Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens. [PDF]
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...

Transformations of Steroids by Beauveria bassiana
The course of transformations of testosterone and its derivatives, including compounds with an additional C1,C2 double bond and/or a 17α-methyl group, a 17β-acetyl group or without a 19-methyl group, by a Beauveria bassiana culture was investigated. The fungi promoted hydroxylation of these compounds at position 11α, oxidation of the 17β-hydroxyl group,

Exploiting the behaviour of wild malaria vectors to achieve high infection with fungal biocontrol agents [PDF]
Background Control of mosquitoes that transmit malaria has been the mainstay in the fight against the disease, but alternative methods are required in view of emerging insecticide resistance.

Noninvolvement of beauvericin in the entomopathogenicity of Beauveria bassiana [PDF]
Development of a microbiological autobiographic assay procedure permitted a detailed investigation of the possible role of beauvericin (a toxic ionophoric antibiotic produced by Beauveria bassiana) in the entomopathogenicity of B. bassiana against corn earworm (Heliothis zea) larvae. Analysis of spent media of B.

Molecular Analysis of Hypervirulent Somatic Hybrids of the Entomopathogenic Fungi Beauveria bassiana and Beauveria sulfurescens [PDF]
ABSTRACT Protoplast fusion of diauxotrophic mutants of a Beauveria bassiana entomopathogenic strain (Bb28) and a Beauveria sulfurescens toxinogenic strain (Bs2) produced hybrids which were significantly different from the parents in pathogenicity.

First report of the infection of insecticide-resistant malaria vector mosquitoes with an entomopathogenic fungus under field conditions. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-resistant mosquitoes are compromising the ability of current mosquito control tools to control malaria vectors. A proposed new approach for mosquito control is to use entomopathogenic fungi.

Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.
