球孢白僵菌不同感染方式侵染棉铃虫幼虫的毒性比较及组织病理变化

为明确球孢白僵菌在不同感染方式下对棉铃虫的侵染能力, 采用饲喂法和浸渍法测定了球孢白僵菌HFW-05对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) 2龄幼虫的致病力, 并通过组织切片显微技术、 扫描电镜技术观察了球孢白僵菌HFW-05对棉铃虫的致病方式。结果表明: 白僵菌HFW-05可通过消化道（饲喂法）成功侵染2龄棉铃虫, 接种感染6 d后的校正死亡率为75.8%。经由体表（浸渍法）接种白僵菌HFW-05的试虫, 试验中体重的变化和取食量与对照相近（6 d校正死亡率仅为17.3%, 不能通过体表达到致病效果）。组织病理学变化表明: 26±1℃条件下, HFW-05菌株对棉铃虫以消化道侵染为主, 侵染后可导致寄主中肠微绒毛脱落严重, 肠壁组织溶解并最终只剩余底膜; 马氏管变形萎缩, 边缘向外突出隆起, 管径变大; 脂肪体萎缩解体, 结构松散; 表皮下的细胞被菌丝侵染破坏。浸渍法接种的试虫, 切片观察处理6 d后试虫, 体内未发现菌丝, 肠壁组织正常完整。扫描电镜观察, 浸渍法接种的分生孢子未能穿透棉铃虫表皮, 而是贴于寄主表皮表面生长, 在湿度合适的条件下, 菌丝生长到一定时间后断裂成为芽生孢子。白僵菌HFW-05可经由消化道对棉铃虫达到较高的致病效果, 在一定程度上弥补外界环境对白僵菌侵染的不利影响, 对今后应用白僵菌进行生物防治具有重要意义。     

Beauveria bassiana infection of eggs of stored-product beetles

Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin was tested under maximum challenge conditions with an estimated dose of 1.1 × 10⁵ conidia/mm² for its effects on eggs of four of the major beetle pests of stored grain and grain products. When ambient relative humidity (RH) was 92%, hatch of fungus-treated Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) eggs was 13% versus 58% for control eggs, and hatch of treated Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) was 17% versus 51% for controls. There was no fungus effect at RH of 48 and 73%. Fungus treatment of Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) and Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Linnaeus) eggs had no effect. Sectioned T. castaneum eggs demonstrated that the fungus penetrates and infects them.

球孢白僵菌在红火蚁体表侵染的扫描电镜观察

利用扫描电镜观察了球孢白僵菌Beauveria bassiana Bb04菌株分生孢子对红火蚁Beauveria bassiana 工蚁体壁的侵染过程。结果表明: 分生孢子多分布在红火蚁工蚁节间膜、胸部的褶皱、气门、体壁的凹陷部位、刚毛窝附近, 以及着生较密刚毛的足上。萌发的分生孢子在节间膜以及体表缝隙、刚毛窝及刚毛稀少的凹陷部位、胸部褶皱和足胫节处入侵。分生孢子在附着12 h后开始萌发, 接种后18 h附着在节间膜处的孢子首先侵入成功, 接种后24 h刚毛窝附近孢子萌发入侵, 接种后60 h胸、腹和足等部位的孢子均成功穿透侵入表皮。分生孢子可以直接以芽管侵入表皮, 也可以产生附着胞再侵入。     

球孢白僵菌对温室蚜虫的侵染生物学

研究了球孢白僵菌在不同浓度、施菌方式、温度和相对湿度下对温室蚜虫的侵染力以及接种后对蚜虫的侵染速率。结果表明,高(109个孢子.mL-1)、中(108个孢子.mL-1)、低(107个孢子.mL-1)3个浓度剂量对蚜虫都有较强的致病力,且浓度越大,蚜虫的死亡率越高,死亡时间越提前。用浸渍法和孢子浴法接种蚜虫,6 d的累积死亡率分别为100%和31.1%。在测试的3个温度(22、26、30℃)中,26℃时蚜虫侵染力最强,第3天出现死亡高峰,第5天时累积死亡率就达到100%,明显高于22、30℃的处理。相对湿度越大,球孢白僵菌的致病力越强,蚜虫死亡速度越快。在温湿度组合中相对湿度为95%时,温度对白僵菌的侵染力几乎无影响,但影响发病速度,相对湿度低于95%时,26℃的侵染力始终高于22和30℃时的侵染力。通过接种后不同时间段用0.2%百菌清处理蚜虫测定该菌株的侵染速率,结果表明接种后24 h是该球孢白僵菌有效侵染蚜虫的关键时期。     

油松毛虫受球孢白僵菌感染的组织病理学变化

为了研究昆虫病原真菌对松毛虫的致病机理, 提供北方地区松毛虫生物防治的科学依据, 本研究采用球孢白僵菌Beauveria bassiana (Bals.)

Modelling Beauveria bassiana horizontal transmission

1 We modelled horizontal transmission of Beauveria bassiana in Colorado potato beetle (CPB) between larval cadavers and soil inhabiting prepupae. 2 The rate of disease transmission, based on the probability of a prepupa contacting sporulating cadavers on the soil surface, is a non‐linear function of cadaver density and also dependent upon temperature. 3 The spatial pattern of cadavers is needed to estimate prepupal contacts with cadavers. Observational field studies determined Johnson distributions to model the spatial pattern of cadavers and prepupae in the field. The model also implicitly incorporates within‐field larval spatial pattern into estimates of field‐level horizontal transmission. 4 Potential for horizontal transmission is higher in simulations using weather data from the warmer year of 1995, than in simulations of the cooler growing season of 1993. 5 Simulations of CPB populations under northern Maine climatic conditions recorded in 1993 and 1995 suggest that horizontal transmission can range from 3 to 24% depending upon the timing of primary infection of larvae in the field. 6 Two simulated sequential applications of B. bassiana targeted at peak first instars resulted in maximum horizontal infection in both years. 7 Sensitivity analysis suggests that horizontal transmission is most sensitive to changes in the proportion of cadavers that sporulate and least sensitive to changes in the time between larval death and the onset of cadaver sporulation. 8 Field validation of the model indicates good prediction of one measure of horizontal infection, the proportion of prepupae which eventually sporulated after being released in controlled field experiments.

Horizontal transmission of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill

1 Factors influencing horizontal transmission of the entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana in the Colorado potato beetle (CPB) were examined through a series of laboratory studies. 2 Cadaver density, cadaver life stage, ambient temperature and conidial density were the factors manipulated. 3 Mortality and sporulation of burrowing CPB prepupae both increased significantly with increased sporulating second‐instar cadaver density on the soil surface. 4 Mortality rates were significantly higher when prepupae were released into laboratory arenas containing third‐instar cadavers compared to second‐instar cadavers. 5 Mortality and sporulation decreased significantly as temperature increased from 15 °C to 30 °C, however, no temperature‐dependent behavioural response by prepupae could be identified as a potential cause. 6 An 86.1% decrease in conidial density per cadaver had no significant effect on mortality or sporulation of prepupae, indicating that this level of environmental degradation of cadavers may not significantly reduce the probability of horizontal transmission.     

Transformation of cinoxacin by Beauveria bassiana

The ability of the fungus Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159 to transform the antibacterial agent cinoxacin was investigated. Cultures in sucrose-peptone broth were dosed with cinoxacin, grown for 20 days, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. Two metabolites were detected and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography. The major metabolite was identified by mass and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra as 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-3-(hydroxymethyl)[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]cinnolin-4-one and the minor metabolite was identified as 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-6,7-dihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)cinnolin-4-one. B. bassiana also reduced quinoline-3-carboxylic acid to 3-(hydroxymethyl)quinoline.     

施菌方式和寄主状态对白僵菌萌发与侵染的影响

在白僵菌侵染的适宜温度下,菌液处理的侵染进程和寄主死亡速率都较菌粉处理的快,这是由于不同湿度引起的。在0～10℃的自然变温下,孢子不能萌发引起侵染。白僵菌在死虫体上的发展速度比在活虫体上快得多;经冷处理的活虫与新采活虫同样具有抵御侵染的能力。因此,林间不宜选择冬季放菌防治马尾松毛虫.

Cloning of a cuticle-degrading protease from the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana

Abstract A Beauveria bassiana extracellular subtilisin-like serine endoprotease is a potential virulence factor by virtue of its activity against insect cuticles. A cDNA clone of the protease was isolated from mycelia of B. bassiana grown on cuticle/chitin cultures. The amino acid sequence of this gene was compared to that of Metarhizium anisopliae Pr1, the only pathogenicity determinant so far described from an entomopathogenic fungus, and proteinase K, isolated from Tritirachium album , a saprophytic fungus. The cDNA sequence revealed that B. bassiana Prl is synthesized as a large precursor ( M _r 37 460) containing a signal peptide, a propeptide and the mature protein predicted to have an M _r of 26 832.     

Review on safety of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Beauveria brongniartii

The commercial use of entomopathogenic fungi and their products as mycoinsecticides necessitates their registration. Worldwide, several registration guidelines are available, however, most of them focus on similar or even the same safety issues. With respect to the two entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. and Beauveria brongniartii (Sacc.) Petch, many commercial products have been developed, and numerous papers on different biological, environmental, toxicological and other safety aspects have been published during the past 30-40 years. The aim of the present review is to summarise these data. The following safety issues are presented: (1) identity of Beauveria spp.; (2) biological properties of Beauveria spp. (history, natural occurrence and geographical distribution, host range, mode of action, production of metabolites/toxins, effect of environmental factors); (3) analytical methods to determine and quantify residues; (4) fate and behaviour in the environment (mobility and persistence in air, water and soil); (5) effects on non-target organisms (non-target microorganisms, plants, soil organisms, aquatic organisms, predators, parasitoids, honey bees, earth worms and nontarget arthropods); (6) effects on vertebrates (fish, amphibia, reptiles and birds); and (7) effects on mammals and human health. Based on the present knowledge it is concluded that both Beauveria species are considered to be safe.

Light stimulates conidiation of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana

Beauveria bassiana is a commercially important entomopathogenic fungus. Like other insect fungal pathogens, B. bassiana usually produces asexual reproductive bodies, conidia, for dispersal, transmission and infection of insects. Adequate mass-production of high quality conidia is crucial to development of an efficient B. bassiana insecticide. However, little is known about details of conidiation in this fungus in response to environmental signals, which limits understanding of the mechanism of conidiation and improvement in conidia production. Here, morphologenetic changes of B. bassiana under different light conditions are reported. When cultured in total darkness, B. bassiana hyphae can grow continuously with few reproductive structures differentiated, while illumination with white light resulted in prolific formation of conidiophores bearing abundant conidia, indicating that light could stimulate conidiation of B. bassiana. Among the single colour lights tested, blue light was the most effective to stimulating sporulation. Colonies became adapted for blue light stimulus only after hyphae had grown in total darkness for at least 96 h, whereas the photoadaptation obviously declined after 144 h. For the exposure time, 3 min of blue light pulse was enough to stimulate conidiation in the photoadapted mycelia, while prolonged light exposure over 3 min resulted in a decrease in conidia yield. Our results provided useful clues for understanding the mechanism of conidiation mediated by light in B. bassiana.     

球孢白僵菌对大豆蚜毒力的室内生物学测定

小菜蛾应对球孢白僵菌感染的免疫应答基因分析

通过室内生物测定,筛选对小菜蛾Plutella xylostella具有高毒力的球孢白僵菌Beauveria bassiana菌株,分析小菜蛾应对球孢白僵菌浸染的免疫应答基因。采用新一代Illumina高通量测序技术对接种/感染48h与未接种的小菜蛾样品分别进行转录组测序,筛选差异表达基因;结合生物信息学分析差异表达基因的功能、分类及涉及的信号通路等。结果表明接种小菜蛾48h后诱导2 434个基因发生差异表达,包括1 080个上调基因和1 354个下调基因。GO分类结果表明,这些差异表达基因（DEGs）被注释到45个GO term中,包括23个生物学过程,12个细胞组分和10个分子功能。KEGG分析表明,1 308个DEGs被富集到25个功能途径,这些DEGs包括497个上调基因和811个下调基因。分析发现,DEGs编码蛋白包含肽聚糖识别蛋白、丝氨酸蛋白酶55、丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂以及细胞色素P450 6K1类的免疫相关蛋白。另外,组蛋白、磷酸泛酰半胱氨酸脱羧酶、双链RNA结合蛋白、黑芥子酶等基因在球孢白僵菌侵染过程中也高表达,推测这些基因可能参与小菜蛾应对球孢白僵菌侵染的免疫反应。研究结果为进一步研究小菜蛾免疫相关基因的功能奠定了基础。
