Rhizoctonia solani, an elicitor of 6-pentyl-alpha-pyrone production by Trichoderma harzianum in a two liquid phases, extractive fermentation system.
6-pentyl-alpha-pyrone (6PP) production by Trichoderma harzianum, in an extractive fermentation system, was elicitated by Rhizoctonia solani. The extent of 6PP elicitation was related to the state of Rhizoctonia and to the Trichoderma inoculum type. The use of non-viable Rhizoctonia solani mycelium in mycelium-inoculated Trichoderma harzianum culture, yielded the maximal 6PP production (474 mg l(-1)) compared to control cultures (147 mg l(-1)) and decreased the process time from 192 to 96 h.
