Journal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 131, Issue 1, Page 307-320, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim Granule‐based products of solid state fermented micro‐organisms are available for biocontrol. Because liquid fermentation has several advantages, we investigated fluid‐bed coating with liquid fermented biomass. Methods and Results Biomass containing mycelium or mycelium and submerged spores of the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium ...

Biological Control, 2009 Abstract When dried organisms are immersed in water, rapid imbibition may cause severe damage to plasma membranes; in unicellular organisms, such damage is usually lethal. This study investigated effects of water activity (dryness) of organisms and immersion temperature on imbibitional damage in three insect pathogenic fungi.

The adenylate cyclase gene MaAC is required for virulence and multi-stress tolerance of Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2012 Abstract Background The efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi in pest control is mainly affected by various adverse environmental factors, such as heat shock and UV-B radiation, and by responses of the host insect, such as oxidative stress, osmotic stress and fever.

BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF Metarhizium anisopliae VAR acridum INFECTION IN THE DESERT LOCUST, Schistocerca gregaria FORSKAL [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2009 Fifth instar nymphs of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria Forskal were topically treated with 5µl of an oil-based spore suspension of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var acridum. Haemolymph samples were collected from both control

Production of destruxins from Metarhizium spp. fungi in artificial medium and in endophytically colonized cowpea plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Destruxins (DTXs) are cyclic depsipeptides produced by many Metarhizium isolates that have long been assumed to contribute to virulence of these entomopathogenic fungi.

Exposure ofMetarhizium acridummycelium to light induces tolerance to UV-B radiation [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2016 Metarhizium acridum is an entomopathogenic fungus commonly used as a bioinsecticide. The conidium is the fungal stage normally employed as field inoculum in biological control programs and must survive under field conditions such as high ultraviolet-B (UV-B) exposure.
