Application Notes
Fumitremorgin B is a tremorgenic mycotoxin isolated from Aspergillus fumigatus. Fumitremorgin B is active against a range of phytopathogenic fungi including Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria solani and alternata at 6.25 µg/mL. Fumitremorgen B has potent insect antifeedant activity against armyworm larvae. Fumitremogin B is cytotoxic when tested against brine shrimp (LC50 13.6 µg/mL).
