Susceptibility of Myzus persicae, Brevicoryne brassicae and Nasonovia ribisnigri to fungal biopesticides in laboratory and field experiments [PDF]
, 2020 The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) for the control of aphid pests of field vegetable crops. Four biopesticides based on the EPF Beauveria bassiana (Botanigard ES and Naturalis L), Cordyceps fumosorosea s.l.

Surface tension propulsion of fungal spores [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009 SUMMARYMost basidiomycete fungi actively eject their spores. The process begins with the condensation of a water droplet at the base of the spore. The fusion of the droplet onto the spore creates a momentum that propels the spore forward. The use of surface tension for spore ejection offers a new paradigm to perform work at small length scales. However,

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2022 Microbial biofouling on polymer surfaces can lead to their biodeterioration. This may result in deterioration of the surface, leading to cracking and fracturing. Fungal spores from Aspergillus niger 1957, Aspergillus niger 1988 and Aureobasidium pullulans were tested ...

First report of entomopathogenic fungi, Aspergillus tamarii (Eurotiales: Trichocomaceae) on Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) larvae [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2023 A fungus isolated from mango wasp was found to be pathogenic to houseflies. The isolated fungus was identified as Aspergillus tamarii using morphological characteristics and by comparative nucleotide sequence analysis of ITS regions.
