“…Trichoderma is known to adapt to a wide range of environmental conditions in both marine and terrestrial environments [29]. An increasing number of studies on the bioremediation of toxic materials by Trichoderma have been conducted, given its resistance to persistent pollutants such as heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and pesticides [29,30]. However, the effectiveness of Trichoderma species in bioremediating crude oil in aquatic environments is limitedly studied [31], as these species are typically employed for bioremediation in soil [13,30].…”

Large-scale petroleum production poses environmental and human health risks, particularly due to petroleum contamination in marine environments. The aim of this study was to isolate and screen fungi inhabiting decaying mangrove wood in East Kalimantan with their ability to degrade crude oil in seawater. In the initial step, fungi were isolated using standard methods and screened for crude oil degradation and biomass production. Selected fungi were based on their significant biomass production. Subsequently, the selected fungus was cultured in three types of media based on natural seawater and crude oil at initial concentrations ranging from 1% to 5% (v/v). The biodegradation of crude oil was assessed spectrophotometrically at 420 nm. Out of the 17 decaying wood fungi, MG-07 exhibited significantly higher biomass production compared to the control medium (without crude oil). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis indicated that MG-07 degraded 20%–80% of the normal aliphatic compounds in the tested crude oils within 2 weeks. Furthermore, the growth and degradation efficiency of MG-07 was significantly enhanced when cultured in a natural seawater medium containing crude oil, supplemented with glucose (20 g/L) and Tween 80 (1% v/v). The highest observed biomass gains were 867%, with a biodegradation efficiency of 31.6% at a crude oil concentration of 1%. MG-07 was identified as Trichoderma sp. based on the internal transcribed spacer region. The results obtained from this study demonstrate that MG-07 has significant potential for degrading crude oil in saline environments. These findings provide valuable insights for the application of fungi in marine oil spill remediation.

“…From there, the endophytic colonization begins, where the microorganism assists the development and growth of seedlings through the emission of chemical signals that allow the best plant development due to the symbiosis process. Consequently, shoot and root biomass are improved; seedlings also have greater resistance and responses to stress conditions [ 67 , 68 ].…”

Forest production has great relevance in the Brazilian economy, characterized by several production sectors, including the production of seedlings. With the focus on maximizing the capacity of survival, development, and adaptation of seedlings, Trichoderma is highlighted as a potentially useful genus of microorganisms for promoting growth and higher product quality. In this sense, this review aims to describe the main mechanisms of fungi action in forest seedlings’ production. The different species of the genus Trichoderma have specific mechanisms of action, and the current scenario points to more advances in the number of species. The interaction process mediated by different mechanisms of action begins in the communication with plants, from the colonization process. After the interaction, chemical dialogues allow the plant to develop better because, from colonization, the forest seedlings can maximize height and increase shoot and root development. Fungi promote solubilization and availability of nutrients to seedlings, which show numerous benefits to the development. The use of beneficial microorganisms, such as fungi of the genus Trichoderma, has become a sustainable strategy to enhance seedling development, reducing the use of agrochemicals and industrial fertilizers.

“…Trichoderma species, belonging to the phylum Ascomycota, are naturally occurring in soil as well as on plant surfaces (Afzal et al, 2021;Oskiera et al, 2017). The genus of Trichoderma has been widely studied as a biocontrol agent (BCA) (Bonfante & Genre, 2010;Guzmán-Guzmán et al, 2019;Sharma et al, 2009;Sood et al, 2020;Stenberg et al, 2021).…”

Trichodermaspp. are gaining popularity in agriculture and forestry due to their multifaceted roles in promoting plant growth through e.g. nutrient translocation, hormone production, induction of plant systemic resistance, but also direct antagonism of other fungi. However, the mycotrophic nature of the genus bears the risk of possible interference with other native plant-beneficial fungi, such as ectomycorrhiza, in the rhizosphere. Such interference could yield unpredictable consequences for the host plants of these ecosystems. We investigated whetherTrichodermaspp. can differentiate between beneficial ectomycorrhizal fungi (represented byLaccaria bicolorandHebeloma cylindrosporum) and pathogenic fungi (represented byFusarium graminearumandAlternaria alternata) in different confrontation scenarios, including a newly developed olfactometer 'race tube'-like system. Using two independent species,T. harzianum, andT. atrobrunneum, with plant-growth-promoting and immune-stimulating properties towardsPopulus x canescens, our study revealed robustly accelerated growth towards phytopathogens, while showing a contrary response to ectomycorrhizal fungi. Transcriptomic analyses identified distinct genetic programs during interaction corresponding to the lifestyles, emphasizing the expression of mycoparasitism-related genes only in the presence of phytopathogens. The findings reveal a critical mode of fungal community interactions belowground and suggest thatTrichodermaspp. can distinguish between fungal partners of different lifestyles already at a distance.
