Description

Metarhizium robertsii, a fungal pathogen employed in pest biocontrol, can alkalize the surrounding environment, although the biological implications remain unclear. Here, we found that M. robertsii glutamate dehydrogenase 2 (MrGDH2) was responsible for alkalization during fungal growth on insect wings or media containing cuticle powder.
