Effects of the Nematophagous Fungi Arthrobotrys oligospora Fresen and Trichoderma harzianum Rifai on Nematodes infecting Banana, Tomato and Lime Plants Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Protection(Plant Pathology) (September, 2013) Department of Crop Protection Faculty of Agriculture Sciences, University of Gezira ABSTRACT Nematophagous fungi are the fungi which attack nematodes, many of them are plant pathogens. These fungi worldwide in distribution and have been reported from many countries This study has been carried out to search for nematophagous fungi in Gezira including Sudan. soil and their capability to attack nematodes. Random samples collected from Gezira soil grown with tomato, banana and lemon crops were put on Corn Meal Ajar media (CMA) for the growth of the fungi and nematodes. Using Digital Microscope many types of trapping nematodes had been seen, Such as those with adhesive nets, adhesive knob and presence of fungal spores The samples labeled, and kept in laboratory for further inside the dead body of the nematode. The fungi has been identified as Arthrobotrys oligospora and .study in the glass house Trichoderma harzianum. The study investigated the capability of those fungi to attack and destroy nematodes. The nematophagous fungi A. oligospora was found to attack the nematode similis It was also noticed that, the nematode had been captured by adhesive knops Radophilus and after that the nematode struggled until death. The fungus A. oligospora penetrates the nematode cuticle and consumed all the body content of the nematode. Also the same fungus had been seen capturing the nematode Xiphenema sp. by adhesive net and had been held at two points and sometimes at several points. The fungus T. harzianum has been tested for its potential as a biological control agent and was found to suppress nematode population densities when it was added in different concentrations (105, 104 and103 spores/ml) to 50 Meloidojyne javanica nematodes in soil planted with tomato. The fungus reduced the numbers of nematode galls on tomato roots compared with the untreated control and resulted in excellent plant vegetative growth. Growing of lemon plants on soil artificially infested with Xiphenema sp. nematodes and treated with different concentrations of the fungus A. oligospora inocula significantly increased the number of lemon plant leaves, stem length, root length and also increased the fresh and dry root weight compared to the same soil without fungal inoculation. Also the different concentrations of the same fungus resulted in excellent vegetative growth of banana plants when grown in soil artificially infested with the nematode R. similis. Effect of different rates of the fungus T. harzianum metabolites on the nematode Xiphenema sp. had been studied. The different rates of the fungal metabolites (10-1, 10-2 and 10-3) after 24 hours gave comparable percentage of mortality, 16.8%, 14.19% and 11.65% respectively, but significantly better than the untreated control that resulted in 3.78% mortality. After 72 hours, the highest concentrations of the fungal metabolites resulted in significantly high nematodes mortality (66.24%) compared with the lowest one (42 93%) and the untreated control (8.87%). The study recommended that, Nematophagous fungi, if given more attention may be useful as biological control which can decrease cost of nematicides and conserve the ecosystem. على النيماتودا التى تصيب .harzianum Rifai T وA. oligospora Fresenتأثير الفطريات القاتله للنيماتودا نباتات الموز، الطماطم و الليمون دكتوراة الفلسفة في وقاية المحاصيل )امراض النبات( قسم وقاية المحاصيل، كلية العلوم الزراعية، جامعة الجزيرة ملخص الدراسة الفطريات القاتله للنيماتودا هي تلك التي تهاجم النيماتودا والتي كثيرا منها مسببا ﻻمراض النبات. وهذه الفطريات كثيرة اﻻنتشار وسجلت قي كثير من البلدان بما فيها السودان. أجريت هذه الدراسه للبحث عن بعض الفطريات التي تقوم بمهاجمة انواع مختلفة من النيماتودا. جمعت عينات عشوائية من مناطق مختلفة بالجزيرة زرعت بمحاصيل الطماطم,الموز والليمون. وضعت العينات في بيئة مناسبة لنمو الفطر والنيماتودا معا. باستخدام المجهر الرقمي ,شوهدت عديد من طرق هجوم الفطر علي النيماتودا, منها صنع الفطر لشبكه من الميسيليوم واصطياد النيماتودا بها, أيضا هناك بعض الفطريات تقوم بعمل حلقات منقبضة و غير منقبضة وتعمل علي خنق النيماتودا بها حتي تموت. فطريات أخري تخترق جدار النيماتودا وتقوم باستهﻻك اﻷحشاء الداخلية للنيماتودا وتكوين جراثيمها داخل جسم النيماتودا. تم التعرف علي هذه الفطريات بعد عزلها بالمعمل ,كما تم التعرف علي النيماتودا أيضا وتم حفظ العينات بالمعمل وذلك ﻹجراء الدراسة الﻻزمة بالمشتل. الفطريات التي تم التعرف عليها هي , Arthrobotrys oligosporaو Trichoderma harzianum. خﻻل هذه الدراسة تمت معرفة مدي مقدرة تلك الفطريات علي مكافحة الديدان ألثعبانيه. لغرض هذه الدراسة تم جمع عينات التربة من مناطق مختلفة هي مزرعة هيئة البحوث الزراعيه, منطقة باشكار )قسم المسلميه(, وادي شعير, أم سنط و حنتوب. اوضحت هذه الدراسه النشاط العالي للفطرA. oligospora علي مهاجمة بعض الديدان الثعبانيه خاصة Radophillus similis المعروفه بمقدرتها علي مهاجمة نبات الموز وتؤدي الي نقصان اﻻ نتاجيه. اوضحت الدراسه ان الديدان الثعبانيه تقبض بالتصاقها بالحلقات المنقبضه وتستمر الديدان الثعبانيه بالمقاومه حتي تموت. الفطر A. oligospora يخترق جدار الديدان الثعبانيه ويستهلك كل محتوياتها. كذلك يصطاد هذا الفطر الديدان الثعبانيه من نوع .Xiphenema sp ويلتصق بها بواسطة شبكه في اكثر من نقطه. وهذا النوع من الديدان الثعبانيه معروف بمهاجمته ﻻشجار الليمون. الفطر .T harzianum تم اختياره في مجال المكافحه الحيويه كعامل مؤثر علي تقليل كثافة الديدان الثعبانيه Meloidojyne javanica عندما اضيف بتركيزات مختلفه and 103) spores/ml 104 ,105( مع عدد 50 من هذه الديدان في تربه زرعت بنباتات طماطم. اوضحت النتائج مقدرة هذا الفطر علي تقليل اﻻنتفاخات في جذور الطماطم مقارنة بالشاهد كما اوضحت النتائج مقدرة هذا الفطر في تحسين النمو الخضري للنبات مما يوضح مقدرته فى مكافحة الديدان الثعبانيه . أدت اضافة الفطر A. oligospora بتركيزات مختلقه ) (and 10-3 2-10 ,1-10) مع عدد 50 من الديدان الثعبانيه Xiphenema sp الي التربه الي زيادة أوراق نبات الليمون ,طول السيقان, طول الجذور و الوزن الجاف والرطب للجذور لموسمين مقارنة مع الشاهد. كذلك أدي نفس الفطر عندما أضيف بتركيزات مختلفة and 10- 10-2 ,10-1) (3 مع عدد 50 من الديدان الثعبانيه R. similis. الي تربه زرعت بنبات الموز لتحسين النمو الخضرى للنبات من زياده لعدد اﻻوراق,طول السيقان وزيادة الوزن الجاف والرطب للجذور.أدي وضع تركيزات مختلفه من metabolites الفطر T. harzianum (3-10 2-10 ,1-10) مع أعداد معينه من الديدان الثعبانيه .Xiphenema sp في أطباق بتري الى نسبه عاليه من قتل الديدان الثعبانيه تراوحت بين 11.65%- 16.8% بعد 24 ساعه مقارنة مع 3.78% للشاهد وتم الحصول علي نفس النتائج بعد 48 و 72 ساعه. ادي اعلي تركيز إلي نسبة موت بلغت 66.24% بينما أدي التركيز اﻷقل والشاهد الي 42.93% و 8.87% علي التوالي. توصي الدراسه بانه اذا ما وجدت الفطريات القاتله للنيماتودا مزيدا من اﻻهتمام يمكن ان تفيد في المكافحه الحيويه وتقلل من تكلفة المبيدات النيماتوديه وتحمي المنظومه البيئيه.

We designed and tested primers to amplify these genes across early-diverging Harpellales fungal clades, with emphasis on the Kickxellomycotina, zygomycetous fungi with characteristic flared septal walls Kickxellomycotina forming pores with lenticular plugs. Phylogenetic tree resolution and congruence with MCM7 and TSR1 were com- MCM7 pared against those inferred with nuclear small (SSU) and large subunit (LSU) rRNA genes. We also combined MS277 MCM7 and TSR1 data with the rDNA data to create 3- and 4-gene trees of the Kickxellomycotina that help to resolve MS456 evolutionary relationships among and within the core clades of this subphylum. Phylogenetic inference suggests ribosomal biogenesis protein that Barbatospora, Orphella, Ramicandelaber and Spiromyces may represent unique lineages.

Evolutionary ecological hypotheses of the recovered taxa and Species Hypotheses are difficult to test due to problems with alignments and the lack of a phylogenetic backbone. We propose an updated phylum- and class-level fungal classification accounting for monophyly and divergence time so that the main taxonomic ranks are more informative. Based on phylogenies and divergence time estimates, we adopt phylum rank to Aphelidiomycota, Basidiobolomycota, Calcarisporiellomycota, Glomeromycota, Entomoph- thoromycota, Entorrhizomycota, Kickxellomycota, Monoblepharomycota, Mortierellomycota and Olpidiomycota. We accept nine subkingdoms to accommodate these 18 phyla. We consider the kingdom Nucleariae (phyla Nuclearida and Fonticulida) as a sister group to the Fungi. We also introduce a perl script and a newick-formatted classification backbone for assigning Species Hypotheses into a hierarchical taxonomic framework, using this or any other classification system.

Abstract Peatlands have an important role in global climate change through sequestration of atmospheric CO2. However, climate change is already affecting these ecosystems, including both above- and below- ground communities and their functions, such as decomposition. Fungi have a greater biomass than other soil organisms and play a central role in these communities. As a result, there is concern that altered fungal

  • Dominated Forest Plot in Southern Ontario and the Phylogenetic Placement of a New Ascomycota Subphylum
    Above and Below Ground Fungal Diversity in a Hemlock- Dominated Forest Plot in Southern Ontario and the Phylogenetic Placement of a New Ascomycota Subphylum by Teresita Mae McLenon-Porter A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto © Copyright by Teresita Mae McLenon-Porter 2008 Above and below ground fungal diversity in a Hemlock- dominated forest plot in southern Ontario and the phylogenetic placement of a new Ascomycota subphylum Teresita Mae McLenon-Porter Doctor of Philosophy Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto 2008 General Abstract The objective of this thesis was to assess the diversity and community structure of fungi in a forest plot in Ontario using a variety of field sampling and analytical methods. Three broad questions were addressed: 1) How do different measures affect the resulting view of fungal diversity? 2) Do fruiting bodies and soil rDNA sampling detect the same phylogenetic and ecological groups of Agaricomycotina? 3) Will additional rDNA sampling resolve the phylogenetic position of unclassified fungal sequences recovered from environmental sampling? Generally, richness, abundance, and phylogenetic diversity (PD) correspond and identify the same dominant fungal groups in the study site, although in different proportions. Clades with longer branch lengths tend to comprise a larger proportion of diversity when assessed using PD. Three phylogenetic-based comparisons were found to be variable in their ability to ii detect significant differences. Generally, the Unifrac significance measure (Lozupone et al., 2006) is the most conservative, followed by the P-test (Martin, 2002), and Libshuff library comparison (Singleton et al., 2001) with our dataset.

We sequenced Cochlonema odontosperma the genomes of 4 zoopagalean taxa that are predators of amoebae, nematodes, or rotifers and the genome of one Single cell genomics taxon that is a parasite of amoebae using single cell sequencing methods with whole genome amplification. Each Stylopage hadra genome was a metagenome, which was assembled and binned using multiple techniques to identify the target Zoopage genomes. We inferred phylogenies with both super matrix and coalescent approaches using 192 conserved Zoophagus insidians proteins mined from the target genomes and performed ancestral state reconstructions to determine the ancestral trophic lifestyle of the clade.
