Inibição do crescimento micelial de Sclerotinia sclerotiorum por filtrados de Trichoderma sp. e Clonostachys rosea.

Uma alternativa para controle do mofo-branco do feijão (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Ss) é o uso de agentes de controle biológico (ACB). Trichoderma sp. (Tr) e Clonostachys rosea (Cr) podem competir, parasitar e produzir metabólitos tóxicos contra fitopatógenos. Avaliou-se a capacidade de três isolados de Tr e um de Cr, previamente selecionados para o controle de Ss, em produzir metabólitos tóxicos contra o patógeno. Os ACB foram crescidos em caldo batata dextrose sob agitação (100 rpm) por sete dias. Após, o caldo foi filtrado a vácuo (membrana bacteriológica 0,22µm) e adicionou-se uma alíquota (2 ml) do filtrado ou de ADE (testemunha) a BDA fundente em placas de Petri. Após o resfriamento, adicionou-se no centro da placa um disco de micélio de Ss. As placas (cinco repetições/tratamento) foram incubadas a 20˚C ou 25˚C. Diariamente mediu-se o diâmetro das colônias até a testemunha atingir as bordas da placa. A 25˚C verificou-se significativa redução (Tukey, 5%) do crescimento micelial de Ss pelos filtrados dos três isolados de Tr (72 a 79%) e por Cr (50%). A 20ºC, apenas dois isolados de Tr inibiram Ss (45 a 65%). Os resultados indicam que os ACB podem atuar por antibiose, porém a eficiência é influenciada pelo ambiente.

Eutrofização do reservatório Engenheiro Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves, no Rio Grande do Norte: implicações para o abastecimento público e para a piscicultura intensiva em tanques-rede

This study aimed to describe the spatial and temporal patterns of variation in trophic state and its relation with the structure and dynamics of planktonic community of a large reservoir located in semi-arid tropical region of Northeast Brazil. The reservoir Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves is the biggest reservoir of the Rio Grande do Norte State and is responsible for about 53% of all surface water accumulated in the State. The samples of water and plankton were taken monthly in 10 points distributed throughout the longitudinal axis of the reservoir and over a full hydrological cycle. The samples were collected to determine concentrations of total phosphorus, total nitrogen, chlorophyll a and suspended solids (fixed and volatile) and for determining the composition and abundance of phytoplanktonic and zooplanktonic species. During the study period, the reservoir was characterized as eutrophic and there was no trend of increasing the trophic state of the reservoir in the period of drought. The concentrations of total phosphorus and suspended fixed solids decreased towards the dam while the N:P ratios increased in the same direction due to the reduction in the phosphorus concentrations and relative constancy in the nitrogen concentrations. The N:P ratios observed were indicative of greater limitation by phosphorus than by nitrogen. However, as concentrations of both nutrients were high and the water transparency was very low, with secchi depth usually lower than one meter, it seems likely that the planktonic primary production of the reservoir is more limited by the availability of light than the availability of nutrients. High nutrient concentrations coupled with low availability of light may explain the continuing dominance of filamentous cyanobacteria such as Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii in the plankton of the reservoir.These cyanobacteria are potentially toxic and pose a serious environmental problem because it compromises the water quality for public supply, recreation and fishing when present in high densities as in this study. The mesozooplankton of the reservoir was dominated by the calanoid Notodiaptomus cearensis and the cladoceran Diaphanosoma spinulosum. In general, the structure of zooplankton community seems to be particularly influenced by the spatial variation of cyanobacteria. The results of the regression analyses show that both the chlorophyll a concentrations and the cyanobacteria biovolume were more strongly correlated with the nitrogen than with phosphorus and that the water transparency was more strongly correlated with algal biomass than with other sources of turbidity. The maximum load of phosphorus to attain the maximum permissible concentration of total P in the reservoir was estimated in 63.2 tonnes P/ year. The current external P load to the reservoir is estimated in 324 tonnes P / year and must be severely reduced to improve the water quality for water supply and allow the implementation of aquaculture projects that could contribute to the socio-economic development of the region

Efeitos da tilápia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) e do enriquecimento por nutrientes sobre a comunidade planctônica em um lago artificial no semi-árido brasileiro

The major aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the introduction of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and the enrichment with nutrients (N and P) interact synergistically to change the structure of plankton communities, increase phytoplankton biomass and decrease water transparency of a semi-arid tropical reservoir. One field experiment was performed during five weeks in twenty enclosures (8m3) to where four treatments were randomly allocated: with tilapia addition (T), with nutrients addition (NP), with tilapia and nutrients addition (T+NP) and a control treatment with no tilapia or nutrients addition (C). A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was done to test for time (t), tilapia (T) and nutrient (NP) effects and their interaction on water transparency, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, phytoplankton and zooplankton. The results show that there was no effect of nutrient addition on these variables but significant fish effects on the biomass of total zooplankton, nauplii, rotifers, cladocerans and calanoid copepods, on the biovolume of Bacillariophyta, Zygnemaphyceae and large algae (GALD ≥ 50 μm) and on Secchi depth. In addition, we found significant interaction effects between tilapia and nutrients on Secchi depth and rotifers. Overall, tilapia decreased the biomass of most zooplankton taxa and large algae (diatoms) and decreased the water transparency while nutrient enrichment increased the biomass of zooplankton (rotifers) but only in the absence of tilapia. In conclusion, the influence of fish on the reservoir plankton community and water transparency was greater than that of nutrient loading. This finding suggests that biomanipulation should be a greater priority in the restoration of eutrophic reservoirs in tropical semi-arid regions

Efeitos de manipulações ascendentes e descendentes sobre a comunidade fitoplanctônica em um reservatório eutrófico no semi-árido brasileiro

Top-down (grazing) and bottom-up (nutrient, light) controls are important in freshwater ecosystems regulation. Relative importance of these factors could change in space and time, but in tropical lakes bottom-up regulation has to been appointed as more influent. Present study aimed to test the hypothesis that phytoplankton growths rate in Armando Ribeiro reservoir, a huge eutrophic reservoir in semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte state, is more limited by nutrient available then zooplankton grazing pressure. Bioassay was conduced monthly from September (2008) to August (2009) manipulating two levels of nutrients (with/without addition) and two level of grazers (with/without removal). Experimental design was factorial 2X2 with four treatments (X5), (i) control with water and zooplankton from natural spot ( C ), (ii) with nutrient addition ( +NP ), (iii) with zooplankton remove ( -Z ) and (iv) with zooplankton remove and nutrient addition ( -Z+NP ). For bioassay confection transparent plastic bottles (500ml) was incubate for 4 or 5 days in two different depths, Secchi`s depth (high luminosity) and 3 times Secchi`s depth (low luminosity). Water samples were collected from each bottle in begins and after incubates period for chlorophyll a concentration analysis and zoopalnktonic organisms density. Phytoplankton growths rates were calculated. Bifactorial ANOVA was performance to test if had a significant effect (p<0,005) of nutrient addition and grazers remove as well a significant interaction between factors on phytoplankton growths rates. Effect magnitude was calculated the relative importance of each process. Results show that phytoplankton growth was in generally stimulated by nutrient addition, as while zooplankton remove rarely stimulated phytoplankton growth. Some significant interactions happening between nutrient additions and grazers remove on phytoplankton growth. In conclusion this study suggests that in studied reservoir phytoplankton growth is more controlled by ascendent factors than descendent

Ecologia do fitoplâncton em áreas de cultivo de Tilápia do Nilo, Oreochromis niloticus, em tanques-rede no açude Ministro João Alves, Parelhas, Rio Grande do Norte

The dams are limnic ecosystems of great importance for its multiple uses, among them, water supply for the public and to culture of artisanal fish are most relevant. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the physical-chemical characteristics and the phytoplankton community in two chosen sites (Point 1 littoral zone of point source; Point 2 pelagic zone of non-point source) of the Minister João Alves dam, which is also known as Boqueirão de Parelhas/RN. This represents the spatial distribution of the phytoplankton species in order to understand any possible alterations of the water quality and the phytoplankton composition in relation to the water quality originating from the impact of the tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, culture. The study period also encompasses temporal variations exhibited in two seasons of an annual cycle, one during the dry season (Oct, Nov and Dec of 2008 and Jan of 2009), and the other rainy season (Mar, Apr, May and June of 2008) to extend the observation. The physicalchemical parameters, such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, concentration of dissolved oxygen were measured in situ and the values of the inorganic nutrients (nitrate, ammonium and orto-phosfato) and chlorophyll in the laboratory. The quali-quantitative analyses of the phytoplankton had been carried through sedimentation technique and the enumeration of the random of 400 cells, colonies and filaments counted using Sedgwick-Rafter counting chamber. The results of pH varied widely from the acidic to alkaline range with the minimum of 5.8 (± 0.8) and the maximum of 9.2 (± 0.7-0.8), at point 1 and 2. The dissolved oxygen content was higher in the rainy period than that in the dry period. The maximum electrical conductivity was of 1409 μScm-1 in point 1 and 431 minim of μScm-1, in point 2. There was a considerable alteration in the levels of inorganic nutrients such as nitrate-nitrogen, ammoniacal nitrogen and orthophosphate during the two cycles of study period. Phytoplankton assemblages presented a picture of alternate dominance among species Cyanobacteria, Bacillariophyceae and Chlorophyceae. The trophic state index diagnosed to the category of mesotrophic, which is based on the values of chlorophyll, total phosphorus and Secchi-disc measurements. The wind driven turbulence of the water column and the fresh inflow of water (flushing and dilution) during rainy season acted as constraint and did-not allow an exaggerated growth of the species of cyanobacteria. On the basis of the present we conclude that the culture of tilapias in cage-culture fails to produce pollution load that could compromise the quality of the water of the dam, probably be due to small dimension of the culture in relation to the size, volume of the water and the reservoir capacity support its own environment

Avaliação do potencial de formigas (Hymenoptera: formicidae) como vetores mecânicos de bactérias do gêneroSstaphylococcus no ambiente hospitalar.

In a hospital environment, these bacteria can be spread by insects such as ants, which are characterized by high adaptability to the urban environment. Staphylococcus is a leading cause of hospital infection. In Europe, Latin America, USA and Canada, the group of coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) is the second leading cause of these infections, according to SENTRY (antimicrobial surveillance program- EUA). In this study, we investigated the potential of ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) as vehicle mechanics of Staphylococcus bacteria in a public hospital, in Natal-RN. The ants were collected, day and night, from June 2007 to may 2008, in the following sectors: hospitals, laundry, kitchen, blood bank. The ants were identified according to the identification key of Bolton, 1997. For the analysis of staphylococci, the ants were incubated in broth Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) for 24 hours at 35 º C and then incubated on Mannitol Salt Agar. The typical colonies of staphylococci incubated for 24 hours at 35 ° C in Tryptic Soy Agar for the characterization tests (Gram stain, catalase, susceptibility to bacitracin and free coagulase). The identification of CoNS was performed through biochemical tests: susceptibility to novobiocin, growth under anaerobic conditions, presence of urease, the ornithine decarboxylation and acid production from the sugars mannose, maltose, trehalose, mannitol and xylose. The antimicrobial susceptibility examined by disk-diffusion technique. The technique of Polymerase Chain Reaction was used to confirm the presence of mecA gene and the ability to produce biofilm was verified by testing in vitro using polystyrene inert surface, in samples of resistant staphylococci. Among 440 ants, 85 (19.1%) were carrying coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) of the species Staphylococcus saprophyticus (17), Staphylococcus epidermidis (15), Staphylococcus xylosus (13), Staphylococcus hominis hominis (10), Staphylococcus lugdunensis (10), Staphylococcus warneri (6), Staphylococcus cohnii urealyticum (5), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (3), Staphylococcus simulans (3), Staphylococcus cohnii cohnii (2), and Staphylococcus capitis (1). No Staphylococcus aureus was found. Among the isolates, 30.58% showed resistance to erythromycin. Two samples of CoNS (2.35%), obtained from the ant Tapinoma melanocephalum collected in the post-surgical female ward, S. Hominis hominis and S. lugdunensis harbored the mecA gene and were resistant to multiple antibiotics, and the specie S. hominis hominis even showed to be a biofilm producer. This study proves that ants act as carriers of multidrug-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci and biofilm producers and points to the risk of the spreading of pathogenic microorganisms by this insect in the hospital environment

A recuperação da energia térmica do escape afigura-se como uma vertente com importância relevante para o aumento da eficiência energética dos motores de combustão interna, tendo benefícios em termos económicos e ambientais. O presente trabalho centra-se no estudo e dimensionamento do condensador a integrar num sistema de ciclo de Rankine, tendo-se optado pela seleção de um permutador de placas do tipo “chevron”. O permutador para efeitos de cálculo é dividido em três zonas distintas: i) pré-arrefecedor; ii) condensador e iii) sub-arrefecedor. O presente estudo apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica alargada para o coeficiente de transferência de calor por convecção e perda de carga associada ao escoamento. Para cada zona do permutador são utilizados três fluidos de trabalho distintos: água, etanol e R245fa. Para o fluido refrigerante considerou-se água. Tendo em conta a revisão bibliográfica efetuada, foram implementados modelos para a perda de carga e para a transferência de calor no permutador, atendendo à seleção do fluido de trabalho e ao fluido refrigerante. Os resultados obtidos permitiram verificar que a utilização do fluido de trabalho água, conduz a um condensador mais compacto. Por último é efetuada a otimização do sistema, mediante alteração da temperatura de funcionamento do permutador. Os resultados permitiram verificar a diminuição da temperatura de saída do fluido refrigerante possibilita: i) uma redução do volume do permutador; ii) uma diminuição da perda de carga associada.

Patologías lumbares: determinación de los factores ocupacionales y carga prestacional en una entidad promotora de salud en Bogotá

Resumen: Introducción El dolor lumbar es un trastorno músculo esquelético que afecta la parte baja de la espalda, considerado como un problema de salud pública y catalogado como un desastre en el sitio de trabajo, se encuentra en las 10 primeras causas de enfermedad profesional reportadas por las entidades prestadoras de servicios de salud, generando ausentismo y discapacidad laboral en los países industrializados, con costos que oscilan de los 20 mil a los 98 millones de dólares en los Estados Unidos. Objetivo Determinar la prevalencia de patologías lumbares calificadas y sus factores ocupacionales asociados en una entidad promotora de salud de Bogotá Colombia durante 2013 al 2014. Metodología Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal con datos secundarios pertenecientes a 318 pacientes de una entidad promotora de salud en la ciudad de Bogotá que fueron diagnosticados con patologías lumbares (lumbalgia-lumbago, discopatía lumbar, trastorno de disco intervertebral, espondilolistesis, espondilólisis, hernia discal), y remitidos a medicina laboral o solicitaron calificación de origen en primera oportunidad, en el periodo comprendido entre el año 2013 al 2014. Las variables incluidas fueron sociodemográficas, ocupacionales y diagnósticos médicos, específicamente patologías lumbares. Se realizó distribuciones de frecuencias, medidas de tendencia central y dispersión, análisis de asociación mediante la prueba Chi cuadrado de Pearson y un análisis multivariado a través del modelo de regresión binaria logística y el análisis de concordancia usando el índice de Kappa. Para las pruebas se utilizó un nivel de significación de 0,05. Se digitó y depuró en SPSS versión 23. Resultado El total de usuarios diagnosticados con patologías lumbares fue de 318 de los cuales el 57,2% fueron de sexo masculino con edad promedio de 43 años (D.E 7,9 años). Se encontró asociación significativa entre lumbalgia y movimientos de columna lumbar y levantamiento de carga (p<0,05); discopatía lumbar y movimientos de columna lumbar y factores multicausales (p<0,05); trastorno de disco intervertebral y factores multicausales (p<0.05), hernia de disco y levantamiento de cargas (p<0,05). Respecto a espondilolistesis y espondilólisis no se encontró asociación con ningún factor de riesgo, pero si se encontró asociación significativa entre origen y movimientos de columna lumbar (p= 0.010), con postura mantenida (p= 0.014), con causas multifactoriales (p= 0.000). El grado de concordancia entre la entidad promotora de salud y la administradora de riesgos laborales arrojó un valor en el índice de kappa de 0.432 (p= 0.000) correspondiendo a un grado de acuerdo moderado; para la concordancia entre la entidad promotora de salud y la junta de calificación el índice de kappa fue de 0.680 (p= 0.000) grado de acuerdo alto. Conclusión Las patologías lumbares tienen un alta prevalencia en la población trabajadora como en la no trabajadora, encontrándose un gran número de factores condicionantes a estas enfermedades generando altos costos en días perdidos laborales y en días de incapacidad: Por lo tanto, es importante determinar si estas son catalogadas de origen común o de origen laboral, para establecer programas de vigilancia epidemiológica y programas preventivos.

Caracteres morfo-agronômicos e bioquímicos de clones elite de mandioca de mesa com raízes de polpas amarelada e rosada.

A mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) é considerada uma espécie relevante como fonte alimentícia para a população mundial, principalmente para os países subdesenvolvidos e emergentes. A mandioca é fornecedora de energia a partir do amido acumulado em suas raízes de reserva, mas é também importante destacar a presença dos carotenóides com atividade antioxidante. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar, por meio de descritores morfológicos, agronômicos e bioquímicos, clones elite de mandioca de mesa de polpa aparelhada e rosada do programa de melhoramento genético de mandioca da Embrapa Cerrados. Foram caracterizados durante duas safras, 13 clones de mandioca de mesa com polpa amarelada e 8 clones com polpa rosada, em comparação com a variedade testemunha IAC 576-70 (BGMC 753). Para avaliar as características morfológicas foram obtidos 40 descritores qualitativos para cada clone. Tanto nos clones de polpas amarelada quanto naqueles de raízes de polpas rosada, houve diferenças morfológicas, demostrando que nenhum clone apresentou 100% de similaridade. O fator ano/safra não influenciou a expressão fenotípica dos caracteres aferidos. Com base no coeficiente cofenético, verificou-se elevado ajuste entre a representação gráfica via dendrograma de r = 0,80 nas raízes de polpa amarelada e r = 0,92 na rosada e a matriz de dissimilaridade genética. Entre os caracteres aferidos, os que apresentaram maior entropia nas raízes amarelada foram, a coloração da epiderme externa, forma do lóbulo central da folha e cor do córtex da raiz, ao passo que na rosada foi à cor do disco, forma do lóbulo central e cor do pecíolo. Foi realizada também a caracterização com base na altura da planta, altura da primeira ramificação, peso da parte aérea sem a cepa, produtividade em raízes, índices de amido nas raízes determinados por meio do método da balança hidrostática, tempo para a cocção e teor de ácido cianídrico nas raízes. Com base nos caracteres avaliados, os clones que se destacaram com polpa amarelada e rosada respectivamente, no caractere altura da primeira ramificação (273/08 e 259/08) e (390/08, 345/08 e a testemunha IAC 576-70), altura da planta (90/08, 272/08, 273/08, 497/08, 259/08 e 450/08) e (390/08, 345/08 e 378/08), peso da parte aérea sem a cepa (94/08 e 272/08) e (390/08, 406/08, 390/08, 378/08 e 341/08), porcentagem de amido nas raízes (26/08, 272/08, 259/08 e 450/08) e (378/08, 413/08, 390/08 e a testemunha IAC 576-70), produtividade de raízes (215/08) e (testemunha IAC 576-70, 341/08, 406/08, 390/08 e 387/08). Com relação ao tempo de cocção na safra 2011/2012, todos os clones necessitaram de tempo inferior a 30 minutos. Em relação ao teor de carotenóides totais nas raízes os clones de amarelada que se destacaram foram 91/08, 94/08, 215/08, 246/08, 272/08 e 497/08, e, naqueles de raízes rosada, os clones 406/08 e 341/08. Em relação ao teor de proteínas nas raízes amarelada, os clones 26/08, 90/08 e 91/08, foram os melhores enquanto nas raízes rosada se destacaram os clones 406/08 e a testemunha IAC 576-70. Os teores de HCN nas raízes de reserva de mandioca foram inferiores a 100 mg kg-1 em todos os clones avaliados. Diferenças significativas entre clones de mandioca de polpas amarelada e rosada foram verificadas para todas as características agronômicas, morfológicas e bioquímicas avaliadas. Os clones tiveram bom desempenho nas avaliações para o cultivo comercial na região do Cerrado e, alguns destes, têm potencial para utilização no melhoramento visando o incremento de carotenóides. ABSTRACT: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is considered a relevant species as a food source for the world's population, particularly for developing and emerging countries. The cassava is a provider of energy from starch accumulated in their reserve roots, but it is also important to highlight the presence of carotenoids with antioxidant activity. In this context, this study aimed to characterize, using morphological, agronomic and biochemical, descriptors elite clones from sweet cassava of yellowish and pinkish pulps from the cassava breeding program at Embrapa Cerrados. They were characterized for two crops, 13 edible cassava clones with yellowish pulp and 8 clones with pinkish pulp, compared with the control variety IAC 576-70 (BGMC 753). To evaluate the morphological characteristics were obtained 40 qualitative descriptors for each clone. Both clones the yellowish pulp as those the roots the pinkish pulp, there was morphological differences among clones, showing that no clone showed 100% similarity. The year / crop factor did not influence the phenotypic expression of measured characters. Based on cofenetic coefficient, was found high fit between the graphical representation via dendrogram of r = 0.80 in the roots of yellowish pulp and r = 0.92 in the pinkish of genetic dissimilarity matrix. Among the measured characters, those with the highest entropy in the yellowish roots were, the color of the outer epidermis, the central lobe shape of the leaf and root cortex color, whereas the pinkish was the color to disc, central lobe shape and petiole color. We also performed the characterization based on plant height, the first branch point, and shoot weight without strain, productivity in roots, and index of starch in the roots determines by the method of hydrostatic balance, time for cooking and acid cyanide content in the roots. Based on the evaluated characters, clones stood out with pulps yellowish and pinkish respectively, characters height of the first branch (273/08 and 259/08) and (390/08, 345/08 and the witness IAC 576-70), plant height (90 / 08, 272/08, 273/08, 497/08, 259/08 and 450/08) and (390/08, 345/08 and 378/08), shoot weight without strain (94/08 and 272/08) and (390/08, 406/08, 390/08, 378/08 and 341/08), percentage of starch in the roots (26/08, 272/08, 259/08 and 450/08) and (378/08, 413/08, 390/08 and the witness IAC 576-70), roots of productivity (215/08) and (witnesses IAC 576-70, 341/08, 406/08, 390/08 and 387/08). Regarding the cooking time in the 2011/2012 harvest, all clones showed time less than 30 minutes. Regarding the total carotenoid content in the pulps clones of yellowish roots that stood out were 91/08, 94/08, 215/08, 246/08, 272/08 and 497/08, and, those the clones with pulp pinkish 406/08 and 341/08. Regarding the protein content in yellowish roots the clones 26/08, 90/08 and 91/08, was the best while the pinkish roots highlight clones 406/08 and witness IAC 576-70. The levels of HCN in reserve roots of cassava were less than 100 mg kg-1em all evaluated clones. Significant differences between yellowish and pinkish of pulps cassava clones were checked for all agronomic, morphological and biochemical characteristics evaluated. The clones had well in the ratings for commercial cultivation in the Cerrado region and some of these, clones has potential for use in breeding aimed at increase of carotenoids.

Rizobactérias do bacurizeiro no biocontrole de Lasiodiplodia sp.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo selecionar isolados de rizobactérias como possíveis agentes de biocontrole de Lasiodiplodia sp. associado à seca descendente do bacurizeiro. Os isolados de rizobactérias foram estriados em meio Batata Dextrose Agar (BDA) à 1 cm de uma das extremidades de cada placa e, em seguida, foi colocado um disco de micélio do patógeno de 8mm de diâmetro no centro de cada placa. As culturas foram incubadas a 28 °C por 3 dias. A determinação do diâmetro da colônia foi medida diariamente com auxílio de um paquímetro. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com 24 tratamentos e 4 repetições. Dos 23 isolados avaliados, o isolado CA20 apresentou maior porcentagem de inibição de 22,30%. Os isolados CA21, CA13, CA19, CA6, CA15, CA24, CA18, CA2, CA10, CA17, CA29, CA23 e CA5 não diferiram entre si e proporcionaram a inibição do fungo com percentagem de 7,03% a 12,47% demonstrando o potencial desses isolados para utilização como agentes de biocontrole de Lasiodiplodia sp.

Efeito de extratos vegetais sobre Cylindrocladium sp.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de extratos alcoólicos e aquosos de plantas medicinais sobre o crescimento de Cylindrocladium sp. Os extratos foram incorporados ao meio BDA na concentração de 1%. Após a solidificação do meio, depositou-se um disco de micélio de 8 mm de diâmetro de micélio fúngico no centro das placas de Petri. Como testemunha utilizou-se o meio BDA sem adição dos extratos. A determinação do crescimento micelial foi realizada diariamente com auxílio de um paquímetro, até que o isolado em um dos tratamentos atingisse uma das extremidades da placa. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com 15 tratamentos e cinco repetições para os extratos alcoólicos e para os extratos aquosos. Os extratos alcoólicos de jaca, vinagreira, noni, nim, erva cidreira, cipó de alho e gengibre reduziram significativamente o crescimento fúngico entre 12,16 a 19,71%, enquanto os extratos aquosos de erva cidreira, boldo e jaca reduziram significativamente o crescimento do patógeno entre 15,88 e 21,38%.
