Identification of Exoenzymes Secreted by Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria pseudobassiana RGM 2184 and Their Effect on the Degradation of Cocoons and Pupae of Quarantine Pest Lobesia botrana
Abstract:Beauveria pseudobassiana RGM 2184 has shown 80% maximum efficacy against the pest Lobesia botrana in the autumn and winter seasons. This suggests that the strain possesses an interesting battery of enzymes that are cold-adapted to penetrate the thick and hydrophobic cocoon of L. botrana. In this study, screening of the proteolytic, lipolytic, and chitinolytic activity of enzyme extracts secreted by the RGM 2184 strain was carried out in various culture media. The enzyme extracts with the highest activity were … Show more
“…Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in Diaphorina citri were shown to be induced by endophytic B. bassiana [ 6 ]. Lobesia botrana pupae were shown to be susceptible to Beauveria pseudobassiana with those without a cocoon being more susceptible than those with a cocoon [ 7 ].…”
