The gene encoding Trichoderma harzianum fungus pustulanase (ThBGL1.6, GH5 family, endo-β-1,6-glucanase, EC 3.2.1.75) was cloned and heterologously expressed by the highly productive Penicillium verruculosum fungus. The recombinant ThBGL1.6 was purified and its properties were studied. The ThBGL1.6 had an observed molecular mass of 46 kDa (SDS-PAGE data) and displayed maximum of the enzyme activity at pH 5.0 and 50 °C. At 45 °C, the ThBGL1.6 was stable for at least 3 h. The K was 1.0 g/L with pustulan as the substrate. Reaction product analysis by HPLC clearly indicated that ThBGL1.6 has an endo-hydrolytic mode of action against pustulan as specific substrate. It was also identified that gentiobiose is the main reaction product at studying of long-term pustulan hydrolysis.

As environmental and health concerns increase, the trend toward sustainable agriculture is moving toward using biological agents. About 60% of all biological fungicides have species as the active ingredient, with as the most common species in these products. However, the name has often been used incorrectly in culture collections, databases, and scientific literature due to the division of the Harzianum clade (HC) into more than 95 cryptic species, with only one being named .

The granite rubble soil produced through excavation during construction is nutrient-poor and has a simplified microbial community, making it difficult for plants to grow and increasing the challenges of ecological restoration. Recent studies have demonstrated that microbial inoculants significantly promote plant growth and are considered a potential factor influencing root development. Microorganisms influence root development either directly or indirectly, forming beneficial symbiotic relationships with plant roots.

The complexities of non-target effects of registered pesticides on biocontrol agents (BCAs) hinder the optimization of integrated pest management programs in agriculture. The wealth of literature on BCA-pesticide compatibility allows for the investigation of factors influencing BCA susceptibility and the generalized impacts of different pesticides. We conducted a meta-analysis using 2088 observations from 122 published articles to assess non-target effects on two phytoseiid species (Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis), a parasitoid (Encarsia formosa), and two microbial BCAs (Trichoderma harzianum and Metarhizium anisopliae).

In this study, the crude chemical constituents extracted from Trichoderma harzianum and their toxicity were evaluated against the larvae, pupae, and adults of Anopheles stephensi at 24 and 48 h post-treatment. Additionally, the chemical constituents of the crude extracts were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, and their ability to bind with target proteins was confirmed through molecular docking studies. The results clearly demonstrated that the chemical compounds from T.
