“…It should be noted that production of citrinin was reported by Aspergillus spp. and many Penicillium species, including P. citrinum [57]. In addition, since we did not specifically extract and quantify the amount of each of the compounds produced by the endogenous and their influence on Fusarium spp., we can only conclude that the presence of these extracellular metabolites may have a subsequent impact on the growth of Fusarium species.…”

“…Aspergillus (as well as Penicillium species) is often involved in postharvest spoilage. Their toxins are regarded as a storage concern (Pitt 2002;Scudamore and Livesey 1998). Accumulation of Aspergillus in the later phases of potato development increases the risk of the tuber contamination.…”

Microbial communities in the root, rhizoplane, and rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil in potato, in organic and integrated production systems, were compared at the emergence and flowering phases of plant development. Microorganisms were identified on the basis of their morphology. The dominant groups included Clonostachys + Gliocladium + Trichoderma, Fusarium + Gibberella + Haematonectria + Neonectria, Paecilomyces, Penicillium and Phoma. Microbial density at the flowering phase was often significantly greater in roots and non-rhizosphere soil than in the rhizoplane and rhizosphere. Diversity of the communities often remained stable or was greater at the emergence phase. The density of bacteria changed with time. The density of Pseudomonas often decreased while Streptomyces significantly increased with time. Changes in densities of pathogens and antagonists decreased the suppressiveness of the habitat towards soil-borne potato pathogens at the flowering phase. The study contributes information that will help to: (a) understand the epidemiology of some potato diseases, (b) make decisions on the economic and ecological aspects of chemical control in potato, (c) develop strategies for manipulation of the soil microbial environment as a viable crop management technique, and (d) develop prognosis models for potato diseases in central Europe.

“…Production of citrinin was also reported by Aspergillus spp. and many species of Penicillium, including P. citrinum (Pitt, 2002). Citrinin is also reported for its antagonistic activity against soil and seed-borne plant pathogenic fungi such as Sclerotium rolfsii, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia minor (Melouk and Akem, 1987).…”

In our earlier investigation, a fungal isolate Penicillium citrinum VFI-51 and its secondary metabolite was reported to have antagonistic potential against Botrytis cinerea, the causative agent of Botrytis gray mold disease in chickpea. In the present investigation, P. citrinum VFI-51 was further evaluated for its antagonistic potential against Macrophomina phaseolina, the causative agent of charcoal rot in sorghum. P. citrinum VFI-51 inhibited M. phaseolina in both dual culture as well as secondary metabolite production assays. In the in vivo blotter paper assay, under light chamber conditions, P. citrinum VFI-51 controlled 85% of the charcoal rot disease on the roots when compared to the positive control. Under greenhouse conditions, when M. phaseolina was inoculated by tooth pick method in to the stalk of sorghum plant, the charcoal rot disease was controlled by 75% in P. citrinum VFI-51 treatment over the positive control. This study demonstrates the biocontrol potential of P. citrinum VFI-51 against charcoal rot of sorghum.
