| medium selection and effect of higher oxygen concentration pulses on metarhizium anisopliae var. lepidiotum conidial production and quality. | rice and oat flours were analyzed as media for the production of conidia by m. anisopliae var. lepidiotum. the presence of peptone increased conidia yield regardless of the substrate used; however, the highest yield was achieved on oat flour media. the effect of oxygen on conidia production using oat-peptone medium was also studied at two levels: normal atmosphere (21% o(2)) and oxygen-rich pulses (26% o(2)). maximum conidia production (4.25 x 10(7) conidia cm(-2)) was achieved using 26% o(2) pu ... | 2010 | 20039138 |
| 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 |
