MaSln1, a Conserved Histidine Protein Kinase, Contributes to Conidiation Pattern Shift Independent of the MAPK Pathway in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 As a conserved sensor kinase in the HOG-MAPK pathway, Sln1 plays distinct functions in different fungi. In this study, the roles of MaSln1 in Metarhizium acridum were analyzed using gene knockout and rescue strategies.

MaNCP1, a C2H2 Zinc Finger Protein, Governs the Conidiation Pattern Shift through Regulating the Reductive Pathway for Nitric Oxide Synthesis in the Filamentous Fungus Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Asexual sporulation is the most common reproduction mode of fungi. Most filamentous fungi have two conidiation patterns, normal conidiation and microcycle conidiation, which may be regulated by nutritional conditions.

Transcriptional analysis of the conidiation pattern shift of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum in response to different nutrients. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2016 Most fungi, including entomopathogenic fungi, have two different conidiation patterns, normal and microcycle conidiation, under different culture conditions, eg, in media containing different nutrients. However, the mechanisms underlying the conidiation pattern shift are poorly understood.In this study, Metarhizium acridum undergoing microcycle ...

Dipeptidase PEPDA Is Required for the Conidiation Pattern Shift in Metarhizium acridum. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021 Conidia, as the asexual propagules in many fungi, are the start and end of the fungal life cycle. In entomopathogenic fungi, conidia are the infective form essential for their pathogenicity.
