Abstract


Synthetic insecticides are major contributors to environmental pollution and the emergence of resistance. Fungal-derived metabolites are known to be environmentally friendly, selective alternatives. Thus, in the context of a green environment, this study aimed to evaluate the larvicidal activity of a mangrove-associated endophytic Penicillium oxalicum (OQ231606.1) against Culex pipiens using a larval mortality bioassay and molecular docking.
