PLoS Pathogens, 2011 An enduring theme in pathogenic microbiology is poor understanding of the mechanisms of host specificity. Metarhizium is a cosmopolitan genus of invertebrate pathogens that contains generalist species with broad host ranges such as M. robertsii (formerly

Differential expression of the pr1A gene in Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium acridum across different culture conditions and during pathogenesis [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2015 The entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Metarhizium have several subtilisin-like proteases that are involved in pathogenesis and these have been used to investigate genes that are differentially expressed in response to different growth conditions.

The Forkhead Box Gene, MaSep1, Negatively Regulates UV- and Thermo-Tolerances and Is Required for Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Journal of FungiInsect pathogenic fungi have shown great potential in agricultural pest control. Conidiation is crucial for the survival of filamentous fungi, and dispersal occurs through two methods: normal conidiation, where conidia differentiate from mycelium, and ...

Dipeptidase PEPDA Is Required for the Conidiation Pattern Shift in Metarhizium acridum. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021 Conidia, as the asexual propagules in many fungi, are the start and end of the fungal life cycle. In entomopathogenic fungi, conidia are the infective form essential for their pathogenicity.

Members of chitin synthase family in Metarhizium acridum differentially affect fungal growth, stress tolerances, cell wall integrity and virulence. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Chitin is an important component of the fungal cell wall with a family of chitin synthases mediating its synthesis. Here, we report on the genetic characterization of the full suite of seven chitin synthases (MaChsI-VII) identified in the insect ...

MaPac2, a Transcriptional Regulator, Is Involved in Conidiation, Stress Tolerances and Pathogenicity in Metarhizium acridum. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel)The Gti1/Pac2 protein family, which is highly conserved across fungi, is pivotal in processes such as fungal development, spore formation, protein export, toxin production, and virulence. Despite its importance, the precise functions of Pac2 within entomopathogenic fungi have yet to be fully understood. In our study, the MaPac2 gene from M. acridum was

Compatibility between Chemical Insecticides and Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum
South Asian Journal of Research in Microbiology, 2021 The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum has been studied in different countries as mycoinsecticide against grasshoppers. One of the utilization strategies considered is the association between entomopathogenic fungi and sublethal dosages of chemical insecticides compatible with the biological control agent.
