TL;DR: Adult Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinae obtained from the fowl were treated in vitro with 10(-2) to 10(-5) M parbendazole and piperazine adipate and the activities of lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphomonoesterase were not affected significantly.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the carbon utilisation at four different strains of Pholiota destruens (Brond) Gillet and found that each strain exhibited an individual pattern of carbon utilization.
Abstract: Investigations on the carbon utilisation at 4 different strains of Pholiota destruens (Brond) Gillet was undertaken Three of the cultures were isolated from the different selected study sites of Kashmir Valley (India) however, the fourth strain was imported from Institute National de la Recherche Agronomique Bordeaux (France) Twelve carbon sources namely glucose, fructose, mannose (Hexoses). sucrose, lactose (Disaccharides), raffinose (Trisaccharide), starch dextrin (Polysaccharide), mannitol, glycerol (Polyhydric alcohol) tartaric acid, citric acid (Organic acid) were used in the present study however, a carbon free medium was used as control Maximum biomass of the fungus was obtained under starch treatment in all the 4 strains Mannose was found to be the best among hexoses group Glycerol was found the best among polyhydric alcohols Organic acids were not utilized by the fungus Each strain exhibited an individual pattern of carbon utilization.
TL;DR: In this paper, the nutritional requirements of different strains of Pholiota destruens were analyzed and four strains were used in the present study, out of which 3 were locally collected from the study sites of Kashmir, however, fourth one was imported from Institute National de la Recherche Agronomique Bordeaux (France).
Abstract: Physiological studies on the fungus Pholiota destruens were carried out in order to obtain information on the nutritional requirements of the different strains. Four strains were used in the present study, out of which 3 were locally collected from the study sites of Kashmir, however, fourth one was imported from Institute National de la Recherche Agronomique Bordeaux (France). Thirteen nitrogen sources sodium nitrate, ammonium citrate, ammonium tartarate, ammonium chloride, glutamic acid, threonine tyrosine, lysine, glycine, asparagine, tryptophane, urea, thiourea were tried, however, nitrogen free Czapek's Dox liquid medium was used as control. Threonine gives best response in increasing the dry weight of mycelium, however, thiourea has not been utilized by the fungus. Other compound gave poor to intermediate growth. Each strain has given its own way of utilizing nitrogen compounds.
TL;DR: Chilling at -5°C for 35 and 70 days, temperature at 20° to 25°C pH 6.0 to 7.5, humidity 80 to 100% were found favourable in the basidiospore germination and increase of moisture stress beyond -2.5 bar was found inhibitory.
Abstract: Pholiota destruens produces enormous number of basidiospores. Freshly formed basidiospores exhibit dormancy and fail to germinate. Studies were carried out using different physical factors viz., chilling, hydrogen ion concentration, temperature, humidity and moisture stress in order to obtain information about the germination of basidiospores. Chilling at -5°C for 35 and 70 days, temperature at 20° to 25°C pH 6.0 to 7.5, humidity 80 to 100% were found favourable in the basidiospore germination. Increase of moisture stress beyond -2.5 bar was found inhibitory.
