Abstract

The viruses that infect fungi are called mycoviruses, and they were initially discovered in mushrooms. The prevalence of new mycoviruses has increased due to breakthroughs in sequencing methods. As a result, publicly accessible genomic sources provide access to several mycoviral transcripts. Genomic information alone is insufficient for comprehending the impacts of mycoviruses on their host fungus. Mycovirus can have a variety of phenotypic impacts on its host. For biological characterization, there is a need to determine the nature of the mycovirus, which may be hypovirulent, hypervirulent, or cryptic. Mycoviruses best characteristics are biological control of fungi and therapeutic potential. Currently, there is no standard method used against the mycoviral infection. Given the importance of mycoviral curing, we may prepare the isogenic lines. Single-spore isolation generally yields high success rates and is recommended as a first-choice approach for most fungal; system for the preparation of isogenic lines. In order to obtain reliable results, the study of mycovirology should also employ modern bioinformatics techniques to anticipate virus-specific antiviral properties.

Abstract

Differences in the polarity of solvents used in extraction significantly affect the inhibitory power and types of compounds identified. The aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effectiveness of clove leaf extract extracted with different solvents, namely methanol (polar) and hexane (non-polar), on the growth of Sclerotium rolfsii fungus. The research methods included: extraction of clove leaf extract with methanol and hexane solvents, and testing the inhibitory power of crude methanol and hexane extracts using the well diffusion method. The effectiveness of clove leaf extract on the growth of S.rolfsii fungal colonies was tested using the colony method and biomass test. The results showed that the inhibitory power of crude clove leaf extract, tested separately with methanol and hexane solvents, each with an inhibition zone diameter of 40 mm (very strong inhibition) and  0 mm (no inhibition). The results extract tests on the growth of S.rolfsii fungal colonies showed that a 2 % methanol extract concentration was able to inhibit 100 % of S.rolfsii fungal colony growth.The results of the activity test of clove leaf methanol extract on the growth of fungal biomass S.rolfsii showed 100 % inhibition at a concentration of  1.5 %. The clove leaf methanol extract showed very strong inhibition, while the hexane extract showed no inhibition against S.rolfsii fungal growth.
