Two new cyclopentapeptides, basidiosins A and B (1 and 2) were isolated from the mycelia extracts of entomophthoralean fungus Basidiobolus meristosporus RCEF 4516. The structures were determined based on spectroscopic methods, and the absolute config urations were assigned by Marfey's method on their acid hydrolyzates. Compounds 1 and 2 were identified as cyclo(L-Thr-L-Leu- L-Ile-D-Tyr-D-Thr) and cyclo(L-Thr-L-Leu-L-Val-D-Val-D-Ser), respectively. They were evaluated for the biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidative activities. Furthermore, the biosynthetic pathway of 1 was proposed by bioinformatic analysis. This is the first study on the isolation of natural products from Basidiobolus fungus.

is a genus of entomophthoralean fungi often associated with insect epizootics, particularly in phytophagous hemipterans. Encapsulation has become a promising strategy for improving the shelf life and sporulation of these fungi post-application. This study aims to (i) compare the virulence of the submerged propagules and primary conidia of sp.

Despite over a century of observations, the obligate insect parasites within the order Entomophthorales remain poorly characterized at the genetic level. This is in part due to their large genome sizes and difficulty in obtaining sequenceable material. In this manuscript, we leveraged a recently-isolated, laboratory-tractable isolate and improved long-read sequencing to obtain a largely-complete entomophthoralean genome.
