Abstract excerpt
Beauveria bassiana is a well-known entomopathogenic fungus that parasitizes on a variety of insect species. Glucan in the cell wall of B. bassiana plays a crucial role in its structure and growth and is also involved in the activation of the host insect's immune system. Glucan biosynthesis is primarily regulated by glucan synthase, however, it is unclear if the glucan synthase catalytic subunit gene (GluS)...
