Fungicide tolerant Bradyrhizobium japonicum mitigate toxicity and enhance greengram production under hexaconazole stress.

Bacterial strain RV9 recovered from greengram nodules tolerated 2400μg/mL of hexaconazole and was identified by 16S rDNA sequence analysis as Bradyrhizobium japonicum (KY940048). Strain RV9 produced IAA (61.6μg/mL), ACC deaminase (51.7mg/(protein·hr)), solubilized TCP (105μg/mL), secreted 337.6μg/mL EPS, and produced SA (52.2μg/mL) and 2,3-DHBA (28.3μg/mL). Exopolysaccharides produced by strain RV...

Inhibition of in vitro trichothecenes production by microalgae phenolic extracts.

There is evidence that microalgae phenolic compounds can inhibit the growth of toxigenic fungi. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of microalgae phenolic extracts to inhibit trichothecene production by Fusarium genus and thereby identify parameters that can promote a new technology to avoid contamination of crops by mycotoxins. The microalgae phenolic acids (Spirulina sp. and Nannochloropsis...
