“…Entomopathogenic fungi are parasitic microorganisms with an ability to infect and kill arthropods. They are mainly used as biopesticides in ecologic farming as a safe alternative to toxic chemical insecticides, although some of them are also used in biotechnological processes or in Chinese medicine (Jaihan et al 2016;Ríos-Moreno et al 2016;Lovett and Leger 2017).…”

“…Species belonging to Ascomycota and Entomophtoromycota occur most frequently in nature. In the literature, species belonging to Ascomycota to the genera Metarhizium (M. anisopliae, M. robertsii, M. aphidis), and the species Paecilomyces variotii, Purpureocillium lilacinum are described (Khan et al 2012;Tkaczuk et al 2015;Jaihan et al 2016.…”

“…The main function of EPF in the environment is the biocontrol of the insect population. The literature data provide information on the infectious properties of EPF, the infectious process (Skinner et al 2014;Lacey et al 2015;Mascarin and Jaronski 2016), and the use of these microorganisms in commercial preparations as biopesticides (Jaihan et al 2016;Ríos-Moreno et al 2016).…”

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are microorganisms that cause fatal diseases of arthropods. The infection process involves several stages that consist of direct contact of the fungus with the surface of the cuticle of the attacked insect. The factors that determine the effectiveness of the infection process include lytic enzymes, secondary metabolites, and adhesins produced by EPF. Because of their high insecticidal effectiveness, these fungi are commonly used as biopesticides in organic farming. As the environment and farmlands are contaminated with many compounds of anthropogenic origin (e.g., pesticides), the effects of these toxic compounds on EPF and the mechanisms that affect their survival in such a toxic environment have been studied in recent years. This review presents information on the capacity of EPF to remove toxic contaminants, including alkylphenols, organotin compounds, synthetic estrogens, pesticides and hydrocarbons. Moreover, these fungi produce numerous secondary metabolites that can be potentially used in medicine or as antimicrobial agents. Despite their huge potential in biocontrol processes, the use of EPF has been underestimated due to a lack of knowledge on their abilities. In our work, we have presented the available data on the possibilities of the additional and unconventional use of these microorganisms.

Purpose: To investigate the antifungal effect of the mycelial extracts and crude proteins of the medicinal mushroom, Ophiocordyceps sobolifera on Candida albicans. Methods: The antifungal activities of the mycelial extracts and crude proteins of seven strains of the entomopathogenic fungus, Ophiocordyceps sobolifera, were screened against Candida albicans strain NCYC854 using an agar well diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were determined using broth microdilution method. The kinetics of fungal death was elucidated via time-kill assays, and while ultrastructural alteration changes to fungal cells were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: The antifungal activities of the mycelial extracts were superior to those of the crude proteins. Among the isolates, Cod-KK1643 exhibited the highest activity with the lowest MIC against the test strains. Therefore, it was chosen for further investigations. The isolate Cod-KK1643 exhibited concentration-and time-dependent fungistatic activity in the time kill assay. However, these activities were absent in the crude protein of the isolate. Moreover, Cod-KK1643 mycelial extract induced morphological alterations in fungal cells, such as decreased cell size, and crushed or cracked appearance. Slight alterations in cell morphology (decreased cell size or crushed appearance) were observed in the crude protein treatment. Conclusion: The mycelial extracts of the fungus, O. sobolifera (especially isolate Cod-KK1643) exert potent antifungal activity against human pathogenic fungus, C. albicans.

“…Estes fungos especialistas são divididos e descritos em seis classes distintas: Oomycetos, Microsporidia, Chytridiomycota, Entomophtomycota, Basidiomycota e aqueles que podem ser ditos como os mais conhecidos entre os estudiosos da área microbiológica, Ascomycota(LITWIN et al, 2020).O uso de fungos entomopatogênicos na produção de culturas agronômicas não é uma prática nova, mas com o apelo vindo da sociedade por uma agricultura em que fossem utilizadas técnicas mais sustentáveis, que não abalem o equilíbrio ambiental e que gerassem uma significativa diminuição do impacto ambiental gerado pelo uso indiscriminado de defensivos químicos nas lavouras, o controle biológico de pragas com a introdução destes fungos se tornou uma alternativa mitigadora que só tende a se expandir cada vez mais. Atualmente existem uma grande variedade de produtos bioinseticidas difundidos em escala comercial que tem como base esporos destes fungos(JAIHAN et al, 2016).…”
