Molecular biology of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana : insect-cuticle degrading enzymes and development of a new selection marker for fungal transformation
The entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana, is attracting increased attention as potential biological control agent against insect pests. The research of this thesis focused on a B. bassiana strain, ARSEF 252 that is highly pathogenic for the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata. …

Study of anti-cancer effect of winter worm and summer grass on Mcf-7 human breast cancer cells
… and improving immunity. It consists of the entomopathogenic fungus Cordyceps sinensis and its natural lepidopteran host Hepialus armoricanus. Using the water extract of Cordyceps militaris, a sibling species of C. sinensis cultivated on an artificial host the silkworm Bombyx mori pupae, we …

Synthetic Studies Towards the Total Synthesis of Apoptosis Inducing Natural Products, Jahanyne and Opaliferin
… C19 skeleton, obtained from cultures of a rare entomopathogenic fungus (Cordyceps sp. NBRC 106954), isolated from a fruiting body on a larva of cicada (Meimuna opalifera Walker) in Japan. The key intermediate 846 towards the fused-[5,5]-spiroketal moiety of opaliferin (251) was synthesised …

Synthetic Studies towards Opaliferin, a Tetracyclic Polyketide Metabolite
… originally isolated and characterised from an entomopathogenic fungus of Cordyceps sp. NBRC 106954 by the Grudniewska group in 2014. The fungus Cordyceps sp. is a single ascospore isolated from a fruiting body found on the larvae of Meimuna opalifera also known as Walker’s cicada. Opaliferin …

Population dynamics, mortality factors, and pest status of alfalfa weevil in Virginia
… Piedmont compared with the other regions. The entomopathogenic fungus, Zoophthora phytonomi, also killed weevil larvae in all regions. A more intensive ecological investigation of alfalfa weevil population dynamics and mortality was initiated in 1997 to determine why H. postica remains a pest …

Contribución al manejo integrado de ácaros tetraníquidos (Acari: Tetranychidae) que afectan a frutales de clima templado
… the compatibility of both compounds and the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana has also been researched. Flufenoxuron showed an important acaricidal effect on eggs, protonymphs, deutonymphs and adults of T. urticae, being especially effective on protonymphs. Meanwhile, azadirachtin …

Pest management of billbugs in orchardgrass grown in Virginia
… (Metschnikoff) Sorokin strain F52 (Met-52), an entomopathogenic fungus, was evaluated against billbug adults as they enter orchardgrass fields in the spring. Randomized pairs of treated and untreated plots were placed along the edge of an orchardgrass field in studies over two seasons. Plots …

Efficacy of Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Entomopathogenic Fungi against Masked Chafer White Grubs, Cyclocephala spp. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and H. megidis) and entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) (Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana) were evaluated for efficacy against masked chafer white grub, Cyclocephala spp., under laboratory and greenhouse conditions, as well as …
