Effects of passages through an insect or a plant on virulence and physiological properties of the fungus <i>Metarhizium robertsii</i>.

Nonetheless, the plant colonization frequency tended to be higher (1.5-fold) in the plant-passaged reisolate compared to the parent strain and SDAY-subcultured reisolate with marginal significance (Fisher’s exact test, p = 0.091 and 0.065, respectively).

The reisolates passaged through the insect or plant showed a slight trend toward increased tomato colonization and enhanced antagonistic action on tomato-associated bacterium Bacillus pumilus as compared to the parental strain.
