Occurrence of Metarhizium spp. isolated from forest samples in South India and their potential in biological control of banana stem weevil Odoiporus longicollis Oliver

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2021
Background Thirty-six entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) were isolated from soil and insect cadaver samples, collected from different forest types, viz., wet evergreen, moist deciduous, dry deciduous and scrub type in South India.

MrHex1 is Required for Woronin Body Formation, Fungal Development and Virulence in Metarhizium robertsii. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel), 2020
The Woronin body (WB) is a peroxisome-derived dense-core vesicle, a self-assembling hexagonal crystal of a single protein Hex1. This organelle is specific to the ascomycete fungi belonging to the Pezizomycotina subphylum by functioning in sealing septal pores in response to mycelium damage and the control of cell heterogeneity.

Agrobacterium-Mediated Co-transformation of Multiple Genes in Metarhizium robertsii [PDF]

Mycobiology, 2017
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

The genome sequence of the biocontrol fungus Metarhizium anisopliae and comparative genomics of Metarhizium species [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Metarhizium anisopliae is an important fungal biocontrol agent of insect pests of agricultural crops. Genomics can aid the successful commercialization of biopesticides by identification of key genes differentiating closely related species ...

Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 56, 9 October 2026.
While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

The Biological Roles of Class II Hydrophobins at the Cell Wall of Filamentous Ascomycetes

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the most elusive aspects of fungal cell wall biology has been dilucidating the specific functions of most cell wall proteins. Class II hydrophobins are small amphipathic proteins produced exclusively by filamentous ascomycetes. A comparative synthesis of their biological functions across species has been lacking for this specific group ...

The divergence of DHN-derived melanin pathways in Metarhizium robertsii

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology
Abstract The important role of dihydroxynaphthalene-(DHN) melanin in enhancing fungal stress resistance and its importance in fungal development and pathogenicity are well-established. This melanin also aids biocontrol fungi in surviving in the environment and effectively infecting insects.
