Summary

An insertional mutant of Metarhizium anisopliae is described with enhanced submerged conidiation. In a 500 ml submerged culture, this mutant produces a mean of 4.05 × 108 propagules  ml−1 from an inoculum of 1 × 106 conidia, where the parental strain accumulates only 3.75 × 104 propagules  ml−1.
