Benomyl-resistant mutants of entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae were isolated and their physiological characteristics were investigated. These militants were obtained spontaneously or by UV irradiation in benomyl-treated media. Four spontaneous (S-2, S-11, S-18, S-19) and four UV-induced (UV-4, UV-5, UV-19, UV-24) mutants, which grow stably and normally were selected. No significant differences in conidia or hyphal shape, conidia viability, mycelial biomass, or virulent to the diamondback moth were observed between the wild type and their mutants.
