Abstract(s)
The genus Trichoderma is cosmopolitan in soils, wood
decomposition and plant material. Species of Trichoderma
are often dominant components of the soil microflora in
various habitats. This is due to different metabolic capacity
of the Trichoderma species and its aggressive
competitiveness in nature. The genus Trichoderma are frequently used in biological control because of its antagonist ability of
phytopathogenic fungi. The mechanisms employed by Trichoderma spp. to antagonize other fungi are
competition (for space and / or nutrients), antibiosis and microparasites, while in the latter case, involved lytic
enzymes such as proteases, glucanases, chitinases and lipases. Some of these proteins have a large
agricultural potential, especially as active components of new formulations of fungicides. Trichoderma harzianum Rifai (Ascomycota, Hypocreales, Hypocreaceae) is a filamentous fungus,
asexual, commonly isolated of tropical soil of plant material, rhizosphere ecosystems and decomposing
organic material a ratio of 101-103 spores per gram of soil (Figure 1).
