Multi-Trait Biochemical Features of Metarhizium Species and Their Activities That Stimulate the Growth of Tomato Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020 The interaction between Metarhizium spp. and plant roots may induce host plant growth and help control below- and above-ground pests and diseases. We conducted in vivo and in vitro bioassays using native Brazilian isolates of Metarhizium robertsii (ESALQ

Isolation, morphological characterization, and screening virulence of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium robertsii fungal isolates in Galleria mellonella [version 4; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
F1000ResearchBackground Entomopathogenic fungi exists naturally in plants as an asymptote and have the potential to reduce the population of insect pests through indirect interactions. This study was conducted to detect and characterize the endophytic fungi Beauveria

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2019 The biogeography and genotype diversity of Metarhizium species in northwestern North American soils was examined; 20 ecoregions were sampled, including 58 agricultural and 80 natural habitat subsites, and areas that were glaciated during the Pleistocene epoch. One hundred and twenty-nine isolates of M. brunneum, 26 isolates of M.

Ultrastructural and Cytotoxic Effects of Metarhizium robertsii Infection on Rhipicephalus microplus Hemocytes. [PDF]
Front Physiol, 2019 Metarhizium is an entomopathogenic fungus widely employed in the biological control of arthropods. Hemocytes present in the hemolymph of invertebrates are the cells involved in the immune response of arthropods. Despite this, knowledge about Rhipicephalus microplus hemocytes morphological aspects as well as their role in response to the fungal ...

The SUMO gene MrSmt3 is involved in SUMOylation, conidiation and stress response in Metarhizium robertsii. [PDF]
Sci RepSmt3, as a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO), play an essential role in the regulation of protein SUMOylation, and thus this process can affect various important biological functions. Here, we investigated the roles of MrSmt3 (yeast SUMO/Smt3 homologs) in the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii.

Histone deacetylase HDAC3 regulates ergosterol production for oxidative stress tolerance in the entomopathogenic and endophytic fungus Metarhizium robertsii [PDF]
mSystemsOxidative stress is encountered by fungi in almost all niches, resulting in fungal degeneration or even death. Fungal tolerance to oxidative stress has been extensively studied, but the current understanding of the mechanisms regulating oxidative stress ...

A novel cascade allows Metarhizium robertsii to distinguish cuticle and hemocoel microenvironments during infection of insects. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2021 Pathogenic fungi precisely respond to dynamic microenvironments during infection, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii is a representative fungus in which to study broad themes of ...

Increased heat tolerance afforded by oil-based conidial formulations of Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium robertsii [PDF]
Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2017 ABSTRACTThe thermotolerance of oil-based conidial formulations of Metarhizium anisopliae s.l. (IP 46) and Metarhizium robertsii (ARSEF 2575) were investigated. Conidia of IP 46 or ARSEF 2575 were suspended in different adjuvants and exposed to 45 ± 0.2°C for 4, 6, 8 or 24 h; their viability was then assessed after 48 h incubation at 27 ± 1°C.

Substrate promiscuity catalyzed by an <i>O</i>-glycosyltransferase MrOGT2 from <i>Metarhizium robertsii</i>. [PDF]
MycologyGlycosides tremendously extend the wide spectrum of biological activities of flavonoids and phenolics, which are catalysed by the glycosyltransferases (GTs) in diverse plants, bacteria, and fungi. However, the glycosyltransferases identified from fungi are still limited. Herein, one novel O-glycosyltransferase of MrOGT2 from the entomopathogenic fungus
