Abstract

Different 2-pyridones have been identified, with multiple biological activities but unclear chemical ecology. We found that the silent tenS gene cluster was activated in the insect pathogen Beauveria bassiana when the fungus was cocultured with its natural competitor Metarhizium robertsii .
