FEMS Microbiol Lett
. 2021 Jun;
368(12).
PMID: 34100915
The first line of the Arthropods defense against infections is the hard-structured exoskeleton, a physical barrier, usually rich in insoluble chitin. For entomopathogenic fungi that actively penetrate the host body,...

PMID: 30534852
Cell walls are involved in manifold aspects of fungi maintenance. For several fungi, chitin synthesis, degradation and recycling are essential processes required for cell wall biogenesis; notably, the activity of...

Front Microbiol
. 2017 Jun;

PMID: 28659888
The emergence of new microbial pathogens can result in destructive outbreaks, since their hosts have limited resistance and pathogens may be excessively aggressive. Described as the major ecological incident of...

BMC Genomics
. 2016 Nov;
17(Suppl 8):736.
PMID: 27801295
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-generalists), other species infect only...

PLoS One
. 2014 Sep;
9(9):e107864.
PMID: 25232743
Fungal chitin metabolism involves diverse processes such as metabolically active cell wall maintenance, basic nutrition, and different aspects of virulence. Chitinases are enzymes belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 18...

. 2013 Mar;
117(2):137-44.
PMID: 23452951
Entomopathogenic fungi are able to produce several chitinases, which serve a variety of biological functions, such as fungal cell wall organization and the degradation of exogenous chitin for nutrition or...
