Dogs are animals that are most often kept as pets in the cities. Their health problem may be the cause of infections of humans and animals. Skin changes and etiology factors present important segment of the diseases that disturb health of the pets. The objective of this work was mycology examination of scarifications and skin swabs from dogs with clinical symptoms. The aim was to find out which fungi species can be isolated from the changed parts of the skin, and whether is possible that, besides dermatophyte, saprophyte fungi from the environment may also be the cause of the changes, and to reveal their effect on the host. During a one year period, 67 swabs and scarifications from dogs were examined to detect the presence of fungi. The samples were streaked on Sabourdaud's dextrose agar and incubated for 10-21 days at 25?C. In microscopis examination according to their shape, and color, the colonies were identified as conidia, macroconidia and conidiaophora. From 59, of total 67 samples, the following saprophyte fungi were isolated: Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Alternaria sp., Mucor sp. and Fusarium sp. Occurrence of these fungi means that a considerable increase of this microbiological flora may be expected in homes of the owners. This may be the cause of systemic mycosis and allergies in animals and humans, as well as a possibility of contaminated food and incidence of mycotoxicosis.

Mycological Examination

On the surface and inside the body of pets there is a large number of different microorganisms. Some of them are pathogens of humans, and infect both humans and animals, while the others present only an indirect threat for humans. Skin is a large organ that plays an important role. It is in a direct contact with the environment and presents a mean of transmission for the microorganisms that may be transferred to human beings living in the cities. The objective of this paper was to carry out mycological examination of hair from dogs with clinical symptoms of skin diseases. The aim was to determine saprophytic fungi on dog skin and determine how they influence humans. In a one-year period the presence of fungi was analyzed in 72 samples from dogs with skin changes and 32 samples from dogs without lesions. The samples were inoculated on Saburo dextrose agar and incubated at 25oC for 10-21 days. The grown colonies were characterized based on their shape and color, and under a light microcope conidia, macroconidium and conidiophore were identified. On the dogs with lesions, the presence of fungi ranged from 26.38% to 66.66%, but in the group of dogs without lesions fungi were present in 22% to 65.62%. The isolated fungi were identified as: Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Alternaria sp., Mucor sp. i Fusarium sp.

Este trabalho foi realizado para avaliar a ação de Trigona sp. como visitante floral e vetor de esporos fúngicos para goiabeira (Psidium guajava L.). As observações foram feitas entre dezembro de 2003 e fevereiro de 2004 em flores de goiabeiras do Setor de Ciências Biológicas, Universidade Federal do Paraná. Foi verificado que três gêneros de abelhas estavam visitando as flores de goiaba: Apis melifera, Bombus sp. e Trigona sp.. Entretanto, Trigona demonstrou ser mais freqüente que as outras durante as observações. A freqüência de visitas de Trigona foi maior durante o início da manhã, decrescendo ao longo do dia. A avaliação dos fungos associados a Trigona demonstrou a presença de 11 gêneros distintos: Acremonium sp., Altenaria sp., Aspergillus sp., Colletotrichum sp., Curvularia sp., Fonsecaea sp., Fusarium sp., Mycelia sterilia, Penicillium sp., Phoma sp. e Rhizopus sp.. 48 % destes representam fitopatógenos potenciais como Alternaria sp., Colletotrichum sp., Curvularia sp., Fusarium sp. e Phoma sp.. Estes dados demonstram que o gênero Trigona pode atuar na disseminação de doenças para diversas culturas, funcionando como vetor de esporos fúngicos para outras plantas.

The antimicrobial activity of vanillin against four bacteria (Pantoea agglomerans, Aeromonas enteropelogenes, Micrococcus lylae, and Sphingobacterium spiritovorun), four fungi (Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., and Fusarium sp.), and three unidentified yeasts isolated from spoiling fresh-cut mango slices was verified in laboratory media adjusted to pH 5.0. MICs of vanillin against the fungi (12.5 to 13.3 mM), bacteria (10 to 13.3 mM), and yeasts (5.0 to 6.7 mM) indicated that all the test species were sensitive to the antimicrobial effects of vanillin. Fresh-cut mango slices were dipped for 1 min in solutions containing 40 and 80 mM vanillin before being packaged in rigid trays and stored at 5 and 10°C to verify the effects of vanillin on the development of the spoilage microflora. Microbiological analysis for up to 14 days of storage revealed that treatment with 80 mM vanillin significantly delayed (P < 0.05) the development of total aerobic bacteria and yeast and mold populations. Vanillin may be a practical preservative for processing fresh-cut mango.

Permintaan yang tinggi terhadap komoditas Kedelai seiring dengan peningkatan konsumsi masyarakat pada produk-produk olahannya. Kenyataan tersebut tidak diimbangi dengan peningkatan produktivitas kedelai dalam negeri. Riniarsi (2016) melaporkan bahwa produktivitas kedelai tahun 2016 bahkan mengalami penurunan sebesar 3.95% dibandingkan tahun sebelumnya.  Faktor yang menyebabkan penurunan produksi kedelai salah satunya karena penyakit yang disebabkan oleh virus tanaman. Seiring dengan tren pengurangan bahan kimia sintetis pada praktik budidaya tanaman, aplikasi mikroba endofit indigenous menjadi solusi alternatif dalam pengendalian penyakit yang disebabkan oleh virus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman mikroba endofit indigenous pada berbagai bagian jaringan tanaman kedelai dan menguji virulensinya secara in vitro.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksplorasi. Hasil eksplorasi cendawan endofit indigenous berjumlah 11 isolat dan bakteri berjumlah 3 isolat. Cendawan endofit indigenous berhasil diisolasi dari seluruh jaringan tanaman, kecuali polong. Keragaman cendawan endofit indigenous tertinggi terdapat pada jaringan akar dan batang, yaitu masing-masing berjumlah 4 isolat. Identitas cendawan endofit indigenous yang berhasil diidentifikasi antara lain adalah Fusarium sp., Verticilllum sp., Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp., dan Penicillium sp. Adapun 6 isolat lainnya tidak dapat terindentifikasi. Bakteri endofit indigenous hanya terisolasi dari jaringan polong, akar, dan tanah. Seluruh bakteri merupakan golongan bakteri Gram negatif. Berdasarkan hasil Uji Hipovirulensi, terhadap 7 isolat cendawan endofit indigenous yang masuk dalam kategori hipovirulen dan 4 isolat lainnya bersifat virulen. Sedangkan semua isolat bakteri endofit indigenous yang diuji menunjukkan kategori virulen.

Microflora from potato rhizosphere soil was isolated from different potato fields of Bangladesh. Seventeen soil samples were analyzed for the presence of microflora in selected potato field soils. Seven fungal species and one bacterium species were morphologically characterized using soil dilution and streak plate methods. The predominant fungi isolated including Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Rhizopus sp., Bipolaris sp., Phytophthora sp., Fusarium sp. and one bacterium was identified as Ralstonia solanacearum. Individual colonies of fungi and bacteria were counted on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), V8 juice Agar and their presence in soil was compared in respect of different locations of potato fields. The occurrence of Phytophthora sp. was medium in Tongibari and lower in Singair Union, Sonargaon, Matlab Dakshin, Gobindaganj, Palashbari, Gopinathpur and Bagmara. The highest counts of R. solanacearum were found in Singair Union, Tongibari and Daudkandi and the lowest counts were made in Palashbari and Bagmara. This was the first reported examination of the microbial diversity of soil microflora in some selected potato fields of Bangladesh.

Abstract:Sunflower crops (Helianthus annuus L.) are a source of pathogens that can be transmitted by means of the seeds. An alternative for the treatment of seeds can be the application of an ozone compound, which has been used in various segments to eliminate microorganisms. Three lots of the Embrapa 122 variety have been used to assess the efficacy of ozone to control pathogens in sunflowers seeds. To typify the profile of the lots we have determined the moisture content, the first germination counting, the germination, the germination speed index, emergence, initial stand, emergence speed index and health. The lots have been stored in an ozone-rich environment for periods of 20, 60 and 120 minutes and without ozone (control). After the treatments, the seeds were tested to assess their health and physiological quality through the said tests as well as a test for accelerating aging, tetrazolium and incidence and severity of fungi. It has been concluded that the treatment for H. annuus seeds, Embrapa 122 variety, with ozone concentration of 1741 ppmv (0.24 g/h), for 60 minutes, reduces the fungal presence of Alternaria sp., Fusarium sp., Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. without affecting their physiological potential.
