The pathogen was isolated from diseased leaves by a tissue separation method. DNA sequencing was performed by the sequence analysis of ribosomal rDNA-ITS(Internal transcribed spacer) region, and a molecular evolutionary tree was constructed by the MEGA 4.0 software. The pathogenic fungus was classified and identified by combining morphological observation finally. The results showed that the dry blight disease in leaf tip was a new disease, which was caused by Epicoccum sorghinum, and it had a serious damage to red-fleshed kiwifruit.展开更多

After cultivation on LB medium at 28℃ for48 h, the colonies were light yellow, circular or amorphous, translucent, with smooth and slightly concaved surface and neat edge. Observation under electron microscope showed that the isolates was red-shaped, decapsulated and gram-nega- tive in the size of （0.5 - 1.0） μm × （2.2 -3.0） μm, with 2 -8 flagella. After cultivation on CVP medium at 28 ℃ for 48 h, the colonies were sunken like a cup. The pathogen was able to grow in 5% NaCl medium at 37 ℃, and produced acid through glucose fermentation; it was facuhative anaerobic, and could use citrates, but could not produce indole. It was preliminarily confirmed that the pathogen causing Wufeng Maryland tobacco hollow stalk was Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum.展开更多

文摘[Objectives]The paper was to study molecular characterization,morphology and pathogenicity of Curvularia pseudobrachyspora,a new causal agent of leaf spot on banana.[Methods]Banana(Musa acuminate)leaves with streaks or long ellipse-shaped lesions were sampled in an orchard of Danzhou City,Hainan Province,China in 2021.Fungus isolates were isolated from the diseased tissues and further identified as C.pseudobrachyspora based on morphological characteristics of colony,conidiophore and spore,phylogenetic analyses of the ITS region,GAPDH and TEF-1αgenes.[Results]In the pathogenicity test,the fungus re-isolated from inoculated leaves with necrotic lesions was identified morphologically and molecularly,fulfilling Koch's postulates.[Conclusions]C.pseudobrachyspora is a new pathogen causing leaf spot of banana in China and the world.

文摘Sweet osmanthus is one of the ten traditional famous flowers in China.The occurrence of the diseases caused by fungi other than Botryosphaeria spp.has been reported mainly from China on sweet osmanthus.A leaf dieback of sweet osmanthus caused by Botryosphaeria sp.was found for the first time in 2007 in Nanning City,Guangxi,China.The objectives of the present study were to isolate and characterize the causal organism of sweet osmanthus leaf dieback.The fungus was isolated from the lesions of affected sweet osmanthus leaves and its pathogenicity to sweet osmanthus was confirmed using a detached-leaf-inoculation method.The identification of the pathogen was carried out mainly based on the morphological characters and molecular analysis of internal transcribed spacer （ITS） sequences.The morphological characters of the pathogenic isolate GHX6 were agreed with that of Botryosphaeria dothidea.The ITS sequence of the isolate was amplified with primers ITS1 and ITS4,and submitted to GenBank （accession no.GQ368251）.Molecular analysis based on ITS sequence comparison between the isolate GHX6 and the other related fungi derived from GenBank supported that the causal agent of the sweet osmanthus leaf dieback belonged to Botryosphaeria dothidea.This is the first report of Botryosphaeria dothidea causing leaf dieback on sweet osmanthus in China.
文摘Endophthalmitis is a serious ophthalmic disease characterized by changes in the eye's posterior segment,such as hypopyon and intraocular inflammation,vitritis being a hallmark.Infection-caused endophthalmitis can lead to irreversible vision loss,accompanied by eye pain or eye distention,and in the most severe cases the removal of the eyeball.Microorganisms such as bacteria,fungi,viruses,and parasites typically account for the disease and the entry pathways of the microbial can be divided into either endogenous or exogenous approaches,according to the origin of the etiological agents.Exogenous endophthalmitis can be derived from various occasions(such as postoperative complications or trauma)while endogenous endophthalmitis results from the bloodstream which carries pathogens to the eye.This review aims to summarize the application of new technology in pathogen identification of endophthalmitis so as to prevent the disease and better guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.

文摘The rapid identification of pathogens is crucial in controlling the food quality and safety.The proposed system for the rapid and label-free identification of pathogens is based on the principle of laser scattering from the bacterial microbes.The clinical prototype consists of three parts:the laser beam,photodetectors,and the data acquisition system.The bacterial testing sample was mixed with 10 mL distilled water and placed inside the machine chamber.When the bacterial microbes pass by the laser beam,the scattering of light occurs due to variation in size,shape,and morphology.Due to this reason,different types of pathogens show their unique light scattering patterns.The photo-detectors were arranged at the surroundings of the sample at different angles to collect the scattered light.The photodetectors convert the scattered light intensity into a voltage waveform.The waveform features were acquired by using the power spectral characteristics,and the dimensionality of extracted features was reduced by applying minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance criterion(mRMR).A support vector machine(SVM)classifier was developed by training the selected power spectral features for the classification of three different bacterial microbes.The resulting average identification accuracies of E.faecalis,E.coli and S.aureus were 99%,87%,and 94%,respectively.The ove rall experimental results yield a higher accuracy of 93.6%,indicating that the proposed device has the potential for label-free identification of pathogens with simplicity,rapidity,and cost-effectiveness.
