What's the difference between sclerotium and tuckahoe?
Sclerotium
Definition:
(n.) A hardened body formed by certain fungi, as by the Claviceps purpurea, which produces ergot.
(n.) The mature or resting stage of a plasmodium.
Example Sentences:
(1) Three isolates of Gliocladium virens (G1, G2 and G3) and two of Trichoderma longibrachiatum (T1 and T2) were screened against isolates of three soilborne plant pathogens namely Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii and Pythium aphanidermatum.
(2) Conditions for obtaining stable protoplasts from Sclerotium glucanicum and their reversion to hyphal growth were determined.
(3) Some effects of light on morphogenesis in Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc.
(4) The appearance of beta-1,3-glucanases in supernatants of Sclerotium glucanicum cultures was followed by SDS-PAGE and shown to be dependent on cultivation time.
(5) The intracellular spaces of the cortex tissue form a continuous system which is apparently instrumental in mediating communication between the growing sclerotium and the external milieu.
(6) Group controlled mechanism for production of carbohydrases by Sclerotium rolfsii is suggested.
(7) The hydrolysis of purified celluloses (cotton, Avicel, Cellulose-123, Solka Floc SW40) and cellulosic wastes (rice straw, sugarcane bagasse, wood powders, paper factory effluents) by Sclerotium rolfsii CPC 142 culture filtrate was studied.
(8) Lipid reserves in the sclerotium provided the principal carbon and energy source, and the nutrients required for stomatal growth appeared to be provided by the sclerotial tissues immediately beneath the point of attachment of the stoma.
(9) A light-stimulated increase in beta-1,3 glucan accumulation was observed for Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc.
(10) The total level of free amino acids drops with proceeding development of the sclerotium.
(11) Enzyme stability studies in case of Sclerotium rolfsii UV-8 mutant have been investigated under the conditions used for saccharification of cellulose (50 degrees C, pH 4.5, 48 h).
(12) The growth of Sclerotium rolfsii and Whetzelinia sclerotiorum was reduced when 5 X 10(-4) to 2 X 10(-3) M 1-phenyl-2-thiourea (PTU) was incorporated into synthetic media and potato dextrose agar (PDA).
(13) The metabolites of the Canadian tuckahoe, the sclerotium of Polyporus tuberaster, have been investigated.
(14) The dominant fungi of shells of windrowed fruit included Chaetomium, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Sclerotium, and Alternaria.
(15) vasinfectum, Fusarium solani, Rhizoctonia solani, and Sclerotium bataticola.
(16) A lysosomal system was demonstrated in hyphal tip cells of Sclerotium rolfsii by light and electron microscopy observations of the sites of acid phosphatase activity visualized by a modified Gomori lead nitrate method.
(17) In a parasitic culture, proline is probably supplied in sufficient amounts by the host plant and the main difference between the metabolism of fungal sphacelium and sclerotium is a different utilisation of acetyl-CoA.
(18) Respiration and respiratory enzymes of Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium bataticola.
(19) Metabolic products of Aspergillus flavus Link had a toxigenic effect upon Sclerotium bataticola Maub., decreasing its radial expansion and dry weight and enhancing sclerotial production.
(20) Sclerotium rolfsii produced unusual patterns of aerial mycelia and no sclerotia on media containing 2 X 10(-3) M PTU.
Tuckahoe
Definition:
(n.) A curious vegetable production of the Southern Atlantic United States, growing under ground like a truffle and often attaining immense size. The real nature is unknown. Called also Indian bread, and Indian loaf.
