| the antifungal activity of fatty acids of all stages of sarcophaga carnaria l. (diptera: sarcophagidae). | fatty acids as components of cuticular lipids of insects play a significant role in antifungal in protection against fungal infection. the chemical composition of cuticular and internal extracts obtained from all developmental stages of flesh flies sarcophaga carnaria was identified. the fatty acids were detected using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and the most abundant for all examined stages were: 18:1 > 16:0 > 16:1 > 18:0 > 18:2. polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) c20 were ... | 2014 | 23969191 |
| combined effect of microbial and chemical control agents on subterranean termites. | termite mortality was measured when fungi were combined with bacteria or a chemical termiticide to determine whether a synergistic effect occurred. the fungus beauveria bassiana was combined with the non-repellant chemical termiticide imidacloprid. of the three b. bassiana strains tested one, b. bassiana atcc 90519, was sufficiently pathogenic on its own that the advantage of a supplementary chemical treatment was marginal. the mortality caused by another fungal strain, b. bassiana atcc 26037, w ... | 2013 | 24037651 |
| enhanced fungicide resistance in isaria fumosorosea following ionizing radiation-induced mutagenesis. | the application of entomopathogenic fungi such as isaria fumosorosea to combat insect pests on plants is complicated by their sensitivity to commonly used fungicides. in this study, i. fumosorosea mutants with enhanced resistance to the fungicide benomyl were induced by irradiation using either ion beams or gamma rays, or a combination of the two. when grown on agar containing benomyl, mycelial growth was observed for five of the six mutant isolates at benomyl concentrations that were more than ... | 2013 | 24164561 |
