Abstract

A new insecticidal cyclodepsipeptide, bassianolide (1), was isolated from the mycelia of two entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana and Verticillium lecanii, and its structure was elucidated. Silkworm larvae exhibited an atonic symptom and were killed by administration of 1. The present report describes the details of isolation, structure elucidation and biological activity of bassianolide.
