Beauvericin is a depsipeptide with antibiotic and insecticidal effects belonging to the enniatin family. It was isolated from the fungus Beauveria bassiana, but is also produced by several other fungi, including several Fusarium species; it may therefore occur in grain (such as corn, wheat and barley) contaminated with these fungi. Beauvericin is active against Gram-positive bacteria and mycobacteria, and is also capable of inducing programmed cell death in mammals.

生产方法
1.白僵菌对营养的要求主要是碳源和氮源,以及少量的微量元素。根据其好气性特性,要选择质地松散、含糖量较高的原料配制培养基,如米糠皮、麸皮、黄豆饼、葡萄糖、磷酸二氢钾等。白僵菌在5～30℃均可生长繁殖,以24～28℃最为适宜,控制适宜温度和湿度也可防止杂菌生长。 1.真菌性杀虫剂。通过孢子接触到虫体后,在适宜温度和湿度萌发,形成菌丝,菌丝穿透虫体壁伸入体内,进行繁殖,使昆虫血液内充满孢子,以致死亡。可用于农业或林业防治多种害虫,如防治松毛虫,药剂对水稀释,用每毫升含活孢子1亿个药液进行喷雾。与2.5%敌百虫粉剂混用,每克混合粉含活孢子1亿个,用药量112.5～1150g混合粉/100m2。
