Impact of water relations on the production, ecological fitness and stability of the biocontrol fungus Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
, 2004 The aim of this work was the production of high numbers of propagules of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae with high germination capacity under low water availability, good storage stability and enhanced pathogenicity.

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.

FIELD TRIALS WITH CERTAIN ENTOMOPATHOGENS AND INSECTICIDES AGAINST BERSEEM GRASSHOPPER Euprepocnemis plorans (CHARP.) (ORTOPTERA: ACRIDIDAE) [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2015 Three field trials were conducted to evaluate three entomopathogens (Metarhizium acridum, Beauveria bassiana and Nosema locustae) and two chemical insecticides (Indoxacarb and Fipronil) against berseem grasshoppers Euprepocnemis plorans (Charp.). Results

A Mutant of Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum with Enhanced Submerged Conidiation [PDF]
World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2006 An insertional mutant of Metarhizium anisopliae is described with enhanced submerged conidiation. In a 500 ml submerged culture, this mutant produces a mean of 4.05 × 108 propagules ml−1 from an inoculum of 1 × 106 conidia, where the parental strain accumulates only 3.75 × 104 propagules ml−1.

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 1438-1454, October 2023., 2023 Exploring the intricate world of host–pathogen interactions, our study delves into the diverse landscape of Metarhizium acridum, a specialist fungal entomopathogen. By dissecting patterns of virulence, growth dynamics, and genomic variability across its geographic distribution, we unveil compelling evidence of intraspecific diversity.
