“…For example, yeast contains 6–15% of nucleic acids as compared with 2% in meat products (Arora et al . ). Terrestrial monogastric animals cannot tolerate high levels of dietary nucleotides (>4 g of purines and pyrimidines day −1 ) because of high serum uric acid and gout production from purine metabolism.…”

Fisheries and aquaculture products will have a lead role in satisfying the food requirements of the growing human population. The fish meal required for the manufacture of aquaculture feeds represents a limited resource having high demand. Unconventional sources of nutrients have been intensely researched and among these, the microbial biomass produced from heterotrophic and autotrophic microorganisms has been considered as a promising substitute for animal‐ and plant‐derived ingredients. Several studies have shown that different species of yeast, bacteria and microalgae are viable for high density culture and show excellent nutritional characteristics for terrestrial and aquatic animals. Such features have lead to additional research to upscale production and although production costs are still high; novel, sophisticated methods have focused on utilizing alternative substrates for producing microbial biomass. The aquaculture industry requires renewable nutrient sources that can yield high quality protein and other essential nutrients. In this context, the nutritional characteristics of microorganisms and the emerging technologies aimed to produce microbial biomass allow forecasting increased applications. The present manuscript reviews the current state of the production and use of microorganisms as dietary ingredients in aquaculture nutrition, with emphasis on those showing solid potential as functional additives and fish meal replacement ingredients. A synthesis of recent results on the effects promoted by the dietary inclusion of microbial biomass is presented, underlining the employment of different sources of yeast, bacteria and microalgae and the physiological ability of aquatic animals to utilize these alternative nutrient sources.

“…All these are energy requiring processes and thus, stimulate plant respiration and enhance photosynthesis and photosynthetic efficiency. Root colonization by Trichoderma strains frequently enhances root growth, root area, cumulative root length, significant increases in dry weight, shoot length and leaf area (Yedidia et al, 2003) and also promote development, crop productivity, resistance to abiotic stresses and the uptake and use of nutrients (Arora et al, 1992). They stimulate plant growth directly by making available these nutrients to the plants and indirectly by inducing a competitive environment for nutrients against other micro-floras.…”

Trichoderma spp are free living filamentous fungi. They are cosmopolitan and versatile in nature. They have the potential to produce several enzymes that can degrade the cell wall materials. Also, they release a number of fungi toxic substances that can inhibit the growth of the fungal pathogens. Many mechanisms have been described on how Trichoderma exert beneficial effects on plants as a bio-control agent. But due to its versatile nature, its potential cannot be explored to its full extent. And it is a developing science in the field of bio-control with its new discoveries adding to the usefulness of the fungi as a bio-control agent. Its development as a bio-control agent passes through many phases and each phase adding novel ideas that will help in the development of an efficient bio-agent which in turn will help in the crop improvement and disease management. The studies on their various aspects responsible for bio-control will open a flood gate to the development of Trichoderma as an efficient and reliable bio-agent and provide a better scope for implementation in crop and disease management. The in vitro antagonistic activity of Trichoderma viride against phytopathogens (Sclerotium rolfsii, Fusarium oxysporum f.s.p. ciceri, Fusarium oxysporum f.s.p. udum) was studied and it was found to be potentially effective against F. oxysporum f.s.p. ciceri followed by F. oxysporum f.s.p. udum and Sclerotium rolfsii.
