Versions Notes

To test some bio-fungicides, isolation of Monilinia fructigena was carried out. Monilinia fructigena is a plant pathogen causing fruit rot in apples [1,2].
The fungus strain was cultivated onto potato-dextrose agar from Sigma-Aldrich with the following composition: dextrose, 20 g/L, agar, 15 g/L, and potato extract, 4 g/L. Chloramphenicol antibiotic was used to avoid bacterial contamination. Experiences were effectuated using fruits of the Idared apple variety from the Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pitesti–Mărăcineni.
Morphological observations were taken based on colony, conidia, and conidiophore morphology and other morphological characters [3].
Monilinia fructigena (Figure 1) was isolated from infected apples (fruits) and grown on the potato-dextrose agar culture medium with the goal to test some bio-fungicides.
