Abstract
Blastospores of B. bassiana enclosed in fine mesh bags were submitted to soil microflora. Clay minerals coating fungal spores protected them by decreasing bacterial activity. The role of amoeba in biodegradation of fungi is also considered.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
