| Abstract | ||||
| Five fungal isolates belonging to the entomopathogenic fungi where had isolated inBio-insecticide Production Unit, Plant Protection Research Institute , two isolatesof Beauveria bassiana,two isolatesof Lecanicillium antillanum and one of Paecilomyces lilacinus, in addition to one isolate of Rhizopus stolonifer That grows with Lecanicillium antillanum in Mycoparasitism relationship.The isolated fungi wererecovered from Egyptian soil and from larvae of Spodoptera littoralis which found infected in a sugar beet field. These isolates were identified by conventional techniques in Mycological Center, Faculty of Science, Assiut University. Among these fungal species L. antillanum is a new record in Egypt. In addition, the activities of proteases, lipases, amylases and L-asparaginase of isolates fungi were recorded. The results showed that, all isolates were active producers of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. | ||||
