Succinate Dehydrogenase Subunit C Contributes to Mycelial Growth and Development, Stress Response, and Virulence in the Insect Parasitic Fungus Beauveria bassiana

The electron transport chain (ETC) is critical for energy supply by mediating the electron flow along the mitochondrial membrane. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is also known as complex II in the ETC, in which SdhC is a subunit anchored in mitochondrial membrane. However, the physiological roles of SdhC remain enigmatic in filamentous fungi.
