Microcycle Conidia Production in an Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana: The Role of Chitin Deacetylase in the Conidiation and the Contribution of Nanocoating in Conidial Stability [PDF]
MicroorganismsIn the field, substantial quantities of insect pathogenic fungal conidia (5 × 1012/ha) are usually applied for the control of pests. In this regard, attempts are being made to obtain higher yields of conidia to make the process viable.

The Forkhead Box Gene, MaSep1, Negatively Regulates UV- and Thermo-Tolerances and Is Required for Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Journal of FungiInsect pathogenic fungi have shown great potential in agricultural pest control. Conidiation is crucial for the survival of filamentous fungi, and dispersal occurs through two methods: normal conidiation, where conidia differentiate from mycelium, and ...

MaSln1, a Conserved Histidine Protein Kinase, Contributes to Conidiation Pattern Shift Independent of the MAPK Pathway in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 As a conserved sensor kinase in the HOG-MAPK pathway, Sln1 plays distinct functions in different fungi. In this study, the roles of MaSln1 in Metarhizium acridum were analyzed using gene knockout and rescue strategies.

Epiphytic and endophytic colonisation of tomato plants by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana strain GHA [PDF]
Mycology, 2021 Beauveria bassiana, known for its entomopathogenic characteristics, is the most widely used biocontrol agent against many insect pests and may also be active against soil-borne pathogens. It inhabits the surfaces or inner tissues of various plant species

Microcycle conidiation and its genetic basis in Neurospora crassa [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1991 Some wild isolates of Neurospora show microcycle conidiation in liquid culture under continuous agitation. Macroconidia from agar-grown mycelial cultures germinated in liquid and the germlings spontaneously produced conidia with no intervening mycelial phase. Three types of microcycle conidiation were seen among progeny of N.

Ultrastructural changes during microcycle conidiation of Aspergillus niger [PDF]
Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1980 Microcycle conidiation of Aspergillus niger was examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Internal cellular organization during the microcycle was monitored. Cell wall structure varied throughout the microcycle: the giant cell wall was seen to be exceptionally thick, while that of the conidiophore had a thickness comparable to hyphae ...

Production of conidia of Penicillium camemberti in liquid medium through microcycles of conidiation [PDF]
Biotechnology Letters, 2014 Microcycle conidiation is a survival mechanism of fungi encountering unfavorable conditions. In this phenomenon, asexual spores germinate secondary spores directly without formation of mycelium. As Penicillium camemberti conidia have the ability to produce conidiophores after germination in liquid culture induced by a thermal stress (18 and 30 °C), our
