Metarhizium robertsii ARSEF 23 Genome sequencing and assembly

2011
The Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences (SIBS), China in collaboration with BGI-SZ (China) is sequencing the Metarhizium anisopliae (aka Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae) strain ARSEF 23 genome at 100x coverage using whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing.

Zeolite substrate characterization for Metarhizium robertsii inoculation

Biointerphases
For this study, zeolite powder served as a substrate for inoculating Metarhizium robertsii to demonstrate the biocompatibility between the entomopathogenic fungus and the zeolite mineral, as the initial step in developing a biological control agent.

Efficacy and Ultrastructural Impact of Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium robertsii on Myllocerus subfasciatus

Journal of Basic Microbiology
ABSTRACTThe ash weevil, Myllocerus subfasciatus, is a significant insect pest that infests brinjal. Both the adults and grubs feed on the leaves and roots, respectively, leading to considerable yield loss. The subterranean habits of the larvae limit the effectiveness of insecticide applications, necessitating the implementation of integrated pest ...

Phospholipid homeostasis maintains cell polarity, development and virulence in metarhizium robertsii

Environmental Microbiology, 2016
Summary The final product of the glycerol phosphate (GP) pathway is triacylglycerol (TAG) that regulates the homeostasis of energy, fatty acids and phospholipids in cells. The enzymes involved in this pathway have been characterized in many model organisms; however, their contributions to fungal infection are ...

Localization of the insect pathogenic fungal plant symbionts Metarhizium robertsii and Metarhizium brunneum in bean and corn roots

Fungal Biology, 2020
Metarhizium is an insect pathogenic fungus and a plant root symbiont. Here the root association patterns (rhizoplane or endophytic colonization) were analyzed in common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and sweet corn (Zea mays) using M. robertsii and M. brunneum under various vermiculite treatments (control, with sucrose, with an insect) at two time points ...

Biosynthesis of non-melanin pigment by a divergent polyketide synthase in Metarhizium robertsii

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2015
Fungal polyketide synthases (PKSs) and their related gene clusters are highly diversified at both inter- and intra-specific levels. The most well characterized PKS enzymes include those responsible for the biosynthesis of polyketide pigments such as melanins.

Overexpression of a Metarhizium robertsii HSP25 gene increases thermotolerance and survival in soil

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2013
Temperature extremes are an important adverse factor limiting the effectiveness of microbial pest control agents. They reduce virulence and persistence in the plant root-colonizing insect pathogen Metarhizium robertsii. Small heat shock proteins have been shown to confer thermotolerance in many organisms.

Mass Production of Entomopathogenic Fungi, Metarhizium robertsii and Metarhizium pinghaense, for Commercial Application Against Insect Pests.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE, 2022
Entomopathogenic fungi of the Metarhizium anisopliae species complex have gained importance as the biological control agents of agricultural insect pests. The increase in pest resistance to chemical insecticides, the growing concerns regarding the negative effects of insecticides on human health, and the environmental pollution from pesticides have led

Culture of Metarhizium robertsii on salicylic-acid supplemented medium induces increased conidial thermotolerance

Fungal Biology, 2012
Salicylic acid (SA), a cell-signaling metabolite in plants, is involved in resistance of plants to pathogens and environmental stresses; however, there is little information available on the responses of fungi to SA. Conidia of Metarhizium robertsii (ARSEF 2575) (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) were produced on potato dextrose agar medium plus yeast ...

THE EVOLUTIONARY TRAJECTORY OF METARHIZIUM ROBERTSII ENDOPHYTIC CAPABILITY AND ENTOMOPATHOGENICITY

Metarhizium fungi are a keystone genus of soil-inhabiting ascomycetes providing essential ecosystem services as saprotrophs, plant symbionts and insect pathogens, among other roles. Recent studies have looked at how Metarhizium niches have evolved and shaped genome evolution over large time scales within the Metarhizium genus.
