A study was conducted to investigate the potential of  Aspergillus terreus  obtained from  Avicennia marina  mangrove roots in inhibiting  Pythium aphanidermatum  and damping-off disease of cucumber.  Aspergillus terreus  exhibited in vitro inhibition of  Pythium aphanidermatum  growth. Electron microscope examination revealed that the antagonistic fungal isolate resulted in shrinking and groves in  Pythium  hypha. When  Aspergillus terreus  culture filtrate was added to  Pythium aphanidermatum , it resulted in a significant increase (by 73%) in electrolyte leakage from  Pythium  hypha compared to the control, as well as significant reduction (by 71%) in oospore production. The  Aspergillus terreus  culture was also found to produce a cellulase enzyme, which is suggested to be involved in the antagonism against  Pythium aphanidermatum . Adding  Aspergillus terreus  to soil infested with  Pythium aphanidermatum  significantly reduced percent mortality in cucumber seedlings by 70%.  Aspergillus terreus , when applied alone on cucumber seedlings, did not show any suppressive effects on cucumber growth (length and fresh and dry weight). This appears to be the first report of isolation from mangrove of  Aspergillus terreus  with antagonistic activity against  Pythium aphanidermatum -induced damping-off of cucumber. The study indicates that fungal isolates obtained from marine environments may serve as potential biocontrol agents against some plant pathogens.
