Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.
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 ...

Origin and characterization of cyclodepsipeptides: Comprehensive structural approaches with focus on mass spectrometry analysis of alkali‐cationized molecular species

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 44, Issue 6, Page 1013-1098, November/December 2025.
Abstract Cyclodepsipeptides (CDPs) represent a huge family of chemically and structurally diverse molecules with a wide ability for molecular interactions. CDPs are cyclic peptide‐related natural products made up of both proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic amino acids linked by amide and ester bonds.

Sustainable control of Dalbulus maidis: A field study with entomopathogenic fungi

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1156-1164, November 2025.
Dalbulus maidis, a plant pathogen vector, poses a serious threat to maize production and food security. We investigated the potential synergistic effects between formulations based on entomopathogenic fungi and corn hybrids with varying resistance to maize stunt complex and Maize rayado fino virus. The combined management of M. anisopliae + B. bassiana

Enniatin Mycotoxins in Food: A Systematic Review of Global Occurrence, Biosynthesis, and Toxicological Impacts on In Vitro Human Cell Models

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 5, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Enniatins (ENNs) are emerging mycotoxins mainly produced by Fusarium species. They frequently contaminate cereals and cereal‐based products. Despite their widespread occurrence, these mycotoxins are not yet regulated, but concerns about their potential health effects due to dietary exposure exist.

Vertical Zonal Distribution Patterns of Entomopathogenic Fungi in the Changbai Mountain

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) distribution was divided into high‐ and low‐elevation patterns. EPF species diversity in the same vegetation belt was unaffected by altitude. EPF tended to evolve toward broadleaved forest habitats. ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are critical drivers of ecosystem processes such as pest regulation and material cycling.
