This review article aims at summarizing the research findings on the biological aspects of ophiobolins, phytotoxins produced by the pathogenic fungi Bipolaris species, which usually infect rice, maize and sorghum. The topics covered include the organisms that produce the various ophiobolins, the structural variations of ophiobolins, the biological actions of ophiobolins in plants, animals and microorganisms, and the mode of action and the possible use of ophiobolin A as a calmodulin antagonist.
这篇综述文章旨在总结关于蛇孢菌素生物学方面的研究发现。蛇孢菌素是由致病真菌双极孢属产生的植物毒素，该属真菌通常感染水稻、玉米和高粱。涵盖的主题包括产生各种蛇孢菌素的生物体、蛇孢菌素的结构变异、蛇孢菌素在植物、动物和微生物中的生物学作用，以及蛇孢菌素A作为钙调蛋白拮抗剂的作用模式和可能用途。
