Exploring Myxomycetes for possible applications as antagonists in biocontrol of plant pathogens Meise Botanic Garden
Myxomycetes or slime moulds are a class of Amoebozoa of which only few practical applications are published in literature. Here we report the first results towards the use of selected slime mould species as antagonists in agricultural applications. Antagonists are organisms used to control plant pathogens, protecting the plant host against invasion by bacteria and fungi. Mycotoxigenic fungi from the genera Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium and ...
