Harnessing entomopathogenic fungi: A meta‐analysis on their role as plant growth promoters

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1858-1869, November 2025.
Our meta‐analysis highlights the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) as sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilisers. By promoting plant growth and reducing reliance on agrochemicals, EPF can support healthier crops, minimise environmental contamination and improve profitability within food production systems.

Metarhizium brunneum Blastospore Pathogenesis in Aedes aegypti Larvae: Attack on Several Fronts Accelerates Mortality [PDF]

, 2016
Aedes aegypti is the vector of a wide range of diseases (e.g. yellow fever, dengue, Chikungunya and Zika) which impact on over half the world's population. Entomopathogenic fungi such as Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana have been found to be

Increased heat tolerance afforded by oil-based conidial formulations of Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium robertsii

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.

Mitochondrial Complex Member VdNuo1 Recruits Superoxide Dismutases VdSOD2/4 to Maintain Superoxide Anion Homeostasis During Pathogenesis in Verticillium dahliae

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
Superoxide dismutases VdSOD2 and VdSOD4 are recruited and regulated by the 24‐kDa subunit VdNuo1 of the respiratory chain complex I to participate in the development and pathogenicity of Verticillium dahliae. ABSTRACT During oxidative phosphorylation, the leaked electrons generate superoxide anions to attack the mitochondrial inner membrane and impair ...

Mycophagous Mite, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Prefers to Feed on Entomopathogenic Fungi, except Metarhizium Generalists

Microorganisms
(1) Background: The mycophagous mite, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, was found to feed on entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) in our previous experiments, which seriously impacted the culture and preservation of fungal strains.

Plant microbiome analysis after Metarhizium amendment reveals increases in abundance of plant growth-promoting organisms and maintenance of disease-suppressive soil.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The microbial community in the plant rhizosphere is vital to plant productivity and disease resistance. Alterations in the composition and diversity of species within this community could be detrimental if microbes suppressing the activity of pathogens ...

Biosynthesis of the Fungal Cyclic Lipodepsipeptide Pleosporacin, a New Selective Inhibitor of the Phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 12, June 16, 2025.
Bioactivity‐guided isolation led to the discovery of a potent and selective inhibitor of the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea, pleosporacin (1), from mycelia extracts of the fungal strain Pleosporales sp. IBWF 020‐21. The biosynthesis of the nonribosomal cyclic lipodepsipeptide 1 was elucidated via heterologous reconstitution in Aspergillus oryzae ...
