“…Sacc . Furthermore, one fatty acid (lauric acid), and a mixture of β ‐sitosterol and stigmasterol, all obtained from the plant Areca catechu L. (Palmaceae), were active against the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz . Consequently, the active substances isolated from A. colubrina in the present work demonstrated potential for use in the development of new fungicides for the control of several plant‐pathogenic fungi.…”

“…The effects of some compounds on fungal spore germination were also conducted. Yenjit et al [ 19 ] found that fernenol, arundoin, and a mixture of stigmasterol and β -sitosterol greatly inhibited spore germination and germ tube elongation in Colletotrichum gloeosporioides with EC 50 values of 45.8, 62.3, and 86.9 mg/L. Recently, Nishino et al [ 20 ] showed that 1-Phenyl-3-pentanone from an edible mushroom had significantly inhibitory spore germination of some plant-pathogenic fungi against plant-pathogenic fungi at 35 ppm.…”

The antifungal efficacy of nerol (NEL) has been proved against Aspergillus flavus by using in vitro and in vivo tests. The mycelial growth of A. flavus was completely inhibited at concentrations of 0.8 μL/mL and 0.1 μL/mL NEL in the air at contact and vapor conditions, respectively. The NEL also had an evident inhibitory effect on spore germination in A. flavus along with NEL concentration as well as time-dependent kinetic inhibition. The NEL presented noticeable inhibition on dry mycelium weight and synthesis of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) by A. flavus, totally restraining AFB1 production at 0.6 μL/mL. In real food system, the efficacy of the NEL on resistance to decay development in cherry tomatoes was investigated in vivo by exposing inoculated and control fruit groups to NEL vapor at different concentration. NEL vapors at 0.1 μL/mL air concentration significantly reduced artificially contaminated A. flavus and a broad spectrum of fungal microbiota. Results obtained from presented study showed that the NEL had a great antifungal activity and could be considered as a benefit and safe tool to control food spoilage.

“…All assays were performed in triplicates. At regular intervals, the number of germinated spores and the length of germ tubes were examined by counting and measuring a total of 200 spores in some random fields under an electron microscope (×400) [29]. The results were expressed as the percentage of spore germination (PSG) and germ tube morphology [17].…”

A strain of bacterium producing antifungal antibiotic was isolated and identification of the strain was attempted. We could identify the bacterium as being a Bacillus sp., based on morphological observation, physiological characteristics, and 16S rDNA sequence analysis, thus leading us to designate the strain as Bacillus sp. AH-E-1. The strain showed potent antibiotic activity against phytopathogenic and human pathogenic fungi by inducing mycelial distortion and swelling and inhibiting spore germination. The antibiotic metabolite produced by the strain demonstrated excellent thermal and pH (2-11) stability, but was labile to autoclaving. From these results, we could find a broader antifungal activity of Bacillus genus. Isolation and characterization of the active agent produced by the strain are under progress.
