Dark Pigments in Entomopathogenic Fungal Microsclerotia: Preliminary Evidence of a 1,8-Dihydroxynaphthalene-melanin-like Compound in <i>Metarhizium robertsii</i>

Dark Pigments in Entomopathogenic Fungal Microsclerotia: Preliminary Evidence of a 1,8-Dihydroxynaphthalene-melanin-like Compound in <i>Metarhizium robertsii</i>

<i>Metarhizium robertsii</i> microsclerotia are fungal aggregates composed of compacted, pigmented hyphae. As they are highly tolerant to desiccation and produce infective conidia, they are promising candidates to be formulated as bioinsecticides. Despite this potential, the nature of th...
