DOI: 10.1007/s00294-019-00955-1
Abstract: Autophagy is a sophisticated mechanism for maintaining cellular homeostasis, in which E1-like enzyme (ATG7) controls the activation of ubiquitin-like conjugation system in the autophagy pathway. In the insect pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, a yeast ortholog… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-017-0943-z
Abstract: The increasing problem of bed bugs requires the development of new control strategies, and insect pathogenic fungi can contribute towards management. We used laboratory bioassays with Isaria fumosoroseus, Lecanicillium muscarium and Beauveria bassiana to evaluate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.funbio.2020.07.005
Abstract: Metarhizium is an insect pathogenic fungus and a plant root symbiont. Here the root association patterns (rhizoplane or endophytic colonization) were analyzed in common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and sweet corn (Zea mays) using M. robertsii and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0432
Abstract: Disease virulence may be strongly influenced by social interactions among pathogens, both during the time course of an infection and evolutionarily. Here, we examine how spiteful bacteriocin production in the insect-pathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.13648
Abstract: The PacC transcription factor is an important component of the fungal ambient pH-responsive regulatory system. Loss of pacC in the insect pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana resulted in an alkaline pH-dependent decrease in growth and pH-dependent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00098-21
Abstract: Small cysteine-rich proteins secreted during plant-pathogenic fungal infection comprise virulence effectors. Our study confirms that only a cysteine-free protein (CFP) is determinant to insect-pathogenic fungal virulence among 10 small putatively secreted proteins containing 0 to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof8040334
Abstract: The fluffy genes flbA–flbE are well-known players in the upstream developmental activation pathway that activates the key gene brlA of central developmental pathway (CDP) to initiate conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans. Here, we report insignificant roles… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof8060606
Abstract: Unique CFP (cysteine-free protein; 120 aa) has been identified as an extraordinary virulence factor in Beauveria bassiana (Cordycipitaceae), a main source of wide-spectrum fungal insecticides. Its homologs exclusively exist in wide-spectrum insect pathogens of Hypocreales,… read more here.
