Insecticidal activity – A new bioactive property of the cyanobacterium Fischerella
Becher, Paul G; Jüttner, Friedrich
Abstract
A literature survey was performed on the bioactive compounds so far isolated and characterised from Fischerella and related Stigonematales. It is noticeable that no insecticidal activity has been shown for any of these compounds yet. The newly found insecticidal property of Fischerella may lead to the identification of bioactive compounds which may be important as chemical defence against insect grazers.
