Abstract
Biodegradation of Agricultural Plant Residues by Some Fungi Isolated From Yemen
Highlights
Plant residues include the crop residues such as plant stalks, hulls, leaves and tree wastes processed through a wood chipper
It is possible to isolate 29 species and one variety belonging to 12 fungal genera from the 48 different plant residues samples as shown in Fig. (1) and Table (1)
Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Alternaria, and Ulocladium are the most common genera isolated from different plant residues
Summary
Plant residues include the crop residues such as plant stalks, hulls, leaves and tree wastes processed through a wood chipper. Biodegradation by enzyme activities of the isolated fungi: Organisms: A total of 58 fungal isolates representing 29 species and one variety related to 12 genera recovered during this investigation are screened for their abilities to biodegrade by producing extracellular cell wall degrading enzymes on solid media. These isolates comprised 6 species of Penicillium, 5 species and one variety of Aspergillus, 5 species of Fusarium, 3 species of Alternaria, 2 species of each of Mucor and Ulocladium, and one species of all of the following fungi: Acremonium, Cochliobolus, Curvularia, Drechslera, Eurotium, and Stachybotrys.
