Metarhizium acridum is a well-established specialist entomopathogenic fungus that primarily targets arthropods within the order Orthoptera. In this study, we investigated the genomic characteristics of a novel mycovirus infecting M. acridum, named "Metarhizium acridum unirnavirus 1" (MaUV1).

Design of an efficient fermentation process for the production of Metarhizium acridum blastospores
Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2016ABSTRACTUsing a sequential approach, we described efficient blastospore production in a stirred tank bioreactor (3 L capacity). We used the response surface methodology to optimise the media ingredients and fermentation parameters to obtain the maximum production of blastospores by a locally collected isolate of Metarhizium acridum (Ascomycota ...

Abstract A range of experiments was performed to establish optimum aeration and moisture content conditions for sporulation of Metarhizium anisopliae IMI330189 in solid substrate fermentation (SSF). The cultivation was performed in column bioreactors.

We describe a technique to detect the presence of airborne conidia from the fungus M.acridum (formerly Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum) (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) with great accuracy. Airborne conidia were collected using Hirst-type spore traps. DNA extractions were optimized to achieve the best possible recovery.

Metarhizium acridum exhibits a different conidial hydrophobicity than other insect-pathogenic fungi
Fungal BiologyMetarhizium acridum is an insect-pathogenic fungus with a narrow host range that is used to control grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets. Its conidia show impressive resilience against UV-B radiation and heat compared to other insect pathogens. Despite this high tolerance, M. acridum is notably susceptible to various chemical stressors.

Sho1 is an important membrane sensor upstream of the HOG-MAPK signaling pathway, which plays critical roles in osmotic pressure response, growth, and virulence in fungi. Here, a Sho1 homolog (MaSho1), containing four transmembrane domains and one Src homology (SH3) domain, was characterized in Metarhizium acridum, a fungal pathogen of locusts. Targeted

Possible source of the high UV-B and heat tolerance of Metarhizium acridum (isolate ARSEF 324)
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2018The isolate ARSEF 324 of Metarhizium acridum is very tolerant to UV-B radiation and heat, but the intrinsic traits behind the extreme tolerance of this isolate to both stress conditions have not been elucidated. Because trehalose and mannitol are documented stress reducers in fungi, we investigated the accumulation of these compounds in conidia of ...

The control of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) vector is often based on the application of chemical residual insecticide. However, this strategy has not been effective. The continuing search for an appropriate vector control may include the use of biological control. This study evaluates the effects of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var.

From 2002 to 2004, three field trials were conducted in Senegal to compare the efficacy of a new biopesticide for grasshopper control, based on the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum Driver & Milner, with mixtures of this biopesticide and cyhalothrin, a widely used pyrethroid insecticide to control the Senegalese grasshopper ...

Unveiling the functions of the
AbstractBACKGROUNDThe Lim‐domain binding protein PtaB, a homolog of Mfg1, governs conidiation and biofilm formation in several fungi. PtaB includes a conserved Lim‐binding domain and two predicted nuclear localization sequences at its C terminus, and is co‐regulated with the transcription factor Som1 downstream of the cyclic AMP‐dependent protein ...
