Endobacteria Have a Negative Effect on the Virulence of Metarhizium [PDF]
Journal of FungiMost organisms are associated with microorganisms, which influence their behavior during their life cycles. Fungi are no exception; they interact with plants, viruses, and bacteria in various environments, forming complex communities.

Response of Fungal Communities to Anthropogenic Disturbances in a Tropical Forest. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Conversion of forests to agricultural land leads to a decline in soil biodiversity and it affects the ecosystem services that they provide. The rising population around Mt. Kenya forest and an increase in demand for land and forest resources has led to deforestation. However, the impact on fungal communities remains unknown.

Mode of Infection of Metarhizium spp. Fungus and Their Potential as Biological Control Agents
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2017 Chemical insecticides have been commonly used to control agricultural pests, termites, and biological vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks. However, the harmful impacts of toxic chemical insecticides on the environment, the development of resistance in ...

Endophytic fungi as biological control agents and their indirect effects on plants
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2021 The use of entomopathogenic fungi represents one of the most important non-chemical alternatives for pest control in crop production. In addition to their pathogenicity to arthropods, they have many other important effects that favor their use in ...

Conidia of the insect pathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, fail to adhere to mosquito larval cuticle [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2014 Adhesion of conidia of the insect pathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, to the arthropod host cuticle initially involves hydrophobic forces followed by consolidation facilitated by the action of extracellular enzymes and secretion of mucilage.
