Beauvericin is a depsipeptide with antibiotic and insecticidal effects belonging to the enniatin family. It was isolated from the fungus Beauveria bassiana but is also produced by several other fungi including several Fusarium species; it may therefore occur in grain (such as corn wheat and barley) contaminated with these fungi.
