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

Agrobacterium-Mediated Co-transformation of Multiple Genes in Metarhizium robertsii [PDF]
Fungi of the Metarhizium genus are a very versatile model for understanding pathogenicity in insects and their symbiotic relationship with plants. To establish a co-transformation system for the transformation of multiple M. robertsii genes using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, we evaluated whether the antibiotic nourseothricin has the same marker selection

Intracellular proteome expression during 4-n-nonylphenol biodegradation by the filamentous fungus Metarhizium robertsii [PDF]
4-n-nonylphenol (4-n-NP) is an endocrine disrupting compound (EDC); pollutants that cause serious disturbances in the environment. This study shows the degradation pathway and initial proteome analysis in cultures of a fungus that actively degrades 4-n-

Enhanced UV resistance and improved killing of malaria mosquitoes by photolyase transgenic entomopathogenic fungi. [PDF]
The low survival of microbial pest control agents exposed to UV is the major environmental factor limiting their effectiveness. Using gene disruption we demonstrated that the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii uses photolyases to remove UV ...

Mechanism study of alachlor biodegradation by Paecilomycesmarquandii with proteomic and metabolomic methods [PDF]
Alachlor is an herbicide that is widely used worldwide to protect plant crops against broadleaf weedsand annual grasses. However, due to its endocrine-disrupting activity, its application had been bannedin the European Union.

AbstractImbibitional damage (ID) may take place when dehydrated cells are immersed in water and, within certain limits, damage to the plasma membrane is inversely proportional to the immersion temperature. Dried Metarhizium anisopliae conidia formulated in pure oil are not severely impacted when rehydrated in a cold agar-based substrate, whereas dried,
