This review is directed toward the study of the physiology and biochemistry of parasitic fungi on insects and stresses the usefulness and utility of these organisms from the standpoint of applied research and biotechnology. The review covers the principal contributions made by investigators toward elucidation of the infective mechanisms of the entomogenous fungi, and the various biochemical attributes of these organisms. The interplay of the various enzymes and associated biochemical substances which are involved in the infective process is discussed as well as the important studies of the peculiar physiology frequently associated with these microorganisms.
本综述旨在研究寄生在昆虫身上的真菌的生理学和生物化学，并从应用研究和生物技术的角度强调这些生物的实用性和用途。该综述涵盖了研究人员在阐明虫生真菌的感染机制方面所做的主要贡献，以及这些生物的各种生化特性。文中讨论了参与感染过程的各种酶和相关生化物质之间的相互作用，以及对这些微生物常伴有的特殊生理学的重要研究。
