TL;DR: A polyphasic taxonomic study of a halotolerant micro-organism, isolated from Kuwait salt marsh soil, revealed that this strain represents a novel Nocardiopsis species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Solute Potential and Water Stress on Black Scorch Caused by Chalara paradoxa and Chalara radicicola on Date Palms.
TL;DR: These studies indicate that in parts of Kuwait where drought and salinity prevail, opportunistic pathogens such as C. radicicola and T. paradoxa could become aggressive and cause serious damage to date palms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saccharomonospora halophila sp. nov., a novel halophilic actinomycete isolated from marsh soil in Kuwait.
Sheikha S Al-Zarban,Azza A Al-Musallam,Ibrahim Abbas,Erko Stackebrandt,Reiner M. Kroppenstedt +4 more
TL;DR: An actinomycete, strain 8T, was isolated from marsh soil in Kuwait as mentioned in this paper and was classified as a new species within the genus Saccharomonospora.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of biofungicide Mycostop on Ceratocystis radicicola , the causal agent of black scorch on date palm
TL;DR: In vitro studies conducted to assess the efficacy of the biofungicide Mycostop on the fungus Ceratocystis radicicola, which causes black scorch on date palm, and the effect salinity on the growth of Streptomyces griseoviridis, the active component of My costop.
