Verticillium lecanii

Nilsson U, Gripwall E. Influence of application technique on the viability of biological control agents Verticillium lecanii and Steinemema feltiae. Crop Protect. 1999 18 53-59. 

The main entomopathogens are Verticillium lecanii for control of aphids, white fly and thrips, Beauveria bassiana and B. brongniartii for control of lepidopteran and coleopteran species and Metarhizium aniso-pliae and M. flavoviride for control of insect pests of coffee and sugar cane and, more recently, to control locust swarms. 

Recently, many hyperparasites of the tick have been evaluated as control methods, in particular the entomogenous fungi Metarhizium anisopliae [147-149], Beauveria bassiana [112], Verticillium lecanii [150] and the bacteria Cedecea lapagei 117 and Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki [151].

Bassiatin (106), a cyclodidepsipeptide possessing the same residues as that of cyclohexadepsipeptide (103), was isolated from B. bassiana K-717 (Kagamizono et al., 1995). A symmetric cyclooctadepsipeptide displaying insecticidal activity, bassianolide (107), was isolated from B. bassiana and Verticillium lecanii (Suzuki et al., 1977).

Metabolic resolution of the racemic mixture has been reported using Verticillium lecanii [58]. This microorganism is able to grow on the racemic (i ,5)-ibuprofen, giving a product mixture enriched in the S isomer SIR = 2), after 14 days at pH = 7.0 and 24 C.
