Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Rice Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) by use of Streptomyces sindeneusis isolate 263 in GreenhouseM. Ebrahimi Zarandi, G.H. Shahidi Bonjar, F. Padasht Dehkaei et al.Soil Actinomycetes particularly Streptomyces spp. have antagonistic activity against wide range of plant pathogens. In the recent decades they have attracted high interests as biocontrol agents. In search for finding such principles, in vitro suppression of Magnaporthe oryzae the causal agent of rice blast disease was studied by use of Streptomyces sindeneusis isolate 263 in greenhouse. Spray of rice seedling-leaves … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 11,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Causal Agent of Sunflower Head and Stem Rot Disease, by Use of Soil borne Actinomycetes IsolatesF. Baniasadi, G. H. Shahidi Bonjar, A. Baghizadeh et al.Problem statement: High level of biosafety and non adverse effects on the environment of biocontrol strategies of pest management, are priorities of tomorrow's world agriculture. Actinomycetes are active biocontrol agents due to their antagonistic properties against wide range of plant pathogens particularly fungi. Fungal pathogens are liable for a big part of damages in agriculture economy. Approach: In the present … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 11,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis, the Causal Agent of Root Rot Disease of Greenhouse Cucurbits in Kerman Province of IranSara Shafii Bafti, Gholam H.S. Bonjar, Sonia Aghighi et al.Antagonistic activity of 178 soil actinomycete isolates was assayed against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis Schlecht, Emend (Snyde and Hansen) cause of root rot and fusarium wilt of greenhouse cucurbits in Kerman Province, southeast of Iran. From tested isolates, Streptomyces olivaceus (strain 115) showed anti-fusarium activity revealed through screening and bioassays by agar disk and well-diffusion methods. The active strain … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimization of Biochar Quality from Palm and Cacao Waste through Variation of Pyrolysis Temperature and Duration as a Soil Amendment MaterialIwan Saputra, Sugeng Prijono et al.Palm and cacao waste are high-quality raw materials for producing quality biochar that enhances soil fertility, provided that the biochar production process takes into account various aspects of pyrolysis. The pyrolysis conditions, such as temperature and duration, significantly impact the quality of the biochar produced as a soil amendment. The type of raw material, pyrolysis temperature, duration, and other conditions … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 27 Jul 2024 · 5,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCharacterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infecting Bacteriophages from Swiftlet House Pond Water and Sewage in South Kalimantan, IndonesiaSiti Gusti Ningrum, Dyah Widhowati, Titin Yulinery et al.Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium that may occur in animal-production environments and contribute to microbial contamination of animal-derived products. However, information on P. aeruginosa-infecting bacteriophages in artificial swiftlet-house environments remains limited. This study aimed to isolate and evaluate P. aeruginosa-infecting bacteriophages from the swiftlet-house environment in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. A total of 75 samples involving pond waters (n = … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2026 · 55 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIsolation and Characterization of Phosphate Solubilizing Activity of Endophytic Fungi from Zingiberaceous SpeciesErman Munir, Yurnaliza, Anisa Lutfia, Adrian HartantoPhosphorus (P), which is one of the less available soil macronutrients, is important for plant growth and metabolism. A promising strategy to increase the P uptake by plants is by introducing Phosphate-Solubilizing Microorganisms (PSM) into the P-deficient regions, to convert P into soluble forms through organic acids secreted by the PSMs. The aim of this study was to characterize the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2022 · 6,651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCharacterization of Household Wastes in D.R. Congo, a Case Study of LubumbashiMartin T. Mpinda, Sissou Zakari, Olusegun K. Abass et al.The insufficient supervision of household solid waste is a notorious problem in DR. Congo cities. Besides, solid waste management in Lubumbashi has been very rudimentary and unsystematic. This study aims to quantify and characterize the household solid waste in two Lubumbashi municipalities. For more than 50 years after independence from colonialism, the city trailed direct discharge of waste on exposed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 10 Jun 2017 · 8,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFUNGAL LEACHING OF IRON ORE: ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLEACHING STUDIES OF PENICILLIUM VERRUCULOSUMNeha Chaudhary, Trina Banerjee, Neha Ibrahim, G. SibiPyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical technologies for recovery of metals from low grade ores require high energy and capital costs. Use of microorganisms in leaching of mineral ores is gaining importance due to the implementation of stricter environmental rules. Microbes convert metal compounds into their water soluble forms and are biocatalysts of leaching processes. This study was performed to isolate and characterize … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2014 · 7,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Groundwater Resources of the Morainic Amphitheatre: A Case Study in PiedmontMassimo Vincenzo Civita, Marina De Maio, Adriano FiorucciProblem statement: The risk of groundwater pollution and preservation of groundwater quality of these resources are extremely important topics, particularly at the present time in which water is becoming a limitative factor for land development. In this context the main objective of this study was the evaluation of the pollution vulnerability of groundwater in the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre (IMA), situated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
