The inside cover picture shows a “fabclavine” produced by two entomopathogenic Xenorhabdus bacteria (background). H. B. Bode et al. elucidated its structure and biosynthesis ( p. 512 ff. ) and show that fabclavines might serve as toxins against insect cells or subsequently protect the insect cadaver (here Manduca sexta ) against various competitors, including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.
