Summary
Trichoderma viride was found to be parasitic on three species of Aspergillus. The mycoparasitism was characterized by frequent coiling, penetration and hyphal growth of the parasite inside the conidiophores of Aspergillus. The volatile and non-volatile metabolites ofT. viride, more or less, inhibited radial growth of all the testAspergillus spp.
