“…lycopersici. In the same sense, Tiwari et al [59] showed that A. niger inhibit the growth of all the fungal species tested which belong to ten genera of wood decay fungi (Trametes, Stereum, Pycnoporus, Phellinus, Lenzites, Phellinus, Earliella Gloeophyllum, Flavodon and Daedalea), from 29.2 to 66.7%. In addition, Venkatasubbaiah and Safeeulla [60] found that A. niger, isolated from the rhizosphere of coffee seedlings, was antagonistic to Rhizoctonia solani in vitro and exhibited hyperparasitism against this collar rot pathogen in dual culture experiments.…”

Nine isolates of Aspergillus spp., isolated from soil and compost were tested in vitro and in vivo for their antifungal activity against Fusarium sambucinum and Phytophthora erythroseptica, the causal agents of the Fusarium dry rot and pink rot of potato tubers. Tested using the dual culture method, the pathogen growth of F. sambucinum and P. erythroseptica was inhibited by 27 to 68% and 16 to 25% by all Aspergillus species, respectively. The highest inhibitory activity against both pathogens was induced by the isolate CH12 of A. niger. A significant reduction of the mycelial growth of both pathogens tested using the inverse double culture method involves the presence of volatile antifungal metabolites. Their effectiveness was also evaluated as tuber treatment prior to inoculation with the pathogens. The highest effectiveness in reducing Fusarium dry rot severity was recorded on tubers treated with the isolate CH12 of A. niger. This study also revealed that the efficacy of Aspergillus spp. as biocontrol agents may be enhanced by varying the timing of their application. In fact, the lesion diameter of dry and pink rots was reduced by 54-70 and 52% with preventive application, respectively. However, this parameter decreased by 21-48 and 47% when the Aspergillus spp. were applied simultaneously with pathogens, respectively. Similarly, diseases' severity, estimated based on average penetration of F. sambucinum and P. erythroseptica, was reduced by 57-77 and 55% with preventive treatments and by 29-68 and 44% with simultaneous application, respectively. This study reveals that Aspergillus spp., isolated from compost and soil, exhibits an interesting antifungal activity toward F. sambucinum and P. erythroseptica and may represent a potential source of biopesticide. Testing of their culture filtrates, their organic extracts and their toxicity may give additional information on their safe use as biocontrol agents.

“…The percentage inhibition of radial growth values of T. viride and A. niger are almost the same (ranging from 29.2 to 66.7) and the average mean value of T. viride (51.7) is 13.3 more than that of A. niger (45.5). (18) The present investigation suggests that Aspergillus niger, A. fumigatus and Trichoderma viride may be exploited commercially as a biocontrol agent to protect anthracnose disease of R. serpentina caused by C. gloeosporioides.…”

Four antagonistic fungi Aspergillus flavus Link, A. fumigatus Fresenius, A. niger van Tiegh. and Trichoderma viride Pers. were isolated from field soil of Rauwolfia serpentina by serial dilution method and selected to evaluate their antagonistic potentiality against Colletotrichum gloeosporiodes (Penz.) Sacc, the causal agent of anthracnose of Rauwolfia serpentina (L.) Benth. ex Kurz following dual culture colony interaction, volatile and non-volatile metabolites. In dual culture method Trichoderma viride showed maximum (84.28%) inhibition of test fungi followed by Aspergillus niger (77.39%), A. fumigatus (43.71%) and A. flavus (29.32%). Volatile metabolites of T. viride showed higher (77.64%) inhibition of test fungi followed by A. flavus (75.58%), A. fumigatus (60.88%) and A. niger (58.23%). Non-volatile metabolites of antagonistic fungi showed that A. flavus showed (94.42%) inhibition of test fungus followed by T. viride (90.90%), A. niger (86.13%) and A. fumigatus (73.73%). Aspergillus flavus, A. niger and T. viride may be exploited commercially as a biocontrol agent against anthracnose disease of R. serpentina. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 28(2): 219-226, 2019 (July)

Tiwari et al (2011) tested two biocontrol agents viz., Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma viride were tested against ten white rot and one brown rot wood decay fungi (WDF) by dual culture technique under laboratory conditions. The result showed that both A. niger and T.viride inhibit growth of all WDF tested.…”

Three antagonistic fungi were isolated from the field soil of blight infected Tagetes spp. by serial dilution method. The fungi were identified as Aspergillus flavus Link, A. niger van Tiegh. and Trichoderma viride Pers. Antagonistic potentiality of aforesaid fungi were evaluated against the pathogenic fungi of Tageteserecta L. and T. patula L. following "dual culture colony interaction" and volatile and nonvolatile metabolites. The pathogenic fungi were A. alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus and Curvularia lunata. In dual culture colony interaction, out of three soil fungi, T. viride showed the highest growth inhibition on A. alternata (71.03%), A. fumigatus (38.49%) and C. lunata (60.71%). The maximum inhibition of radial growth of A. alternata (74.55%) was observed with the culture filtrates of T. viride owing to volatile metabolites. The maximum inhibition of radial growth of A. fumigatus (37.43%) was observed with the culture filtrates of A. flavus owing to volatile metabolites. The complete inhibition of radial growth of C. lunata was observed with the culture filtrates of A. niger owing to volatile metabolites. The complete inhibition of radial growth of A. alternata was observed with nonvolatile metabolites of A. nigera and T. viride at all concentrations. The complete inhibition of radial growth of A. fumigatus was also observed with nonvolatile metabolites of A. niger at all concentrations. Aspergillus niger and T. viride may be exploited commercially as a biocontrol agent against blight pathogens of T. erecta and T. patula. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 29(2): 147-153, 2020 (July)
