Endobacteria Have a Negative Effect on the Virulence of Metarhizium [PDF]
Most 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.

Photobiology of the keystone genus Metarhizium
Metarhizium fungi are soil-inhabiting ascomycetes which are saprotrophs, symbionts of plants, pathogens of insects, and participate in other trophic/ecological interactions, thereby performing multiple essential ecosystem services.

Response of Fungal Communities to Anthropogenic Disturbances in a Tropical Forest [PDF]
ABSTRACT 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.

Conned by the enemy: the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae lures and kills Drosophila suzukii [PDF]
Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens [PDF]
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 ...

Metarhizium alvesii sp. nov.: A new member of the Metarhizium anisopliae species complex [PDF]
A strain within the Metarhizium anisopliae species complex was isolated in 2009 from a soil sample in a banana plantation in the municipality of Quixeré, Northeastern region of Brazil. Previous studies showed that this insect-pathogenic strain does not fit with any current taxon within the M.
