Abstract
Metarhizium anisopliae was grown by solid-state fermentation on a series of
compositions of rice, rice bran, or rice husk media for the production of
cyclodepsipeptides, destruxins A and B. The best yield for destruxin A and
destruxin B were 2.9 mg kg(-1) substrate and 227 mg kg(-1) substrate, respe
ctively, after 14 days cultivation with rice/bran/husk medium at 71% water
content together with water activity of 0.921.
