Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ceramidases (CDases) are essential enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of sphingolipids and ceramides, which play an important role in regulating several biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. However, the function of CDases in entomopathogenic fungi used as biological agents remains largely unclear. RESULTS: The MaFH27 gene in Metarhizium anisopliae was...
