Microbial metabolites with insecticidal properties.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A screen of fungi for insecticidal activity revealed the ability of Aspergillus versicolor to make versimide, methyl-alpha-(methylsuccinimido)acrylate, a novel contact insecticide. The larvicidal activities of Alternaria tenuis and Fusarium lateritium were found to be due to tenuazonic acid and diacetoxyscirpenol, respectively. Thiolutin, cycloheximide, rubratoxin, patulin, trichothecin, an actinomycin, and scirpene-producing fungi also had insecticidal activity.

The endophytic fungus is have rich source of secondary metabolites which act as biological active agent in the higher plants. The fungal derivatives play vital part in human life and their compounds are the source of drug for cancer, microbial and viral diseases. The natural compounds from the endophytes acts as growth inhibitor of plant pathogenic organism. Endophytes are rich sources of natur...
متن کاملSecondary metabolites and insecticidal activity of Anemone pavonina.
The insecticidal properties of the crude extracts of the leaves and flowers of Anemone pavonina were evaluated on Pheidole pallidula ants and showed significant levels of activity. Bioassay-guided fractionations led to the isolation of the butenolide ranunculin (1) as the active principle. Chemical investigations of the extracts showed them to contain as major components the sitosterol glycopyr...
متن کاملA simple screening method for insecticidal substances from actinomycetes.
A simple and selective assay system was developed in the search for new insecticidal substances from Actinomycetales strains propagated on solid culture media. The strains were first tested for their ability to produce antimicrobial compounds. Only strains displaying weak or no activity were retained and screened in the insecticidal bioassay. Microbial solid cultures were given as food to larva...
