Infection and isolation of two species of EPF from adults of Sitophilus granarius (strain SG5), a Infection of S. granarius adult (lower picture) with Beauveria bassiana (strain BB2) exhibited by white superficial mycelium growth, upper picture is uninfected or healthy. b Infection of S. granarius’ adults (lower picture) with Metarhizium anisopliae (strain MA1) exhibited by olive green superficial mycelium growth, upper picture is uninfected or healthy. c Isolation technique of ingested conidia of B. bassiana or M. anisopliae from treated adults of S. granarius after being superficially disinfected then plated using a selective medium (SDA + Chloramphenicol). d–e Growth of B. bassiana on the plate surface with a selective medium (SDA + Chloramphenicol) (upper and lower views of fungus growth as a white dense mycelia growth on the plate’s surface in case of positive isolation)
