Harman and norharman, metabolites of entomopathogenic fungus Conidiobolus coronatus (Entomopthorales), disorganize development of Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera) and affect serotonin-regulating enzymes.
Naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungi such as Conidiobolus coronatus are important regulatory factors of insect populations.
