Beauveria felina Accelerates Growth When Competing With Other Potential Endophytes

Scientists studied how Beauveria felina, a fungus used to control crop pests, performs when competing with other fungi naturally found in plants. Surprisingly, B. felina grew faster when other fungi were present, suggesting it could be a robust biocontrol agent. However, researchers caution that introducing any new organism to plants requires careful study of how it affects the entire fungal community living in the plant.
