Tools for delivering entomopathogenic fungi to malaria mosquitoes: effects of delivery surfaces on fungal efficacy and persistence. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND\ud \ud Entomopathogenic fungi infection on malaria vectors increases daily mortality rates and thus represents a control measure that could be used in integrated programmes alongside insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) and indoor residual ...

Natural prevalence of entomopathogenic fungi in hibernating pupae of Cameraria ohridella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) and virulence of selected isolates

Plant Protection Science, 2016
Spontaneous infection of hibernating Cameraria ohridella pupae by entomopathogenic fungi was monitored at two localities of south-western Slovakia and efficacy of selected fungal isolates against the pupae was evaluated in laboratory.

Characterization of a new strain of Metarhizium novozealandicum with potential to be developed as a biopesticide

Mycology, 2021
The fungal species Metarhizium novozealandicum, that occurs only in New Zealand and Australia has been poorly studied.  In this work, a new strain of M. novozealandicum isolated from a larva of Wiseana sp.

Morphological, Pathogenic and Toxigenic Variability in the Rice Sheath Rot Pathogen Sarocladium Oryzae [PDF]

, 2020
Sheath rot is an emerging rice disease that leads to considerable yield losses. The main causal agent is the fungus Sarocladium oryzae. This pathogen is known to produce the toxins cerulenin and helvolic acid, but their role in pathogenicity has not been

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 ...

Mechanism study of alachlor biodegradation by Paecilomycesmarquandii with proteomic and metabolomic methods [PDF]

, 2015
Alachlor is an herbicide that is widely used worldwide to protect plant crops against broadleaf weedsand annual grasses. However, due to its endocrine-disrupting activity, its application had been bannedin the European Union.

Insecticidal cyclodepsipeptides from Metarhizium anisopliae

Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1, 1989
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the culture broth of Metarhizium anisopliae resulted in the isolation of 10 insecticidal cyclodepsipeptides–the destruxins, including two new compounds, destruxin E2 and chlorohydrin. Complete 1H and 13C n.m.r. assignments for the major destruxins, A and B, by various 1 D and 2D n.m.r.

Metarhizium robertsii produces an extracellular invertase (MrINV) that plays a pivotal role in rhizospheric interactions and root colonization. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
As well as killing pest insects, the rhizosphere competent insect-pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii also boosts plant growth by providing nitrogenous nutrients and increasing resistance to plant pathogens. Plant roots secrete abundant nutrients but

Metarhizium anisopliae enzymes and toxins

Toxicon, 2010
Entomopathogenic fungi are both a feasible system for the control of insect pests in agriculture with a growing market and an important model for studies of host-pathogen interaction. In the last ten years the actual use of fungi, mainly Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana, is increasing reaching commercial scale in Countries like Brazil ...

Abscisic acid implicated in differential plant responses of Phaseolus vulgaris during endophytic colonization by Metarhizium and pathogenic colonization by Fusarium

Scientific Reports, 2021
Metarhizium robertsii is an insect pathogen as well as an endophyte, and can antagonize the phytopathogen, Fusarium solani during bean colonization. However, plant immune responses to endophytic colonization by Metarhizium are largely unknown. We applied
