Graphical Abstract
  • by acting as pathogens. It is firmly established that the ability to produce mycotoxins contributes to the virulence potential of these fungi, but as they all thrive in environmental reservoirs they must also provide an ecological advantage to their producer [18]. Indeed, many of these pathogenic
  • fungi also produce compounds with antibacterial, antifungal and insecticidal properties to ward of both competitors and predators. The mycotoxins aflatoxin B1 (1) from Aspergillus flavus and patulin (2), produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium species, exhibit insecticidal activity against Drosophila

But not only mycotoxins protect from predation: A. flavus sclerotia are protected from sap beetles by asparasone and Neurospora crassa’s neurosporin A prevents springtail grazing [22][23].
