“…B. bassiana is a ubiquitous fungal pathogen of insects which is used to control a variety of insect pests as a biocontrol agent (Singh et al 2015). B. bassiana is also widely used to treat infantile convulsions, epilepsy, stroke, sore throat and different types of wounds (Madsen et al 2007).…”

“…B. bassiana is also widely used to treat infantile convulsions, epilepsy, stroke, sore throat and different types of wounds (Madsen et al 2007). The fungal species produces a plethora of secondary metabolites such as bassiacridin, beauvericin, bassianolide and bassianolone (Singh et al 2015). Additionally, C. bassiana , the teleomorph of B. bassiana , produces nucleosides, such as 1,9-dimethylauanine, adenosine, uridine, 3-methyluracil and 1,7-dimethylxanthine (Park et al 2013; Suh et al 2017).…”

N6-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-adenosine (HEA), which was the first calcium antagonist derived from biological sources, has been intensively investigated because of its ability to inhibit tumour cell proliferation, restrain inflammation, protect kidneys and function as a sedative and insecticide. Up to now, the production of HEA has been detected only in a few species such as Cordyceps pruinosa, C. militaris and Isaria tenuipes. Here, we found a new HEA-producing fungus, which was identified as Beauveria bassiana based on morphological and phylogenetic characteristics. The HEA production was verified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry in this fungus. Moreover, HEA was also detected in the mycelia of two other B. bassiana strains from different origins, but not in the culture medium of all tested B. bassiana strains. The maximum production of HEA (0.8483 ± 0.0439 mg/g mycelia dry weight) was achieved on day 7. The fungal biomass and kinetics of HEA production exhibited similar trends over the duration of the culture period. This is the first report describing HEA production in B. bassiana, which suggests that this fungal strain may have new applications as a source of HEA.

Background The aims of the present study were to isolate and identify native entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana from the Egyptian soil and to evaluate the artificial establishment of B. bassiana as endophytes in rice plants through seeds immersion. Results Ten soil samples were collected from different cultivated fields at the Ismailia Governorate. Only one sample was positive with a ratio of 10%. Sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region indicated that the isolate obtained from the soil sample belongs to B. bassiana and was registered under the accession no. MN337282. To test the endophytic colonization of B. bassiana, rice seeds were soaked by B. bassiana with a concentration of 5 × 107 spores/ml, to test when B. bassiana become an endophyte in rice plants. The plants were examined for endophytic presence of B. bassiana, 30 days post treatment. PCR amplification using fungal specific primers for a conserved region of β-tubulin gene yielded identical 360 bp products from both B. bassiana and rice treated plants. Conclusion The results showed that seeds immersion with a conidial suspension proved to be a good method to introduce B. bassiana into rice leaves to protect the rice plants against stem borers.
