Filtrates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae (Tucker) Gordon, Schlecht. and two isolates of F. solani (Mart.) Appel & Wr., grown in nutrient and potato dextrose broth, effected spore germination, linear growth in agar, and colony development in soil plates of these and other fungi. There was not enough sign of selectivity in these filtrates to warrant their use for selective isolation of fungi from soil.

Various agar media amended with antimicrobial agents were compared for the selective isolation of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici from sawdust used for growing greenhouse tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Potato dextrose agar amended with pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) (500 mg/l) and streptomycin sulphate (300 mg/l proved to be the most satisfactory medium, tested. These antimicrobial agents, unlike rose bengal, did not reduce the number of Fusarium colonies isolated.

An experiment was conducted at division of Plant Pathology, Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute, Durgapura, Jaipur (S.K.N.A.U, Jobner). In vitro studies were conducted to know the effect of different solid and liquid media, temperature and hydrogen-ion concentrations on sporulation and growth of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri. The fungus grew the best on Potato Dextrose Agar media (90.00 mm) after 7 days of incubation at 25 ± 1ºC and significantly superior in comparison to other media tested. Among the different liquid media tested, maximum dry mycelium weight was recorded in Potato Dextrose Broth (472.75 mg) superior to all other liquid media tested. The most suitable pH level and temperature for growth of fungus was 6.0 (90.00 mm) and growth of F. oxysporum was maximum at 300C.

Morchella sp. is one of the most expensive mushrooms with a high nutritional profile. In this study, the polysaccharide content of Morchella species was investigated. Specifically, mycelium growth rate, biomass production, sclerotia formation, and glucosamine and total polysaccharides content of six Morchella species grown on a starch-based media were evaluated. Submerged fermentations in potato dextrose broth resulted in a glucosamine content of around 3.0%. In solid-state fermentations (SSF), using potato dextrose agar, a high linear growth rate (20.6 mm/day) was determined. Increased glucosamine and total polysaccharides content were observed after the formation of sclerotia. Biomass and glucosamine content were correlated, and the equations were used for the indirect estimation of biomass in SSF with agro-industrial starch-based materials. Wheat grains (WG), potato peels (PP), and a mixture of 1:1 of them (WG–PP) were evaluated as substrates. Results showed that the highest growth rate of 9.05 mm/day was determined on WG and the maximum biomass yield (407 mg/g) on WG–PP. The total polysaccharide content reached up to 18.4% of dried biomass in WG–PP. The results of the present study proved encouraging for the efficient bioconversion of potato and other starch-based agro-industrial waste streams to morel biomass and sclerotia eliciting nutritional and bioactive value.

The effects of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. apii on celery seed germination were investigated with the hope of developing a germ-plasm screening procedure with seeds. Seeds of celery lines known to exhibit a range of disease responses to the pathogen as whole plants were inoculated with two different virulence types and in two ways: (1) spore–mycelial suspensions in potato dextrose broth (PDB), and (2) spore–mycelial suspensions in sterile H2O. Inoculum in PDB retarded germination in all celery lines and the relative degree of this retardation was congruent with virulence of the pathogen and, in general, relative retardation of germination was also in agreement with whole-plant disease response. Inoculum in H2O stimulated germination and the degree of stimulation also appeared related to degree of whole-plant disease response. Extracts from disease lesions incited by F. oxysporum f. sp. apii on celery exerted a dose-dependent inhibition of germination but filtrates from 14-day-old cultures in PDB had no significant effect.

Ajoene, a compound derived from garlic (Allium sativum L.), inhibited spore germination of some fungi, namely, Alternaria solani, Alternaria tenuissima, Alternaria triticina, Alternaria sp., Colletotrichum sp., Curvularia sp., Fusarium lini, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium semitectum, and Fusarium udum, which cause serious diseases in some important crop plants in India. The compound was very effective in checking spore germination at a concentration of 25 μg/mL in some of the above fungi and, in most cases, there was 100% inhibition of germination at 100 μg/mL. It is quite likely that the compound may be useful in controlling disease(s) under field conditions.
