Description
Dong Li and co-authors hunt for natural pest killers in a 2024 study of a fungus that lives inside root-knot nematodes. These worm pests attack many crops and cause heavy farm losses around the world. The fungus, Harposporium anguillulae, grows inside the worms. The team grew it in five unlike food mixes and tested each brew on the worms.
One mix, based on corn meal, gave the strongest brew and was scaled up. From it the team drew out twelve compounds, one of them a new ring-shaped chain of four amino acids. A simple acid from the set killed most worms within a day in lab tests. Other compounds drew worms in or drove them off, which may also help farm use one day.
