AIM:

Isolation and mass multiplication of Trichoderma viride.

Indroduction

Trichoderma Viride is mainly used in biofertilizer as biocontrol agent for plant pathogenic diseases and for their ability to increases root growth and development crop production in plant.


It is used for seed and soil treatment for suppression of various diseases caused by fungal growth .

Need of Project

In Vigyan Ashram Trichoderma Viride as biofertilizer is available but now we are trying we do mass multiplication to produce in large scale.

Objective:

To isolation Trichoderma viride

To mass multiply strain of Trichoderma viride

Step 1:

Tamarind seeds content mostly starch and polysaccharides. These starch and carbohydrates support good growth of fungus. The tamarind seed coat content polyphenols which has antimicrobial properties. Tamarind seeds are support very good growth of fungus like Trichoderma.

chemical constituents tamarind seed powder include as below:

Carbohydrate – 73.68

Protein – 14.38

Ash – 3.28

Moisture – 8.67

Procedure:

1.Take 50gm tamarind seeds in a conical flask and soak in tap water for overnight.

2.Next day autoclave the flask at 121 degree C temp and 15 lb pressure for15 min.

I got idea to use plastic tray because each low cost and ease availed to farmers.

  • Using 6 conical flask (500 ml capacity). I soak 50 gm. tamarind seed in each flask overnight.
  • Then we dispose the water from each flask.
  • We sterilize every each flask in autoclave 121 degree C for 15 min by using autoclave.
  • Then we sterilize plastic trey by using sodium hypochlorite washing and UV treatment.
  • I transfer all tamarind seed into tray and added Trichoderma viride stain availed in soil lab and covered tray with aluminum foil to prevent contamination.
  • And incubate for 5-6 days.
  • After 5-6 days we observed green color layer of growth of Trichoderma viride.

Isolation of Trichoderma from soil.

Soil is collected from polyhouse .

Serial Dilution Plate Techniques :

Trichoderma isolated from soil sample by using serial dilution plate techniques were grow on potato dextrose agar media for proper isolation. Stock culture of sample is prepared by dissolving 1g of soil sample into 9 ml of D.W . Next serial dilution of sample were prepared as 10-1   10-2    …….10-10 .

We order Trichoderma Viride strain from NCIM (National Collection of Industrial Microorganism) .It took around one month (30 July-30 Aug) arrived in Vigyan Ashram.

Till then arrived strain from NCIM we utilized in house strain available in Vigyan Ashram.

Date:06/09/2021

After receiving strain from NCLM first trail done by Sonal Shinde mam and plate got contaminated due to handling error ( sub culturing was done using slant obtain form strain on PDA with petri plates).

Date:15/09/2021

On our second trail we followed the same procedure and didn’t get any contamination. And 5-6 days we observed 75% growth in petri plates.

Date:20/09/2021

Now I did third attempted obtain by using from second attempt sub culturing (by using 4Th quadrant method).

I incubate the petri plates for 5-6 days then I got 100 % strain growth and my observation are as following days

Second day we observed white growth.

On fourth day color change to light green.

On 6th day it mature with dark green color.

4. Using Wire loop scarch the Trichoderma viride strain mix into the tamarind seed with made in pressure cooker.

5.Now we will remove pressure cooker whistle in place of whistle insert rubber tube and cap it of using pvc hollow tube around 2 inch on the rubber tube and plug it using sterile cotton plug.

6.Now will keep the cooker without disturbing it for 5 days for multiplication of fungus.

Date:28/09/2021:

Result:

No growth is observed in cooker.

 Using plastic tray (master tray)

1.After strile tamarind seed we can master tray/ plastic tray to grow the trichoderma viride strain.

2.Wash the trey with sodium hypochoride after the wash sterile in UV for 15 min.

3.Then we transfer strile tamarind seed from pressure cooker in tray.

4.Using Wire loop scarch the Trichoderma viride strain mix into the tamarind seed in tray.

5.And trey cover with aluminum foil. Now will keep the tray without disturbing it for 5 days for multiplication of fungus.

MASS MULTIPLICATION OF TRICHODERMA VIIRIDE BY USING SUBMERGERED METHOD

 Submerged fermentation is the techniques of cultivation of microorganism in liquid broth which breaks down the nutrient to release the desired bio-active compound into solution. In this method, selected microorganism are grown in closed vessels containing a broth rich in nutrients and high concentration of oxygen. In SmF substrate are utilized quite rapidly hence need to be constantly replaced or supplemented with nutrients 

Material:-

Potato Dextrose Broth

Trichoderma viride strain

Procedure:

  • Take approximately 4 potatoes and weigh it .
  • Wash it and boil and remove peels and oven dry it at 60 degree for 4-5 hours .
  • After drying , grind it using grinder and make fine powder .
  • Add 50 g of potato infusion powder to 200 ml D/W.
  • Add 10 g of dextrose to it . And your broth is ready .
  • Then we add Trichoderma viride strain in broth and keep it on rotary shaker for 5/6 days.

After 5-6 days. This liquid broth was used for field trials in Vigyan Ashram.

Calculation Of CFU of Trichoderma viride powder by using powder.

What is CFU?
A colony-forming unit (CFU,)is a unit used in microbiology to estimate the number of viable bacteria or fungal cells in a sample. . The visual appearance of a colony in a cell culture requires significant growth, and when counting colonies it is uncertain if the colony arose from one cell or a group of cells.

10 test-tube were prepared using serial dilution technique by using Trichoderma viride powder .

10-8 , 10-9 , 10-10 dilutions were spread on sterile PDA agar plates . these plates were incubated for 72-96 hours for optimum growth

After 4 days optimum growth was observed and CFU count was taken by using colony counter .

The CFU/ml can be calculated using the formula

CFU/ml = (no. of colonies x dilution factor) / volume of culture plate.

CFU count of Trichoderma viride powder is 2.5 x 1012.
