Soil pollution with heavy metals is a serious threat to the environment. However, soils polluted with heavy metals are considered good sources of native metal-resistant Trichoderma strains. Trichoderma spp. are free-living fungi commonly isolated from different ecosystems, establishing endophytic associations with plants. They have important ecolog...
The beneficial role of fungi from the Trichoderma genus and its secondary metabolites in promoting plant growth, uptake and use efficiency of macronutrients and oligo/micro-nutrients, activation of plant secondary metabolism and plant protection from diseases makes it interesting for application in environmentally friendly agriculture. However, the...
In this study we have investigated the effect of T. harzianum on growth,
content of chlorophyll and epidermal flavonols and metal distribution in
tomato plants. Trichoderma strain, isolated from the A horizon (5-30 cm) of
agricultural soil used in organic production, was applied near the root in
the sixth leaf development phase of tomato. Tomato pl...
An aerobic denitrifier was newly isolated and identified by VITEK® 2 Compact System and MALDI-TOF MS as P.
stutzeri strain D1. Sequence amplification indicates that the denitrification genes napA, nirS, norB and nosZ are
present in a novel strain D1, as well as in reference strain ATCC 17588. Strain D1 had capability to fully remove 3
g/L of nitrat...
Trichoderma species are widely known for their antagonistic properties, but plant growth promotion and abiotic stress tolerance have also been reported. Mechanisms of abiotic stress tolerance , such as drought in plants in interaction with Trichoderma spp., remain unclear. In this work, the results about the influence of Trichoderma brevicompactum...

Trichoderma koningiopsis and T. gamsii belong to clade Viride of Trichoderma, the largest and most diverse group of this genus. They produce a wide range of bioactive secondary metabolites, including peptaibols with antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. The unusual amino acid residues of peptaibols, i.e., α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib)...
Influence of edaphic factors and metal content on diversity of Trichoderma species at 14 different soil sampling locations, on two depths, was examined. Forty-one Trichoderma isolates from 14 sampling sites were determined as nine species based on their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. Our results indicate that weakly alkaline soils are...
Mullein (Verbascum) plants have extensive distribution and can grow in
variable environmental conditions. Seed was collected from mullein plants
grown at 4 locations, two metals contaminated and two metal uncontaminated
areas. Genetic variability of progeny was examined. Populations collected
from unpolluted areas were genetically more similar than...
Two fungal strains were applied to soil polluted with herbicide in order to
determine their degradation potential. Three experimental setups were used.
In the first setup, the soil in pots was contaminated by linuron in final
concentration of 1 ppm. Suspensions of Phanerocheate chrysosporium and
Trichoderma asperellum were applied separately or in...
Some Trichoderma strains can persist in ecosystems with high concentrations
of heavy metals. The aim of this research was to examine the variability of
Trichoderma strains isolated from different ecosystems, based on their
morphological properties and restriction analysis of ITS fragments. The
fungal growth was tested on potato dextrose agar, amend...
The species composition of Trichoderma isolates from the rhizosphere of different vegetables collected at different locations in Hungary was examined during this study.
Trichoderma strains were isolated from the rhizosphere samples on dichloran-rose bengal medium. After purification of genomic DNA, the PCR amplification of the internal
transcribed...
In this study we screened formerly isolated Trichoderma strains for laccase production on solid media supplemented with two different substrates, ABTS [2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate)] or guaiacol. We detected outstandingly strong colour changes in the case of three Trichoderma strains in this experiment. The strains were identif...

Research and knowledge-transfer activities in domain of environment-friendly technology to enhance cooperation and innovation activities.
Creation of a new, innovative product and technology intended for restoration/protection of the soil quality, promoting ecological pest management.
The main focus of the project proposal is to prevent “brain drain” of
young scientists by education and skill building in the area of environmentally friendly methods in agriculture. Participants will have the opportunity to be in line with innovations and new trends in ecological agriculture through building of WB6-W4 networking achieved during this project. The project is addressed not only to students but to broader society. Public awareness on benefits of the application of ecologically friendly methods will be increased through targeting agricultural producers and
media representatives in Serbia.
Development of soil type adapted microbiological products promoting ecological pest management
