Abstract excerpt
Genetic variability in a putative virulence factor, the neutral trehalase ( Ntl) gene, was examined in strains of the insect pathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium flavoviride by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The Ntl gene was sequenced from four of these strains that showed dissimilar RFLP patterns. Enzyme kinetic experiments were also performed on the partially purified...
