Identification and directed biosynthesis of efrapeptins in the fungusTolypocladium geodes gams (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes)
@article{Krasnoff2004IdentificationAD, title={Identification and directed biosynthesis of efrapeptins in the fungusTolypocladium geodes gams (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes)}, author={Stuart B Krasnoff and Sandeep K Gupta}, journal={Journal of Chemical Ecology}, year={2004}, volume={17}, pages={1953-1962} }
HPLC analysis of crude dichloromethane extracts of shaken liquid cultures of the hyphomycetous fungusTolypocladium geodes Gams revealed the presence of efrapeptins. These peptides, which have mitochondrial ATPase inhibitory activity as well as antifungal and insecticidal properties, are previously known only from the congeneric species,T. niveum Rostrup. The identity of efrapeptins was confirmed by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and by amino acid analysis. HPLC analyses of efrapeptins…
