| genetic polymorphisms in three subtilisin-like protease isoforms (pr1a, pr1b, and pr1c) from metarhizium strains. | restriction fragment length polymorphisms (rflp) were examined in three isoforms of a gene family encoding subtilisin-like proteases (pr1a, pr1b, and pr1c) in several isolates of the entomopathogenic fungus metarhizium anisopliae. rflp variation was not observed in any of the pr1 genes from isolates within the same genetically related group. between genetically related groups and between isolates from disparate geographical areas, the greatest variation in rflp patterns was observed for pr1a. wh ... | 2000 | 11142404 |

| prospects of using metarhizium anisopliae to check the breeding of insect pest, oryctes rhinoceros l. in coconut leaf vermicomposting sites. | during vermicomposting of coconut leaves by the earthworm eudrilus sp., oryctes rhinoceros l. (rhinoceros beetle), an insect pest of palms, was found to breed in the decomposing organic material. metarhizium anisopliae var. major was tried as a biocontrol agent for management of this pest. the effect of pathogen at spore loads of 10(3), 10(4) and 10(5) per 10 g of substrate was tested in laboratory on eudrilus sp. kept with o. rhinoceros grubs and on eudrilus sp. alone for the pathogenic capabil ... | 2006 | 16230009 |
| [biological characteristics of metarhizium anisopliae var. major and its virulence to white grubs]. | with beauveria brongniartii and metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae as the reference, this paper studied the biological characteristics and invading ability of metarhizium anisopliae var. major, a new variety separated from white grubs. the results showed that the optimal culture condition of m. anisopliae var. major was similar with that of other entomopathogenic species, and the optimal temperature was 25 degrees c. among the three test media, ppda was the most appropriate one, followed by ... | 2006 | 16706069 |
| pathogenicity of some hypocrealean fungi to adult aedes aegypti (diptera: culicidae). | the pathogenicity of 19 hypocrealean entomopathogenic fungi from seven different genera in adult aedes aegypti was tested. all fungi proved to be pathogenic, and isaria fumosorosea, lecanicillium muscarium, lecanicillium psalliotae, metarhizium anisopliae, metarhizium lepidiotae, metarhizium majus, metarhizium frigidum, paecilomyces carneus, and paecilomyces lilacinus caused total mortality within 15 days of exposure of mosquitoes to the fungal culture. all fungi developed on dead individuals. t ... | 2010 | 20680340 |
| a pcr-based tool for cultivation-independent detection and quantification of metarhizium clade 1. | the entomopathogenic fungus metarhizium anisopliae and sister species are some of the most widely used biological control agents for insects. availability of specific monitoring and quantification tools are essential for the investigation of environmental factors influencing their environmental distribution. naturally occurring as well as released metarhizium strains in the environment traditionally are monitored with cultivation-dependent techniques. however, specific detection and quantificati ... | 2011 | 21821039 |
