| [purification of a novel chitosanase from metarhizium guizhouense in solid-state fermentation with affinity chromatography]. | to find a new source of chitosanase from metarhizium guizhouense in solid state fermentation through purification techniques with affinity chromatography and molecular sieving. | 2007 | 17718449 |
| diversity of rhizosphere associated entomopathogenic fungi of perennial herbs, shrubs and coniferous trees. | understanding habitat selection of fungal entomopathogens is critical to improve the efficacy, persistence and cost of these fungi as microbial insecticides. this study sought to determine the prevalence of metarhizium and beauveria spp. isolated from the rhizosphere of strawberry, blueberry, grape and christmas tree crops in the willamette valley of oregon. entomopathogenic fungi were assigned to thirteen species based on molecular phylogenetic criteria. four species of metarhizium were isolate ... | 2010 | 21056569 |
| three sympatrically occurring species of metarhizium show plant rhizosphere specificity. | here we tested the hypothesis that species of the soil-inhabiting insect pathogenic fungus metarhizium are not randomly distributed in soils but show plant rhizosphere-specific associations. we isolated metarhizium from plant roots at two sites in ontario, canada, sequenced the 5' ef-1a gene to discern metarhizium species, and developed an rflp for rapid species identification. results indicated a non-random association of three metarhizium species (metarhizium robertsii, m. brunneum and m. guiz ... | 2011 | 21778205 |
| 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 |
