Functional and characteristic analysis of an appressorium-specific promoter PMagas1 in Metarhizium acridum

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2021
Entomopathogenic fungi have been used as important biological control agents throughout the world. To improve the biocontrol efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi, many genes have been used to improve fungal virulence or tolerance to adverse conditions via modulating their expression with strong promoters.

Tetracarboxylic acid transporter regulates growth, conidiation, and carbon utilization in Metarhizium acridum

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2023
Carbon sources and their utilization are vital for fungal growth and development. C4-dicarboxylic acids are important carbon and energy sources that function as intermediate products of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Transport and regulation of C4-dicarboxylic acid uptake are mainly dependent on tetracarboxylic acid transporters (Dcts) in many microbes,

Study of the persistence and viability of Metarhizium acridum in Mexico’s agricultural area

Aerobiologia, 2012
Locust is one of the most predominant agricultural pests in Mexico, followed by non-migratory grasshoppers. Their devastating effects cover numerous Mexican states, generating important economic losses. Metarhizium acridum (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) has been employed in Mexico as a microbial agent for biological control for some time.

Arginine metabolism governs microcycle conidiation by changing nitric oxide content in Metarhizium acridum

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2023
Microcycle conidiation commonly exists in filamentous fungi and has great potential for mass production of mycoinsecticides. L-Arginine metabolism is essential for conidiation and conditional growth and virulence, but its role in microcycle conidiation has not been explored.

Transformation of glycerate kinase (GLYK) into Metarhizium acridum increases virulence to locust

Pest Management Science, 2020
AbstractBACKGROUNDImprovements in the virulence of the fungal pathogen Metarhizium acridum can crucially promote its efficacy to control locusts and grasshoppers. The polysaccharide components of the cell wall remarkably contribute to fungal virulence.RESULTSHere we found that M.

Mapmi gene contributes to stress tolerance and virulence of the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium acridum

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2011
Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) catalyzes the reversible interconversion of fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) and mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P), providing a link between glycolysis and the mannose metabolic pathway. In this study, we identified pmi gene (Mapmi) from the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium acridum, and analyzed its functions using RNA ...

Wright–Giemsa staining to observe phagocytes in Locusta migratoria infected with Metarhizium acridum

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2016
Hemocytes are the first line of defense in the invertebrate immune system. Understanding their roles in cellular immunity is important for developing more efficient mycoinsecticides. However, the exact classification of hemocytes has been inconsistent and the various types of phagocytes in Locusta migratoria are poorly defined.

N-terminal zinc fingers of MaNCP1 contribute to growth, stress tolerance, and virulence in Metarhizium acridum

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2022
C2H2 zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) are a class of important transcriptional regulators in eukaryotes involved in multiple biological regulation processes. Here, MaNCP1, a C2H2 ZFP, was functionally characterized in the model entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum.
