Abstract excerpt
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based technology, involving random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD), was used to assess the genomic variability between 24 isolates of deuteromycetous fungi (Metarhizium anisopliae, Metarhizium flavoviride, unidentified strains of Metarhizium and Beauveria bassiana) which were found to infect grasshoppers or locusts. M. flavoviride showed little intraspecific variability in...
