Antagonistic bacteria of composted agro-industrial residues exhibit antibiosis against soil-borne fungal plant pathogens and protection of tomato plants from Fusarium oxysporum f.sp radicis-lycopersici

Kavroulakis, N.; Ntougias, S.; Besi, M. I.; Katsou, P.; Damaskinou, A.; Ehaliotis, C.; Zervakis, G. I.; Papadopoulou, K. K. (2010)

Rhizospheric and root-associated/endophytic (RAE) bacteria were isolated from tomato plants grown in three suppressive compost-based plant growth media derived from the olive mill, winery and Agaricus bisporus production ...

Characterization of cultivated fungi isolated from grape marc wastes through the use of amplified rDNA restriction analysis and sequencing

Ntougias, S.; Kavroulakis, N.; Papadopoulou, K. K.; Ehaliotis, C.; Zervakis, G. I. (2010)

Microbial assessment of grape marc wastes, the residual solid by-product of the wine-industry, was performed by identifying phylogenetically the fungal culturable diversity in order to evaluate environmental and disposal ...

Cytological and other aspects of pathogenesis-related gene expression in tomato plants grown on a suppressive compost

Kavroulakis, N.; Papadopoulou, K. K.; Ntougias, S.; Zervakis, G. I.; Ehaliotis, C. (2006)

• Background and Aims: Recent studies have shown that certain composts may trigger indirect defence mechanisms by sensitizing the plant to create an increased state of resistance, similar to systemic acquired resistance. ...

Effect of continuous olive mill wastewater applications, in the presence and absence of nitrogen fertilization, on the structure of rhizosphere-soil fungal communities

Karpouzas, D. G.; Rousidou, C.; Papadopoulou, K. K.; Bekris, F.; Zervakis, G. I.; Singh, B. K.; Ehaliotis, C. (2009)

Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is rich in potentially toxic organics precluding its disposal into water receptors. However, land application of diluted OMW may result in safe disposal and fertilization. In order to investigate ...

Olive mill wastewater affects the structure of soil bacterial communities

Karpouzas, D. G.; Ntougias, S.; Iskidou, E.; Rousidou, C.; Papadopoulou, K. K.; Zervakis, G. I.; Ehaliotis, C. (2010)

Land spreading of olive mill wastewater (OMW) has beets proposed as a useful means for its disposal. However, there is no information regarding the impact of OMW soil applications on the structure of bacterial communities. ...

Role of ethylene in the protection of tomato plants against soil-borne fungal pathogens conferred by an endophytic Fusarium solani strain

Kavroulakis, N.; Ntougias, S.; Zervakis, G. I.; Ehaliotis, C.; Haralampidis, K.; Papadopoulou, K. K. (2007)

An endophytic fungal isolate (Fs-K), identified as a Fusarium solani strain, was obtained from root tissues of tomato plants grown on a compost which suppressed soil and foliar pathogens. Strain Fs-K was able to colonize ...

Suppression of soil-borne pathogens of tomato by composts derived from agro-industrial wastes abundant in Mediterranean regions

Ntougias, S.; Papadopoulou, K. K.; Zervakis, G. I.; Kavroulakis, N.; Ehaliotis, C. (2008)

We studied nine composts derived from wastes and by-products of the olive oil, wine, and Agaricus mushroom agro-industries. They were mixed with peat at 1:3 w w (-1) ratios and comparatively evaluated in pot experiments ...
