Temperature requirements of four entomopathogenic fungi

Abstract

Infection potential of <i>Beauvaria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Paecilomyces farinosus</i> and <i>P. fumosoroseus</i> to <i>G. mellonella</i> larvae in pine litter was established. The growth of these fungi on the Czapek's Dox medium exposed to different temperature was determined.
