Intracellular siderophore but not extracellular siderophore is required for full virulence in Metarhizium robertsii

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2015
Efficient iron acquisition mechanisms are fundamental for microbial survival in the environment and for pathogen virulence within their hosts. M. robertsii produces two known iron-binding natural products: metachelins, which are used to scavenge extracellular iron, and ferricrocin, which is strictly intracellular.

Enhanced Cd efflux capacity and physiological stress resistance: The beneficial modulations of Metarhizium robertsii on plants under cadmium stress.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2022
Due to the high migration capacity in agricultural soil-crop systems, cadmium (Cd) is accumulated in various crops and severely inhibits plant growth.

Estradiol improves tributyltin degradation by the filamentous fungus Metarhizium robertsii

International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2015
Tributyltin chloride (TBT) is a toxic and persistent organic pollutant that is extensively employed in a variety of industrial products. TBT, an endocrine disrupting chemical, disturbs lipids homeostasis in living cells and is responsible for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), which affect cell viability.

Utilization of plant-derived sugars and lipids are coupled during colonization of rhizoplane and rhizosphere by the fungus Metarhizium robertsii.

Fungal Genetics and Biology
Plant-derived sugars and lipids are key nutritional sources for plant associated fungi. However, the relationship between utilization of host-derived sugars and lipids during development of the symbiotic association remains unknown. Here we show that the

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 ...

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.

Identification of a hybrid PKS–NRPS required for the biosynthesis of NG-391 in Metarhizium robertsii

Current Genetics, 2010
The fungal entomopathogen Metarhizium robertsii (formerly known as M. anisopliae var. anisopliae) is a prolific producer of secondary metabolites of which very little is known at the genetic level. To establish the genetic bases for the biosynthesis of the mutagenic compound NG- 391, we identified a 19,818 kb genomic region harboring the predicted ...

The homeobox transcription factor MrHOX7 contributes to stress tolerance and virulence in the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii.

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
Entomopathogenic fungi, including Metarhizium species, represent promising environmentally friendly biopesticides. Understanding the molecular mechanisms governing their infection processes is vital for enhancing their effectiveness.

MrBZIP, a MrWETA-interacting transcription factor, mediates oxidative and heat stress tolerance in conidia of Metarhizium robertsii.

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
Wide application of biopesticides which utilize Metarhizium robertsii conidia as active ingredients is restrained by conidial stress tolerance. Recent research revealed that MrWETA is involved in conidiation, conidial maturation and virulence in M ...

Divergent immune strategies of Colorado potato beetle larvae against the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassiana: A comparative transcriptomic analysis

Insect molecular biology (Print)
The entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium robertsii are natural pathogens of the Colorado potato beetle (CPB) and hold promise for biocontrol. However, the insect's immune responses to fungal infections remain poorly understood.
