The genome sequence of the biocontrol fungus Metarhizium anisopliae and comparative genomics of Metarhizium species [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2014 Metarhizium anisopliae is an important fungal biocontrol agent of insect pests of agricultural crops. Genomics can aid the successful commercialization of biopesticides by identification of key genes differentiating closely related species, selection of virulent microbial isolates which are amenable to industrial scale production and formulation and ...

Impact of water relations on the production, ecological fitness and stability of the biocontrol fungus Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
, 2004 The aim of this work was the production of high numbers of propagules of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae with high germination capacity under low water availability, good storage stability and enhanced pathogenicity.

Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore-Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

Metarhizium alvesii sp. nov.: A new member of the Metarhizium anisopliae species complex [PDF]
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2018 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.

Cellular immune response of Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma americanum to entomopathogenic fungi: Implications for biological tick control. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolAmblyomma sculptum showed a plasmatocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana increased plasmatocytes and reduced granulocytes, whereas Metarhizium robertsii did not cause significant changes. Amblyomma americanum showed a granulocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana reduced total haemocytes and granulocytes. B.
