Injection of zymosan or dead yeast cells enhanced the inhibitory activity against exocellular Beauveria bassiana proteases in the cell - free haemolymph of Galleria mellonella larvae . Pre - injected larvae exhibited no decreased mortality after subsequent injection with living B. bassiana blastospores but survived for a prolonged time before death . Increased levels of protease inhibitors in the haemolymph were also observed after injection of B. bassiana proteases . In contrast , no enhanced inhibitory activity against B. bassiana proteases was detected in infected larvae when mycosis was initiated with conidia which enabled the fungus to invade host larvae through the integument in a natural manner . B. bassiana proteases were not completely inhibited by the addition of cell - free haemolymph . Protease inhibitors obtained after heat and trichloroacetic acid precipitation of cell - free haemolymph were added to the protein medium of B. bassiana to study the effect on its growth in vitro. Enriched fractions from pre - injected larvae delayed fungal growth in comparison with fractions from untreated larvae , suggesting that delayed mortality of immunized G. mellonella larvae infected with B. bassiana is due to enhanced levels of protease inhibitors . A non - virulent form of the same strain exhibited reduced capacity to release proteases in vitro. The results strongly suggest that the capacity of insects to release inhibitors against fungal proteases influences their susceptibility against entomopathogenic fungi . |
