New record of Chaetomium species isolated from soil under pineapple plantation in Thailand. Journal of Agricultural Technology 4(2): 91-103. Chaetomium species were isolated from soil in pineapple plantations in Phatthalung and Rayong provinces by soil plate and baiting techniques. Taxonomic study was based on available dichotomously keys and monograph of the genus. Five species are recorded as follows: C. aureum, C. bostrychodes, C. cochliodes, C. cupreum and C. gracile. Another four species are reported to be new records in Thailand as follows: C. carinthiacum, C. flavigenum, C. perlucidum and C. succineum. Key words: Chaetomium, Taxonomic study Introduction Chaetomium is a fungus belonging to Ascomycota of the family Chaetomiaceae which established by Kunze in 1817 (von Arx et al., 1986). Chaetomium Kunze is one of the largest genera of saprophytic ascomycetes which comprise more than 300 species worldwide (von Arx et al., 1986; Soytong and Quimio, 1989; Decock and Hennebert, 1997; Udagawa et al., 1997; Rodríguez et al., 2002). Approximately 20 species have been recorded in Thailand (Table 1). -

Plant pathogens are the main threat for profitable agricultural productivity. Currently, Chemical fungicides are highly effective and convenient to use but they are a potential threat for the environment. Therefore the use of biocontrol agents for the management of plant pathogens is considered as a safer and sustainable strategy for safe and profitable agricultural productivity. Many experiments and studies revealed by various researchers C. globosum used as plant growth promoter and resulted into high yield of crops in field conditions. C. globosum produces pectinolytic enzymes polygalacturonate trans- eliminase (PGTE), pectin trans-eliminase (PTE), viz., polygalacturonase (PG), pectin methyl esterase (PME), protopectinase (PP), xylanase and cellulolytic (C and C ) 1 xenzymes and various biologically active substances, such as chaetoglobosin A, Chaetomium B, C, D, Q, R, T, chaetomin, chaetocin, chaetochalasin A, chaetoviridins A and C. The present aim of this article we have discussed the various aspects of biocontrol potential of Chaetomium globosum. Keywords: Biological control, Chaetomium globosum, plant pathogens Introduction Chaetomium globosum is so far commonest and most cosmopolitan fungi especially on plant remains, seeds, compost paper and other cellulosic substrates.

Chaetomium elatum ChE01 was proved to be antagonized P. oryzae in bi-culture antagonistic test which averaged inhibition of 60.40 % within 15 days. Fungal metabolites from C. elatum ChE01 were extracted and tested to inhibit P. oryzae. Results showed that crude ethyl acetate expressed antifungal activity against P. oryzae which the effective dose50 (ED50) was 231 ppm., followed by crude methanol and crude hexane which the ED50 were 460 and 2,122 ppm. respectively. It was shown that nano-CCE gave the highest inhibition P. oryzae which the ED50 was 8.25 ppm, and followed by nano-CEM and nano-CEH which the ED50 values were 11.21 and 65.52 ppm, respectively. Further research findings are investigated in pot and field experiments.

Two new records of chaetomium species isolated from soil under grapevine plantations and a checklist of the genus in Iraq. International Journal of Agricultural Technology 11(7):1571-1579. Abstract During the course of study soil micro fungi from grapevine plantations in Iraq, two species of Chaetomium were reported for the first time in Iraq. These include C.longicolleum and C.madrasense. Brief description and photographic plates are provided for the newly recorded species. A checklist that included 21 species of chaetomium were previously reported from various habitats in Iraq has been provided. Keywords: Soil fungi, Chaetomium, Ascomycota, Taxonomy, Iraq. Introduction The genus Chaetomium Kunze (Chaetomiaceae: Ascomycota) is characterized by superficial ostiolate ascomata covered with terminal and lateral hairs and attached to the substrate by rhizoidal hyphae. Asci are usually clavate to fusiform or sometimes cylindrical, thin-walled without apical structure, evanescent. Ascospores are aseptate with one or two germ pores, brown to grey-brown (Arx et al., 1986). Species in Chaetomium are widespread and occupied different ecological niche. They are commonly isolated from soil, seeds, decaying plant materials, herbal drugs, sugarcane and dung (Skolko and Groves, 1953, Horie et al., 1990, Watanabe 2002, Domsch et al., 2007, Abdullah and Saleh, 2010, Mungai et al., 2012, Doveri 2013). -
Cladosporium Mold
GuideClassification to Common Mold Types Hazard Class A: includes fungi or their metabolic products that are highly hazardous to health. These fungi or metabolites should not be present in occupied dwellings. Presence of these fungi in occupied buildings requires immediate attention. Hazard class B: includes those fungi which may cause allergic reactions to occupants if present indoors over a long period. Hazard Class C: includes fungi not known to be a hazard to health. Growth of these fungi indoors, however, may cause eco- nomic damage and therefore should not be allowed. Molds commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms: • Cladosporium cladosporioides (hazard class B) • Cladosporium sphaerospermum (hazard class C) • Ulocladium botrytis (hazard class C) • Chaetomium globosum (hazard class C) • Aspergillus fumigatus (hazard class A) Molds commonly found on wallpapers: • Cladosporium sphaerospermum • Chaetomium spp., particularly Chaetomium globosum • Doratomyces spp (no information on hazard classification) • Fusarium spp (hazard class A) • Stachybotrys chartarum, commonly called ‘black mold‘ (hazard class A) • Trichoderma spp (hazard class B) • Scopulariopsis spp (hazard class B) Molds commonly found on mattresses and carpets: • Penicillium spp., especially Penicillium chrysogenum (hazard class B) and Penicillium aurantiogriseum (hazard class B) • Aspergillus versicolor (hazard class A) • Aureobasidium pullulans (hazard class B) • Aspergillus repens (no information on hazard classification) • Wallemia sebi (hazard class C) • Chaetomium -

Wang1, L. Lombard2, J.Z. Groenewald2, J. Li1, S.I.R. Videira2, R.A. Samson2, X.Z. Liu1*, P.W. Crous 2,3,4* Key words Abstract Chaetomium globosum, the type species of the genus, is ubiquitous, occurring on a wide variety of sub- strates, in air and in marine environments. This species is recognised as a cellulolytic and/or endophytic fungus. It DNA barcode is also known as a source of secondary metabolites with various biological activities, having great potential in the epitypification agricultural, medicinal and industrial fields. On the negative side, C. globosum has been reported as an air con- multi-gene phylogeny taminant causing adverse health effects and as causal agent of human fungal infections. However, the taxonomic species complex status of C. globosum is still poorly understood. The contemporary species concept for this fungus includes a systematics broadly defined morphological diversity as well as a large number of synonymies with limited phylogenetic evidence. The aim of this study is, therefore, to resolve the phylogenetic limits of C. globosum s.str. and related species. Screening of isolates in the collections of the CBS-KNAW Fungal Biodiversity Centre (The Netherlands) and the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Centre (China) resulted in recognising 80 representative isolates of the C. globosum species complex. Thirty-six species are identified based on phylogenetic inference of six loci, supported by typical morphological characters, mainly ascospore shape. -

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATIONOF Kentaro Hosaka for the degree of Doctor ofPhilosophy in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on October 26, 2005. Title: Systematics, Phylogeny, andBiogeography of the Hysterangiales and Related Taxa (Phallomycetidae, Homobasidiomycetes). Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Monophyly of the gomphoid-phalloid dadewas confirmed based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. Four major subclades(Hysterangiales, Geastrales, Gomphales and Phallales) were also demonstratedto be monophyletic. The interrelationships among the subclades were, however, not resolved, andalternative topologies could not be rejected statistically. Nonetheless,most analyses showed that the Hysterangiales and Phallales do not forma monophyletic group, which is in contrast to traditional taxonomy. The higher-level phylogeny of thegomphoid-phalloid fungi tends to suggest that the Gomphales form a sister group with either the Hysterangialesor Phallales. Unweighted parsimonycharacter state reconstruction favorsthe independent gain of the ballistosporic mechanism in the Gomphales, but the alternativescenario of multiple losses of ballistospoiy could not be rejected statistically underlikelihood- based reconstructions. This latterhypothesis is consistent with thewidely accepted hypothesis that the loss of ballistosporyis irreversible. The transformationof fruiting body forms from nongastroid to gastroidwas apparent in the lineage leading to Gautieria (Gomphales), but thetree topology and character statereconstructions supported that truffle-like -
