Influence of whey permeate and millet as substrates on thermotolerance of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae conidia during storage
Biocontrol Science and Technology 20 (8), 859-863
Abstract: Conidia from Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, produced in quarter-strength Sabouraud dextrose agar amended with yeast extract, whey permeate, and millet agar, were exposed to 45°C for 90 min prior to and at 30 d post-storage at 25°C. B. bassiana produced in whey permeate or millet had better thermotolerance than the other treatments after the storage.
