Biocontrol mechanisms of Trichoderma strains
TL;DR: The genus Trichoderma comprises a great number of fungal strains that act as biological control agents, the antagonistic properties of which are based on the activation of multiple mechanisms, such as plant growth factors, hydrolytic enzymes, siderophores, antibiotics, and carbon and nitrogen permeases.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global perspective on carotenoids: Metabolism, biotechnology, and benefits for nutrition and health
Manuel Rodríguez-Concepción,Javier Avalos,M. Luisa Bonet,Albert Boronat,Lourdes Gómez-Gómez,Dámaso Hornero-Méndez,M. Carmen Limón,Antonio J. Meléndez-Martínez,Begoña Olmedilla-Alonso,Andreu Palou,Joan Ribot,María Jesús Rodrigo,Lorenzo Zacarías,Changfu Zhu +13 more
TL;DR: This review, contributed by scientists of complementary disciplines related to carotenoid research, covers recent advances and provides a perspective on future directions on the subjects of carotENoid metabolism, biotechnology, and nutritional and health benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological roles of fungal carotenoids.
Javier Avalos,M. Carmen Limón +1 more
TL;DR: F fungi have adapted their ability to produce carotenoids for different non-essential functions, related with stress tolerance or with the synthesis of physiologically active by-products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary structure and expression pattern of the 33-kDa chitinase gene from the mycoparasitic fungus Trichoderma harzianum
M. Carmen Limón,José M. Lora,Irene García,Jesús de la Cruz,Antonio Llobell,Tahía Benítez,José Antonio Pintor-Toro +6 more
TL;DR: A gene (chit33) from the mycoparasitic fungus Trichoderma harzianum, coding for a chitinase of 33 kDa, has been isolated and characterized and enzyme characteristics suggest a nutritional, rather than a morphogenetic, role for this chit inase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addition of substrate-binding domains increases substrate-binding capacity and specific activity of a chitinase from Trichoderma harzianum
TL;DR: Chitinase Chit42 from Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413 is considered to play an important role in the biocontrol activity of this fungus against plant pathogens as well as on high molecular mass insoluble substrates such as ground chitin or chit in-rich fungal cell walls.
