Cuticle-degrading enzymes of entomopathogenic fungi: cuticle degradation in vitro by enzymes from entomopathogens
TLDR
Extracellular fluids from Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana, and Verticillium lecanii grown on cuticle as the sole carbon source released amino acids and N-acetylglucosamine from protein and chitin, respectively, in comminuted locust cuticle, suggesting that cuticular chit in is shielded by protein.About:

Simultaneous P-solubilizing and biocontrol activity of microorganisms: potentials and future trends
TL;DR: In vitro studies show the potential of P-solubilizing microorganisms for the simultaneous synthesis and release of pathogen-suppressing metabolites, mainly siderophores, phytohormones, and lytic enzymes, which benefit plant growth and development.

Liquefaction of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus-infected insects is dependent on the integrity of virus-encoded chitinase and cathepsin genes

TL;DR: The role of the Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV)-encoded chitinase in virus pathogenesis in Trichoplusia ni larvae is examined, demonstrating that despite 57% sequence identity, the two proteins have distinct enzymic activities.

Cuticle-degrading enzymes of entomopathogenic fungi: Synthesis in culture on cuticle
TL;DR: Several pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana, and Verticillium lecanii when grown in buffered liquid cultures containing comminuted locust cuticle as composite carbon source produced a variety of extracellular enzymes corresponding to the major components of insect cuticle.

Biochemistry of insect epicuticle degradation by entomopathogenic fungi.
TL;DR: The relationship between fungal ability to catabolize very long chain hydrocarbons and virulence parameters is shown and is shown to be related to beta-oxidation in fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of cuticle-degrading proteases produced by the entomopathogen Metarhizium anisopliae.
TL;DR: Two chymoelastases and three trypsin-like proteases were separated from culture filtrates of the entomopathogen Metarhizium anisopliae.

Photometric ninhydrin method for use in the chromatography of amino acids.
Stanford Moore,William H. Stein +1 more
TL;DR: In the present investigations of the chromatographic separation of amino acids, it has been observed that, when the color development is carried out in tubes exposed to the air, these difficulties appear to result primarily from the influence of dissolved oxygen.

Host-pathogen interactions IV. Studies on the polysaccharide-degrading enzymes secreted by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici
TL;DR: A group of proteins isolated from the cell walls of tomato stems, bean hypocotyls and suspension-cultured sycamore cells has been shown to inhibit the action of the Fusarium oxysporum polygalacturonase and, in doing so, to prevent cell wall degradation by the mixture of fungal enzymes present in dialyzed culture filtrates.
