“…S. maydis is also an important producer of mycotoxins among which are the diploidiatoxin, chaetoglobosins, and diplonine ( Figure 8), all associated with a condition called diplodiosis, a mycotoxicosis characterized by neurological disorders such as ataxia, paralysis, and liver damage in farm animals fed infected corn. The same effect has also been observed in laboratory animals [41,[46][47][48][49][50].…”

Stenocarpella maydis and Sporisorium reilianum are phytopathogenic fungi that cause white rot in corn cob and head smut in maize Zea mays L. respectively, diseases that are spread worldwide and cause many economic losses. In this chapter the characteristics of the above diseases, such as their life cycle, pathogenicity factors, control methods, as well as the biotechnological potential of the fungi involved in this processes are described, specifically in connection to their extracellular enzymes.

“…While S. maydis synthesizes diploidiatoxin, the causal agent of diplodiasis, a neuromycotoxicosis, is characterized by neurological alterations such as ataxy, paralysis, and hepatic damage in cattle fed with the infected corn. This toxic effect has been observed in other farm and laboratory animals [4–7]. …”

“…In this last aspect, farm animals rejected the stored grains infected by Stenocarpella and their nutritional value is diminished [8]. Even more, S. maydis produces the diplodiatoxin a mycotoxin associated with different ailments in domestic ruminants, ducks, chickens, and horses [4–6]. The biological control of ear rot has scarcely been studied, with one report of isolation and utilization of actinomycetes at the experimental level, focused on strains of the Streptomyces genus with the potential to be used in the field [12].…”

Stenocarpella maydis and Stenocarpella macrospora are the causal agents of ear rot in corn, which is one of the most destructive diseases in this crop worldwide. These fungi are important mycotoxin producers that cause different pathologies in farmed animals and represent an important risk for humans. In this work, 160 strains were isolated from soil of corn crops of which 10 showed antifungal activity against these phytopathogens, which, were identified as: Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas spp., Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pantoea agglomerans by sequencing of 16S rRNA gene and the phylogenetic analysis. From cultures of each strain, extracellular filtrates were obtained and assayed to determine antifungal activity. The best filtrates were obtained in the stationary phase of B. subtilis cultures that were stable to the temperature and extreme pH values; in addition they did not show a cytotoxicity effect against brine shrimp and inhibited germination of conidia. The bacteria described in this work have the potential to be used in the control of white ear rot disease.

“…Maize infected by S. maydis causes "eld outbreak of a mycotoxicosis known as diplodiosis, which is characterized by neurological disturbances such as ataxia, paresis, and paralysis and also liver damage in the animals fed on infected crops (Kellerman et al, 1985). The toxic e!ect of crude fungal extract was reported in ducklings, broilers (Rabie et al, 1987) chickens (Blaney et al, 1981), and horses (Kellerman et al, 1985). Consumption of food products derived from infected crop may be risky to humans (Kuiper-Goodman, 1991).…”
