Mirzaeipour Z, Bazgir E, Zafari D, Darvishnia M (2023) Effect of temperature and culture medium on the growth and sporulation of eight Trichoderma species. Plant Pathology Science 12(2):105-116. DOI: https://doi.org/10.2982/PPS.12.2.105
Trichoderma species are important agents of biological control of soil-borne plant pathogens. The growth and reproduction of these fungi are influenced by the culture medium and temperature. This study was conducted to determine the effect of temperature and culture medium on the growth and sporulation of Trichoderma species. Ten isolates of Trichoderma species were isolated from agricultural soils of different regions of Lorestan Province, Iran. The study of morphological characteristics and sequencing of ITS-rDNA, and tef1α gene regions showed that they are belong to eight species of Trichoderma. Investigating the effect of four types of culture medium and five temperatures to determine optimum culture medium and temperature for the growth and reproduction of these fungi, showed that the Potato/Dextrose/Agar (PDA) medium is the best, and the temperature of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius is optimal for the growth and reproduction of these fungi. Evaluation of their ability to inhibit the growth of the soil-borne plant pathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia solani in vitro, showed that T. harzianum LT8 has the most inhibition ability. Therefore, this isolate can be used as a potential biocontrol agent for this plant pathogenic fungus in future research.
