Transformation of Aspergillus nidulans by microprojectile bombardment on intact conidia.
This paper describes transformation of intact conidia of Aspergillus nidulans, auxotrophic for arginine, by using the biolistic process. The plasmid employed was pFB39, carrying the argB gene. The transformation frequency obtained was 81 transformants/microgram of DNA. Classical genetics and molecular analysis were conducted to analyse transformants and to determine in which chromosome integrat...
متن کاملHydrophobic and electrostatic cell surface properties of blastospores of the entomopathogenic fungus Paecilomyces fumosoroseus.
The physicochemical surface properties of blastospores of the entomopathogenic fungus Paecilomyces fumosoroseus were examined. Contact angle measurements were performed on microbial lawns composed of blastospores of P. fumosoroseus to quantify their cell surface energy components. In addition, suspensions of the blastospores were characterized with the microbial adhesion to solvents assay. Zeta...
متن کاملMicrosatellite variability in the entomopathogenic fungus Paecilomyces fumosoroseus: genetic diversity and population structure.
The hyphomycete Paecilomyces fumosoroseus (Pfr) is a geographically widespread fungus capable of infecting various insect hosts. The fungus has been used for the biological control of several important insect pests of agriculture. However knowledge of the fungus' genetic diversity and population structure is required for its sustainable use as a biological control agent. We investigated length ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from the entomopathogenic hyphomycete, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus
Nine microsatellite markers were isolated from the entomopathogenic haploid fungus Paecilomyces fumosoroseus. Genetic diversity was assessed in 26 P. fumosoroseus isolates originated from the whitefly Bemisia tabaci collected in various geoclimatic areas. Eight loci were polymorphic with an observed number of alleles ranging from two to six. The loci differentiated some isolates and group of is...
متن کاملVirulence of Entomopathogenic Fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus for the Microbial Control of Spodoptera exigua
The beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is difficult to control using chemical insecticides because of the development of insecticide resistance. Several pest control agents are used to control the beet armyworm. Entomopathogenic fungi are one of the candidates for eco-friendly pest control instead of chemical control agents. In this study, among various entomopathogenic fu...
