Insecticidal metabolites from Serratia marcescens associated with the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda): molecular identification, metabolomic profiling and molecular docking insights

An investigation of metabolites from an insect‑associated Serratia marcescens strain identifies candidate bioactive compounds and uses docking to probe acetylcholinesterase interactions.

Key Takeaways
  • Development of environmentally sustainable pest management strategies has become increasingly important
  • In the present study, pathogenic bacteria associated with S
  • Metabolic profiling of the extracted compounds was performed using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)
