Characterization of Paramyrothecium roridum isolated from soil

The fungus Paramyrothecium roridum (Tode) L. Lombard and Cross, previously known as Myrothecium roridum Tode ex Fries, belong to the family Stachybotriaceae and are species of Myrothecium distributed worldwide in soil and decaying plant tissues as saprophytic fungi or pathogens on diverse hosts. The morphology of the asexual morph, particularly the characteristics of conidia and conidiophores, was previously used to classify species in this genus because few features distinguish species within a genus, and morphology-based identification alone is inaccurate; consequently, DNA sequence data are useful for identifying species. Fungal isolation was identified according to morphological characteristics. In Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) culture, the olive-green conidia were 6-6.5 μm long × 2.3 μm wide, and cylindrical with rounded ends. Conidia formed dark green to black masses on sessile sporodochia in concentric zones, as well as identified based on a molecular approach using a polymerase chain reaction assay (PCR) of internal transcribed spacer (ITS1 5.8S ITS2) of the rDNA to confirm the Paramyrothecium roridum using primers (ITS1 and ITS4). The produced band size was 600 bp. The nucleotide sequences of the amplification products were analyzed, and the results confirmed the diagnosis of Paramyrothecium roridum. As a result, the isolate Paramyrothecium roridum was recorded as a JFF22 isolate in the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) for the first time in Iraq. © 2024, Society of Pathological Biochemistry and Hematology.

The aim of this research is to detect ways for reducing the negatively effect of using large quantities of chemical fertilizers, to get a contamination-free environment. The experiment was conducted at station farm in technical institute, NorthernىTechnical University, Mosul city, Iraq, in spring of 2018-2019 to study the effect of diluted foliar fertilizer (DFF) with magnetically treated water (MTW) at strength 4800 Gauss on morphological parameters of tomato plant such as (fresh weight, dry weight,dry matter percentage and total number of fruits), two kind of foliar fertilizer was used RNZ granular fertilizer, NPK 20-20-20 and NeuWeled®Series, NPK 20-20-20 the experimentwas designed according to Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with thirty observations for each treatment, each experimental unit contain ten plants. The results indicated that the first treatment (spraying tomato plants with diluted foliar fertilizer (1) with MTW) gave the best value in the means of fresh weight (gm) and did not differ significantly from the treatment 3 (spraying tomato plants with diluted foliar fertilizer (2) with MTW) according to Duncan’s test, while the treatment 3 record the highest mean value for dry weight (gm), dry matter percentage and total number of fruits which differ significantly from other treatments. Treatment 5 (Spraying tomato plants with ordinary water with out any additions) gave the lowest mean value for all studied parameters fresh weight, dry weight, dry matter percentage and total number of fruits.

The study was conducted to demonstrate the inhibitory activity of Yeast and Lactobacillus spp. Escherichia coli isolated from children's diarrhea Infection. Yeast isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated from dried date, Rhodotorulaglutinis was isolated from apple fruit. Pure cultures were prepared on Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA). Lactobacillus spp. were obtained from Lacteol fort Sachets. A yeast and Lactobacillus spp isolates have been prepared and its antibacterial activity against E. coli. Our Results show variable effectiveness were observed, Lactobacillus spp had the highest inhibitory activity against E. coli, while Yeast interaction that the highest Inhibitory activity from yeast signal against E. coli.In conclusion: the results of S. cerevisiae, Rh.glutinis and Lactobacillus spp isolates showed inhibitory activity against E. coli.

The objective of this study was examined and investigate the effect of Cordyceps sinensis Fungus on some physiological parameters of Mice Infected by Acrylamide for period 30 days. The results showed that administered orally of Cordyceps sinensis groups caused a significant increase (p<0.05) in Hb, Pcv, WBC, Total protein, albumin and globulin, while a significant decrease (p<0.05) in glucose, uric acid, urea, creatinine. Whereas, acrylamide group caused a significant increase (p<0.05) in glucose, uric acid, urea, creatinine, enzymes activity AST, ALT, ALP. Also Cordyceps sinensis+Acrylamide caused non-significant for all parameters compared with control group. Accordingly, the Cordyceps sinensis it's have a beneficial effects on the all parameters and the health of mice

Study on fungal contamination of IRAQI paper currency

The object of this project was to determine spread of fungal contamination of Iraqi paper currency in summer and winter. 60paper currency obtained from different occupational groups in Kirkuk, Iraq. The results showed that all collected samples were contaminated with one or more fungal species representing 100% contamination and none from the new (control) notes. The currency was processed for fungal isolation using the direct and streaking technique on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar. Isolated fungi in summer with its percentagewere Rhizopus stolonifer 33.6%, Aspergillus niger 26%, A. flavus 8.8%, Sacchromyces spp. 8.8%, Penicillium spp. 7.1%, Trichophyton spp. 4.2%, A. terrus 2.1%, Rhodotorula spp. 2.9%, Alternaria spp. 2.5%, Trichoderma spp. 2.1%, Stemphylium spp. 1.2%, Candida spp. 0.4%. While the Isolated fungi in winter with its percentage were Rhodotorula spp. 39.2%, Penicillium spp. 28.1%, Sacchromyces spp. 8.8%, Aspergillus niger 5.1%, Trichophyton spp. 3.7%, A. clavatus 2.9%, Stemphylium spp. 2.9%, Cladosporium sphaerosperum 4.4%, A. tamarii 2.2%, Alternaria spp. 1.4%, Drechslera spp. 0.7%. The higher denomination (5000, 10000 and 25000) IQD had the lower fungal contamination as compare with lower one (250, 500 and 1000) IQD while the paper currency of 1000 IQD were more contaminated from 250 and 500 IQD. The results showed that three fungal isolates achieve a high growth on CMC Czapek's agar medium. A fourteen A. flavus strains cultures were isolated from Iraqi paper currency as toxigenic or atoxigenic using coconut agar medium (CAM), it was strains confirmed that there were 4 only toxigenic and 10 atoxigenic. The toxigenic isolates were identified at molecular detection by using PCR technique, DNA of 4 strains have been extracted, and the target region ITS1 5.8S ITS2 has been amplified by using the common primers ITS1-ITS4, the PCR products were in size 595 bpthe results compatible with microscopic and morphologicalidentification.
