Characterization and Identification of Isaria fumosorosea metabolite

The fungi in the genus Isaria produce a variety of inhibitory metabolites. Typically, Isaria are known as entomopathogenic fungi. However, we have isolated a strain of this fungus that produces a metabolite that inhibits the growth of other fungi. The metabolite was produced during growth in potato dextrose broth. The filtered broth was analyzed to quantify the antifungal activity of the metabolit…
