(1993). Two new species of Entomophthoraceae (Zygomycetes, Entomophthorales) linking the genera Entomophaga and Eryniopsis. - Sydowia 45 (2): 264-274. Two new species of the genus Eryniopsis from nematoceran Diptera are descri- bed; E. ptychopterae from Ptychoptera contaminala and E. transitans from Limonia tripunctata. Both produce primary conidia and two types of secondary conidia. The primary conidia of E. ptychopterae are 36-39 x 23-26 urn and those of E. transitans 32-43 x 22-29 um. The two species are very similar but differ mainly in the shape of the conidia and number of nuclei they contain. Both species closely resemble mem- bers of the Entomophaga grilly group and probably form the missing link between Eryniopsis and Entomophaga. Keywords: Insect pathogenic fungi, taxonomy, Diptera, Limoniidae, Ptychop- teridae. The Entomophthoraceae consists of mostly insect pathogenic fun- gi whose taxonomy has not been lully resolved. One controversial genus is Eryniopsis which is characterized by unitunicate, plurinucleate and elongate primary conidia usually produced on un- branched conidiophores and discharged by papillar eversion (Hum- ber, 1984).

  • A Computer Model of the Gypsy Moth and Its Fungal Pathogen 5
    Abstract A one-host generation computer model, with a time-step of 1 day, has been developed to simulate the interaction between the very effective fungal pathogen, Entomophaga maimaiga, and its host, the gypsy moth. This publication describes the structure of the validated model, the kinds of model inputs needed and the outputs produced, and gives examples of model results. The model can be used to construct scenarios of future gypsy moth-fungus interactions and to evaluate the effectiveness of the fungus as a biological control agent. A Computer Model of the Gyl--, Moth and its Fungal Pathogen By Ronald M. Weseloh The gypsy moth fungal pathogen, Entomophaga rroper weather conditions are very impoftant for the maimaiga, was first found to be established in North fungus to be effective.

Since 1989, the fungus has significantly suppressed number of resting spores in the soil (resting spore load) and the gypsy moth in the generally infested areas of North the number of gypsy moths available for infection probably America. Numerous scenarios have been proposed for how it also influence hngus activity.

Veteran, Malang 65145, Indonesia. * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The glyphosate herbicide is the most common herbicides used in palm-oil plantations and other agricultural in Indonesial. In 2020, Indonesian government to plan the development of oil palm plantations has reached 20 million hectares of which now have reached 6 million hectares. It means that a huge chemicals particularly glyphosate has been poured into the ground and continues to pollute the soil. However, there is no report regarding biodegradation of glyphosate-contaminated soils using fungal strain especially in Indonesia. This study was to observe the usage of Round Up as selection agent for isolation of soil-born fungi capable to grow on glyphosate as a sole source of phosphorus. Five fungal strains were able to grow consistently in the presence of glyphosate as the sole phosphorus source and identified as Aspergillus sp. strain KRP1, Fusarium sp. strain KRP2, Verticillium sp. strain KRP3, Acremoniumsp. strain GRP1 and Scopulariopsis sp. strain GRP2. This indicates as their capability to utilize and degrade this herbicide. We also used standard medium as control and get seventeen fungal strains.

The parameters analysed were moisture, protein, ash, fat and fibre, with the respective of 10.00±0.21,18.00±0.05, 3.40±0.00, 44.75±0.22 and 7.40±0.51 %. The carbohydrate content obtained was16.44±0.27 %, while the energy value was 2241.23±0.52 KJ/100g. The sample analysed included reasonable amounts of sodium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and calcium. Anti-nutritional analysis revealed the presence of oxalate, phytate, saponins, alkaloids and cyanide within the permissible limits. The compositions of the essential and non-essential amino acids obtained from the sample were 19.55 and 33.81 g/100 g proteins, respectively. African pear pulp could therefore serve as an additional promising source of nutritional content for human and animal feed formulations.
