Production of destruxins from Metarhizium spp. fungi in artificial medium and in endophytically colonized cowpea plants.

Production of destruxins from Metarhizium spp. fungi in artificial medium and in endophytically colonized cowpea plants.

Destruxins (DTXs) are cyclic depsipeptides produced by many Metarhizium isolates that have long been assumed to contribute to virulence of these entomopathogenic fungi. We evaluated the virulence of 20 Metarhizium isolates against insect larvae and measured the concentration of DTXs A, B, and E prod...
