“…Already known biocontrol agents like T. atroviride and T. harzianum Rifai , or Clonostachys rosea (Link) Schroers, Samuels, Seifert and W. Gams (Gromadzka et al 2009) are among the possible candidates. It is also possible to screen species isolated from residues (Luongo et al 2005;Singh et al 2009). The latter approach increases the likelihood that the microorganisms are adapted to the environment of the studied residues.…”

Living organisms establish complex networks of mutualistic and antagonistic interactions in nature, which impact strongly on their own survival and on the stability of the whole population. Fungi, in particular, can shape natural as well as manmanaged ecosystems due to their ubiquitous occurrence and the range of interactions they establish with plants, animals and other microbes. This review describes some examples of mutualistic and antagonistic fungal interactions that are of particular interest for their ecological role, or because they can be exploited by man to improve plant health and/or productivity in sustainable agriculture and forestry.

“…Clonostachys rosea (teleomorph Bionectria ochroleuca) is a soil-inhabiting, mycoparasitic ascomycete fungus that is reported to be an effective biological-control agent against several plant-pathogenic fungi (Luongo et al, 2005;Sutton et al, 1997). This has also been demonstrated with our C. rosea strain IK726 (Jensen et al, 2000(Jensen et al, , 2004Møller et al, 2003).…”

Identifying glycoside hydrolase family 18 genes in the mycoparasitic fungal species Clonostachys rosea

Clonostachys rosea is a mycoparasitic fungal species that is an efficient biocontrol agent against many plant diseases. During mycoparasitic interactions, one of the most crucial steps is the hydrolysis of the prey's fungal cell wall, which mainly consists of glucans, glycoproteins and chitin. Chitinases are hydrolytic enzymes responsible for chitin degradation and it is suggested that they play an important role in fungal-fungal interactions. Fungal chitinases belong exclusively to the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 18.These GH18 proteins are categorized into three distinct phylogenetic groups (A, B and C), subdivided into several subgroups. In this study, we identified 14 GH18 genes in the C. rosea genome, which is remarkably low compared with the high numbers found in mycoparasitic Trichoderma species. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. rosea contains eight genes in group A, two genes in group B, two genes in group C, one gene encoding a putative ENGase (endo-b-N-acetylglucosaminidase) and the ech37 gene, which is of bacterial origin. Gene expression analysis showed that only two genes had higher transcription levels during fungal-fungal interactions, while eight out of 14 GH18 genes were triggered by chitin. Furthermore, deletion of the C group chiC2 gene decreased the growth inhibitory activity of C. rosea culture filtrates against Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani, although the biocontrol ability of C. rosea against B. cinerea was not affected. In addition, a potential role of the CHIC2 chitinase in the sporulation process was revealed. These results provide new information about the role of GH18 proteins in mycoparasitic interactions.
