The secondary metabolites from Beauveria bassiana PQ2 inhibit the growth and spore germination of Gibberella moniliformis LIA.

ABSTRACT: Fungal secondary metabolites with antimicrobial properties are used for biological pest control. Their production is influenced by several factors as environment, host, and culture conditions. In the present work, the secondary metabolites from fermented extracts of Beauveria bassiana PQ2 were tested as antifungal agents against Gibberella moniliformis LIA. The L₁₈ (2¹ × 3⁷) orthogonal array from Taguchi methodology was used to assess 8 parameters (pH, agitation, sucrose, yeast extract, KH₂PO₄, MgSO₄, NH₄NO₃, and CaCl₂) in B. bassiana PQ2 submerged fermentation. The ability of the fermented extracts to slow down the growth rate of G. moniliformis LIA was evaluated. The results from 18 trials
