Resumen
Conidia of entomopathogenic fungi (EF) are the propagules most frequently used in arthropod biocontrol programs. This anamorphic form is essential for the infection process, including spore germination, penetration, vegetative growth, conidiogenesis and dissemination. Most EF are mesophilic and can develop between 10 and 40 °C, but optimal growth is between 25 and 35 °C. Abiotic factors, especially temperature (high or low) can determine their viability, virulence and success or failure of infection process. Temperature has the highest impact on conidial stress inhibiting metabolic processes, such as decreased morphogenesis during germination, protein denaturation and membrane disorganization. Several studies show that some strains of Beauveria spp., Metarhizium spp., and Isaria spp. exhibit conidial survival even when grown at high temperatures, indicating a relationship between conidial thermotolerance and their geographical isolation origin. Moreover, the high variability in fungal thermotolerance is also dependent of the culture media composition and growth condition. EF that grow at high temperatures do not grow at low temperatures and vice versa. Moreover, when growth conditions are not set at optimal temperatures, EF development is affected and their effectiveness in biological control programs of arthropods is reduced. Thermal stress directly impacts on fungal strains ability to target arthropods and their environmental activity performance. The screening for fungal strains with a higher thermotolerance and the improvement on conidial formulations may aid in optimizing the conditions for biocontrol agent application.
