A novel cascade allows Metarhizium robertsii to distinguish cuticle and hemocoel microenvironments during infection of insects

PLoS Biology, 2021
Pathogenic fungi precisely respond to dynamic microenvironments during infection, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii is a representative fungus in which to study broad themes of ...

Conservative production of galactosaminogalactan in Metarhizium is responsible for appressorium mucilage production and topical infection of insect hosts

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
The exopolysaccharide galactosaminogalactan (GAG) has been well characterized in Aspergilli, especially the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. It has been found that a five-gene cluster is responsible for GAG biosynthesis in Aspergilli to mediate ...

DISTRIBUTION OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGI IN SOILS OF CATTLE FARMS AND FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR PRESENCE IN THE MEXICAN TROPICS

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2020
Background. Ticks are one of the main threats that affect cattle production in Mexico. In the ecosystems, these parasites are naturally regulated by microorganisms such as entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) and bacteria, wich are capable of causing them ...

Variability in the insect and plant adhesins, Mad1 and Mad2, within the fungal genus metarhizium suggest plant adaptation as an evolutionary force. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Several species of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium are associated with certain plant types and genome analyses suggested a bifunctional lifestyle; as an insect pathogen and as a plant symbiont.
