification of food spoilage fungi.

Filamentous fungi are frequently involved in food spoilage and cause important food losses and substantial economic damage. Their rapid and accurate identification is a key step to better manage food safety and quality. In recent years, MALDI-TOF MS has emerged as a powerful tool to identify microorganisms and has successfully been applied to the identification of filamentous fungi especially in the clinical context.

Combined Metabarcoding and Multi-locus approach for Genetic characterization of Colletotrichum species associated with common walnut (Juglans regia) anthracnose in France.

Juglans regia (walnut) is a species belonging to the family Juglandaceae. Broadly spread in diverse temperate and subtropical regions, walnut is primarily cultivated for its nuts. In France, Colletotrichum sp.
