“…Respirometry analysis showed the metabolic activity of B. bassiana PQ2 when adapting to the fermentation conditions (Figure 2). From 48 to 69 h, CO 2 production increased, which was related to mycelial development and the spore yield that improved after 100 h of the cultivation process [10,26]. However, the high variation of CO 2 reported in Figure 2 might indicate the need to control the operating conditions, such as temperature, pH, and nutrients; thus, in the future, it will be necessary to optimize them [10].…”

Beauveria bassiana is an entomopathogenic fungus that is used for the biological control of different agricultural pest insects. B. bassiana is traditionally cultivated in submerged fermentation and solid-state fermentation systems to obtain secondary metabolites with antifungal activity and infective spores. This work presents the design and characterization of a new laboratory-scale biofilm bioreactor for the simultaneous production of oosporein and aerial conidia by B. bassiana PQ2. The reactor was built with materials available in a conventional laboratory. KLa was determined at different air flows (1.5–2.5 L/min) by two different methods in the liquid phase and in the exhaust gases. The obtained values showed that an air flow of 2.5 L/min is sufficient to ensure adequate aeration to produce aerial conidia and secondary metabolites by B. bassiana. Under the conditions studied, a concentration of 183 mg oosporein per liter and 1.24 × 109 spores per gram of support was obtained at 168 h of culture. These results indicate that the biofilm bioreactor represents a viable alternative for the production of products for biological control from B. bassiana.

“…Na fermentação em estado sólido (SSF) tradicional, o substrato sólido úmido (40% de umidade, geralmente grãos de arroz) é colocado em sacos de polipropileno (50 x 39 cm) e previamente esterilizado. Após a inoculação, os sacos de polipropileno são fechados, permitindo troca gasosa (o saco pode ser fechado parcialmente ou utilizando rolhas porosas) e incubado por 7 a 30 dias até a máxima conidiação (MÉNDEZ-GONZÁLEZ et al, 2018).…”

“…Hydrophobic air conidia are best suitable for oil formulations, since prolong the conidial viability and decreases UV radiation sensitivity [84][85][86]. Indeed, numerous studies have shown that conidia produced in an SSF culture are tolerant toward environmental factors (dehydration, drop of temperature and solar irradiation) than spores obtained by SmF [87]. Conidia and blastospores are the main infective units used in biological control with entomopathogenic fungi.…”

“…Use of tray bioreactors results in similar or higher production and productivity of conidia than those obtained with the traditional. That is now possible because of advances in the construction of SSF bioreactors [87,104]. For example, a stirred bioreactor with aeration supply has been designed for Paecilomyces lilacinus conidia production [103].…”

Despite the urgent need for alternatives to chemicals in plant protection, biological herbicides are not widely used as biofungicides and bioinsecticides. The review is devoted to connections between fungal biology, biochemistry, their ability to survive in extreme environment and development of effective mycoherbicides. Advanced studies on the production and stabilization of mycofungicides and mycoinsecticides were analyzed too in order to obtain ideas for the improvement of efficacy and technology of mycoherbicides in the future. The analysis of research data published within last 20 years showed following trends. First, more attention is paid for production both effective and stress tolerant propagules especially based on the submerged fungal mycelium and its modifications (blastospores, chlamydospores and microsclerotia). Second, the construction of bioreactors, in particular, for solid-state fermentation is continuously being improved that allows producing highly stress tolerant fungal aerial conidia. Third, based on studies of biochemical mechanisms of viability of fungi in extreme environment, the approaches of stabilization and storage of fungal propagules were developed. However, the positive reply to the question, if biopesticides including mycoherbicides, will become a serious alternative to agrochemicals, will be possible when they demonstrate stable efficacy in the field conditions and safety for both environment and end users.
