Fig. 8. Presumptive detoxification mechanism by glucosylation of DPL (24) from CTLs under the influence of silkworm gut microbiota.

Fig. 8

When silkworm feeds on CTLs, the toxic component DPL (24) in CTLs would enter the silkworm gut and would be converted into GPIFs, like silexcrin B (2) with greatly attenuated toxicity under the influence of silkworm gut microbiota.
