Rot disease, caused by the fungal pathogen Peniophora salaccae SKRU002, affects the quality of snake fruit production. In the pursuit of sustainable disease management, biocontrol using Trichoderma asperelloides SKRU-01 offers a promising solution. This study evaluated the antagonistic potential of T.

Exploring the potential of flower extracts as a source of antioxidants, antimicrobials, and cytoprotective agents for biomedical applications.

Plants provide an unlimited source of bioactive compounds, possessing tremendous applications in the pharmaceutical industry. In the search for sources of antioxidants and antimicrobial agents against human pathogens, ethanol extracts of flowers (CJ flower extract) were evaluated. The highest total phenolic (5.

Heat stability of Trichoderma asperelloides SKRU-01 culture filtrates: Potential applications for controlling fungal spoilage and AFB production in peanuts.

This study aimed to examine the heat stability of culture filtrates of Trichoderma asperelloides SKRU-01 (culture filtrates SKRU-01) over a temperatures range (40-121 °C) and the effects on the antifungal activity against two aflatoxin-producing strains (Aspergillus parasiticus TISTR 3276 and A. flavus PSRDC-4), aflatoxin B (AFB) degradation, and the role in mycotoxin control in peanuts. The impact of SKRU-01 culture age (2-12 day-old) on both pathogenic strains revealed that the culture age of 6-12 day-old cultures exhibited no significant difference (p > 0.

Application of antifungal metabolites from Streptomyces philanthi RL-1-178 for maize grain coating formulations and their efficacy as biofungicide during storage.

The major safety risk of maize grain is contamination with mycotoxins. In this study, a maize-coating formulation containing freeze-dried culture filtrate of Streptomyces philanthi RL-1-178 (DCF RL-1-178) was developed and evaluated to prevent the growth of mycotoxins during maize grain storage. In vitro studies using confrontation tests on PDA plates indicated that S.

Antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic mechanism activity of freeze-dried culture filtrate of Streptomyces philanthi RL-1-178 on the two aflatoxigenic fungi and identification of its active component.

Aims: The study reports the antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic mechanism activity of freeze-dried culture filtrate of Streptomyces philanthi RL-1-178 (DCF RL-1-178) against two aflatoxigenic strains (Aspergillus parasiticus and A. flavus) and identification of its active component.

Methods And Results: Significant inhibition in ergosterol biosynthesis by the DCF RL-1-178 appeared on the plasma membrane.

Efficacy of the antifungal metabolites of Streptomyces philanthi RL-1-178 on aflatoxin degradation with its application to prevent aflatoxigenic fungi in stored maize grains and identification of the bioactive compound.

Aflatoxin B is a potent carcinogen produced by Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus) and Aspergillus. parasiticus (A.

Impact of environmental factors on Streptomyces spp. metabolites against Botrytis cinerea.

Botrytis cinerea is an economically important disease on numerous vegetables including tomato. From our previous studies, a spore suspension of Streptomyces philanthi RL-1-178 and RM-1-138 and Streptomyces mycarofaciens SS-2-243 showed strong inhibition against B. cinerea.

Utilization of palm oil mill effluent as a novel substrate for the production of antifungal compounds by Streptomyces philanthi RM-1-138 and evaluation of its efficacy in suppression of three strains of oil palm pathogen.

Aims: This study aimed to use palm oil mill effluent (POME) as a renewable resource for the production of antifungal compounds by Streptomyces philanthi RM-1-138 against Ganoderma boninense, Ceratocystis paradoxa and Curvularia oryzae.

Methods And Results: The efficacy of antifungal compounds RM-1-138 against the three strains of fungal oil palm pathogen was evaluated both in vitro and on oil palm leaf segments. In vitro studies using confrontation tests on glucose yeast-malt extract (GYM) agar plates indicated that the strain RM-1-138 inhibited the growth of all three fungal pathogenic strains.

Inhibitory effects of acetophenone or phenylethyl alcohol as fumigant to protect soybean seeds against two aflatoxin-producing fungi.

The antifungal activity of acetophenone and phenylethyl alcohol prevents seed contamination by TISTR 3041 and TISTR 3276. Their effects on seed germination were investigated. In vitro results showed that 100 µL L acetophenone completely inhibited (by 100%) growth, conidial germination, and sporulation of the two aflatoxin-producing fungi, while phenylethyl alcohol showed only weak inhibitory activity even at 1000 µL L.

Factors affecting antifungal activity of Streptomyces philanthi RM-1-138 against Rhizoctonia solani.

Sheath blight disease of rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn is economically important disease in most of the world's rice growing areas. The disease causes severe yield losses of >20% of rice in Thailand. Our previous investigation reported the antifungal activity of Streptomyces philanthi RM-1-138 against R.

Potential for the integration of biological and chemical control of sheath blight disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani on rice.

Biological control using antagonistic microbes to minimize the use of chemical pesticides has recently become more prevalent. In an attempt to find an integrated control system for sheath blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani in rice, Streptomyces philanthi RM-1-138, commercial formulations of Bacillus subtilis as Larminar® and B. subtilis strain NSRS 89-24+MK-007 as Biobest® and chemical fungicides including carbendazim®, validamycin®, propiconazole® and mancozeb® were applied alone and in combination with S.
