Abstract excerpt

The insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae is an important insect biological control agent commercialized for use worldwide. Fungal infection is percutaneous, and rapid germination and growth has been linked to virulence. Using a simple in vitro growth screen to isolate mutants with increased virulence, M. anisopliae SM04 conidia were exposed to UV radiation for 20, 40, and 60 min, and mutants were...
