''Metarhizium majus''〔 〕 is the new name given to a group of fungal isolates that are known to be virulent against Scarabaeidae, a family of beetles. Previously, this species has had variety status in ''Metarhizium anisopliae'' (var. ''majus'') and its name is derived from characteristically very large spores (typically 2.5–4 µm x 10–14 µm long) for the genus ''Metarhizium''. There has been considerable interest in developing isolates of this species into mycoinsecticides: especially for coconut and oil palm beetle pests in SE Asia, the Pacific region and Africa. It is an anamorph, its telomorphic form is ''Cordyceps brittlebankisoides''.〔 〕 == Important Isolates == * The epitype is isolate ARSEF 1914: derived from a dried US National Fungus Collection culture (BPI 878297)(). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metarhizium majus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
