The Xenon Test Chamber Q-SUN® for testing realistic tolerances of fungi exposed to simulated full spectrum solar radiation.
Fungal Biology, 2018Co-Authors: Luciana P. Dias, Claudinéia A.s. Araújo, Paulo C. Ferreira, Breno Pupin, Gilberto U. L. Braga, Drauzio E. N. RangelAbstract:Abstract The low survival of insect-pathogenic fungi when used for insect control in agriculture is mainly due to the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiation and heat from solar irradiation. In this study, conidia of 15 species of entomopathogenic fungi were exposed to simulated full-spectrum solar radiation emitted by a Xenon Test Chamber Q-SUN XE-3-HC 340S (Q-LAB® Corporation, Westlake, OH, USA), which very closely simulates full-spectrum solar radiation. A dendrogram obtained from cluster analyses, based on lethal time 50 % and 90 % calculated by Probit analyses, separated the fungi into three clusters: cluster 3 contains species with highest tolerance to simulated full-spectrum solar radiation, included Metarhizium acridum, Cladosporium herbarum, and Trichothecium roseum with LT50 > 200 min irradiation. Cluster 2 contains eight species with moderate UV tolerance: Aschersonia aleyrodis, Isaria fumosorosea, Mariannaea pruinosa, Metarhizium anisopliae, Metarhizium brunneum, Metarhizium robertsii, Simplicillium lanosoniveum, and Torrubiella homopterorum with LT50 between 120 and 150 min irradiation. The four species in cluster 1 had the lowest UV tolerance: Lecanicillium aphanocladii, Beauveria bassiana, Tolypocladium cylindrosporum, and Tolypocladium inflatum with LT50

Responsiveness of entomopathogenic fungi to menadione-induced oxidative stress.
Fungal Biology, 2014Co-Authors: Rosana F.f. Azevedo, Roberta Kelly De Faria Souza, Gilberto U. L. Braga, Drauzio E. N. RangelAbstract:Entomopathogenic fungi are predisposed to ROS induced by heat and UV–A radiation when outside the insect host. When inside the host, they are subject to phagocytic cells that generate ROS to eliminate invading pathogens. The oxidative stress tolerance of the entomopathogenic fungi Aschersonia aleyrodis (ARSEF 430 and 10276), Aschersonia placenta (ARSEF 7637), Beauveria bassiana (ARSEF 252), Isaria fumosorosea (ARSEF 3889), Lecanicillium aphanocladii (ARSEF 6433), Metarhizium acridum (ARSEF 324), Metarhizium anisopliae (ARSEF 5749), Metarhizium brunneum (ARSEF 1187 and ARSEF 5626), Metarhizium robertsii (ARSEF 2575), Tolypocladium cylindrosporum (ARSEF 3392), Tolypocladium inflatum (ARSEF 4877), and Simplicillium lanosoniveum (ARSEF 6430 and ARSEF 6651) was studied based on conidial germination on a medium supplemented with menadione. Conidial germination was evaluated 24 h after inoculation on potato dextrose agar (PDA) (control) or PDA supplemented with menadione. The two Aschersonia species (ARSEF 430, 7637, and 10276) were the most susceptible fungi, followed by the two Tolypocladium species (ARSEF 3392 and 4877) and the M. acridum (ARSEF 324). Metarhizium brunneum (ARSEF 5626) and M. anisopliae (ARSEF 5749) were the most tolerant isolates with MIC 0.28 mM. All fungal isolates, except ARSEF 5626 and ARSEF 5749, were not able to germinate at 0.20 mM.

conidial water affinity is an important characteristic for thermotolerance in entomopathogenic fungi
Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2014Co-Authors: Roberta Kelly De Faria Souza, Rosana F.f. Azevedo, Anderson Oliveira Lobo, Drauzio E. N. RangelAbstract:The interspecific thermotolerance of several species of entomopathogenic fungi was evaluated based on the conidial water affinity. The species were divided between hydrophilic and hydrophobic conidia. The species with hydrophobic conidia were Beauveria bassiana (ARSEF 252), Metarhizium brunneum (ARSEF 1187), Metarhizium robertsii (ARSEF 2575), Isaria fumosorosea (ARSEF 3889) and Metarhizium anisopliae s.l. (ARSEF 5749). The species with hydrophilic conidia were Tolypocladium cylindrosporum (ARSEF 3392), Tolypocladium inflatum (ARSEF 4877), Simplicillium lanosoniveum (ARSEF 6430), Lecanicillium aphanocladii (ARSEF 6433), S. lanosoniveum (ARSEF 6651), Aschersonia placenta (ARSEF 7637) and Aschersonia aleyrodis (ARSEF 10276). The conidial surface tension of each isolate was also studied. Conidial suspensions were exposed to 38, 41 or 45 °C. After exposure, the suspensions were inoculated on media and conidial germination was evaluated. Considerable differences in thermotolerance were found among the 12 entom...
