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.
