Ethanol Dehydrogenase I Contributes to Growth and Sporulation Under Low Oxygen Condition via Detoxification of Acetaldehyde in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The entomopathogenic fungi encounter hypoxic conditions in both nature and artificial culture. Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are a group of oxidoreductases that occur in many organisms.

Disruption of a C69-Family Cysteine Dipeptidase Gene Enhances Heat Shock and UV-B Tolerances in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In fungi, peptidases play a crucial role in adaptability. At present, the roles of peptidases in ultraviolet (UV) and thermal tolerance are still unclear. In this study, a C69-family cysteine dipeptidase of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum,

Insect hosts are nutritional landscapes navigated by fungal pathogens. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Nutrition can mediate host–pathogen interactions indirectly when specific deficiencies (e.g., iron or glutamine) constrain host immune performance. Nutrition can also directly govern these interactions as invading pathogens colonize finite landscapes of nutritionally variable host tissues that must be optimally foraged during pathogen ...

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 ...
