As with many microbes, entomopathogenic fungi from the genus Metarhizium produce a
plethora of small molecule metabolites, often referred to as secondary metabolites. Although …

Background The described species from the Metarhizium genus are cosmopolitan fungi that
infect arthropod hosts. Interestingly, while some species infect a wide range of hosts (host …

Fungal entomopathogens rely on cellular heterogeneity during the different stages of insect
host infection. Their pathogenicity is exhibited through the secretion of secondary …

Fungal secondary metabolites are defined by bioactive properties that ensure adaptation of
the fungus to its environment. Although some of these natural products are promising …

The ascomycete genus Metarhizium contains several species of insect pathogenic fungi
ranging from specialists with narrow host ranges to generalists that can infect diverse …

Recent published sequencing of fungal genomes has revealed that these microorganisms
have a surprisingly large number of secondary metabolite pathways that can serve as …

Covering: 2014 up to the third quarter of 2019 Hypocrealean entomopathogenic fungi (HEF)
produce a large variety of secondary metabolites (SMs) that are prominent virulence factors …

Many Fungi have a well-developed secondary metabolism. The diversity of fungal species
and the diversification of biosynthetic gene clusters underscores a nearly limitless potential …

The 8th International Mycological Congress (IMC8; Cairns, Australia) hosted several plenary
lectures, poster presentations, and even entire symposia dedicated to fungal secondary …
