Cascade biotransformation of estrogens by Isaria fumosorosea KCh J2. [PDF]
AbstractEstrone, estradiol, ethynylestradiol and estrone 3-methyl ether underwent a biotransformation process in the submerged culture of Isaria fumosorosea KCh J2. Estrone was transformed into seven metabolites, four of which were glycosylated. Estradiol was selectively glycosylated at C-3 and then transformed to D-ring lactone.

Expression of dsRNA in recombinant Isaria fumosorosea strain targets the TLR7 gene in Bemisia tabaci. [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi) technology shows a great potential in controlling agricultural pests, despite the difficulty of introducing exogenous dsRNA/siRNA into target pests. Isaria fumosorosea is a common fungal pathogen of the B-biotype Bemisia tabaci (whitefly), which is a widespread pest.

An Ecological Assessment of Isaria fumosorosea Applications Compared to a Neonicotinoid Treatment for Regulating Invasive Ficus Whitefly. [PDF]
A pilot study was conducted on a weeping fig, Ficus benjamina shrub hedge in a Florida urban landscape to determine the efficacy of a fungal biopesticide, PFR-97™ which contains blastospores of Isaria fumosorosea, and a neonicotinoid treatment (Admire Pro™) applied against the invasive ficus whitefly pest, Singhiella simplex (Singh). Post treatment, an

Microbial antibiotics take the lead in the fight against plant pathogens
The potential of plant microbiome for the development of novel biopesticides for the integrated pest management of agricultural crops. Abstract The plant microbiome is essential for plant fitness and health. Antibiotics produced by plant‐associated bacteria have been shown to play an important role in protecting plant hosts against phytopathogens. Here,
