Isaria tenuipes pure culture plate

The Isaria tenuipes Pure Culture Plate from Agripie is a high-purity, axenic fungal culture developed under controlled laboratory conditions for research, strain development, and advanced mycological studies. Isaria tenuipes is a well-known entomopathogenic fungus closely related to Cordyceps species and is extensively studied for its secondary metabolites, bioactive compounds, and potential medicinal and biotechnological applications.

This culture is established using single-source isolation techniques, ensuring genetic stability, reproducible growth characteristics, and freedom from bacterial or fungal contamination. On agar media, Isaria tenuipes exhibits white to pale cream mycelium, fine filamentous growth, and moderate radial expansion under optimal incubation conditions.

The culture adapts well to commonly used fungal media and is suitable for maintenance cultures, sub-culturing, metabolite studies, and experimental scale-up. Due to its relevance in Cordyceps-related research, this strain is particularly valuable for academic institutions, pharmaceutical R&D, and mushroom biotechnology laboratories.
