Abstract : Pythium oligandrum Drechsler was isolated from surface soil of agriculture field cultivated with vegetable and fruits trees in Ras-Trab, AlGabal Al-Khdar region in the north eastern of Libya. Identification of this fungal was confirmed by both of vegetative (mycelium) and productive structures produced on Corne meal agar media (CMA) incubated at constant temperature (25ºC) for one week period, fast grown, very thin comprises, hyphae due to the evanescent, hardly visible, the optimal growth of P. oligandrum on potato carrot agar (PCA) 63.5mm/day, Glucose Asparagin agar (GAM) 47.6 mm/day. Oogonia production after one week incubation, oogonia terminal or intercalary, subglobose, 27.42 ±5.10 µm conical, pointed projections 3-7µm long; oospores somewhat aplerotic 14.48±2.13µm diam, was observed under light microscopic and measured by with digital camera type Olympus cX21fs1.

The genus Pythium in mainland China HO Hon-Hing* Department of Biology, State University of New York, New Paltz, New York 12561, USA Abstract: A historical review of studies on the genus Pythium in mainland China was conducted, covering the occurrence, distribution, taxonomy, pathogenicity, plant disease control and its utilization. To date, 64 species of Pythium have been reported and 13 were described as new to the world: P. acrogynum, P. amasculinum, P. b ai sen se , P. boreale, P. breve, P. connatum, P. falciforme, P. guiyangense, P. guangxiense, P. hypoandrum, P. kummingense, P. nanningense and P. sinensis. The dominant species is P. aphanidermatum causing serious damping off and rotting of roots, stems, leaves and fruits of a wide variety of plants throughout the country. Most of the Pythium species are pathogenic with 44 species parasitic on plants, one on the red alga, Porphyra: P. porphyrae, two on mosquito larvae: P. carolinianum and P. guiyangense and two mycoparasitic: P. nunn and P. oligandrum. In comparison, 48 and 28 species have been reported, respectively, from Taiwan and Hainan Island with one new species described in Taiwan: P. sukuiense. The prospect of future study on the genus Pythium in mainland China was discussed.

Many species of Phytophthora are destructive pathogens of especially dicotyledonous woody trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants whereas Pythium species attacked primarily monocotyledonous herbaceous plants, whereas some cause diseases in fishes, red algae and mammals including humans. However, several mycoparasitic and entomopathogenic species of Pythium have been utilized respectively, to successfully control other plant pathogenic fungi and harmful insects including mosquitoes while the others utilized to produce valuable chemicals for pharmacy and food industry.

    R-04 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE COMPOSITION OF RHIZOSPHERE MICROORGANISMS OF PEA (Pisum sativum. L) AFTER APPLYING BIOPREPARATIONS Alina Pastucha, Elżbieta Patkowska, Danuta Pięta Department of Plant Pathology, University of Agriculture in Lublin, ul. Kr. Leszczyńskiego 7, 20-069 Lublin, Poland e-mail: [email protected] 1. Introduction Progress which has taken place in the last decade in the sphere of research on the use of biopreparations, antagonistic microorganisms, composts and plant extracts in controlling soil pathogens is especially significant. Compounds of plant and animal origin which are secondary metabolites play an increasing role both in the prophylaxis and direct control of plant pathogens. These compounds include phenols, polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins, occurring in a free or bound form. They occur for example in such biopreparations as Bio- chikol 020 PC, Biosept 33 SL, whereas Polyversum contains oospores of antagonistic fungu Pythium oligandrum Polyversum [1, 2]. Biopreparations Polyversum, Biochikol 020 PC, Biosept 33 SL, used as dressing for papili- onaceous plants, or as foliar application inhibited the development of pathogens [3 - 6]. In literature there is no information concerning the effect of biopreparations on the com- position of microorganism communities in the soil environment. Hence, the purpose of the present studies was to determine the effect of Polyversum, Biochikol 020 PC and Biosept 33 SL on the quantitative and qualitative composition of bacteria and fungi in the Rhizo- sphere soil of pea. 2. Material and methods Field studies were conducted in the area of the Experimental Station at Czesławice near Nałęczów in the years 2005-2006. The object of the studies was the rhizosphere soil of pea cv.

Still, the relationship between 21 phenotypiC innovations in the Cytoskeleton and their underlying genotype is poorly understood. 22 To explore the genetiC meChanism of morphologiCal evolution of the eukaryotiC Cytoskeleton we 23 provide the first single Cell transCriptomes from unCultivable, free-living uniCellular eukaryotes: the 24 radiolarian speCies Lithomelissa setosa and Sticholonche zanclea.

  • Exploitation of the Mycoparasitic Fungus Pythium Oligandrum in Plant Protection
    Plant Protection Science – 2002 Vol. 38, No. 1: 29–35 REVIEW Exploitation of the Mycoparasitic Fungus Pythium oligandrum in Plant Protection JANA BROOVÁ Research Institute of Crop Production Division of Plant Medicine, Prague-Ruzynì, Czech Republic Abstract BROOVÁ J. (2002): Exploitation of the mycoparasitic fungus Pythium oligandrum in plant protection. Plant Protect. Sci., 38: 2935. Pythium oligandrum Drechs. belongs to the order Oomycetes. It is parasitic on many fungi from the same or other orders. The antagonism of P. oligandrum is a multifaceted process dependent on the target species involved. P. oligandrum is nonpathogenic on 12 species of crops from six families. It does not attack their tissue but occurs on the root surface, predominantly in the regions of hypocotyl – taproot, together with plant pathogenic fungi. It utilises the root exudates and fungus hyphae on the root surface, including those of the plant pathogens, for its own support. A growth stimulation of plants was observed. P. oligandrum can be utilised for biological control on a wide spectrum of crop plants. Different methods of application have been developed. The effect of a mycoparasite preparation is more preventive.
