I am working on pesticidal properties of bioactives from cyanobacteria.
Both spectrins, porphyrin or any benzonoid, terpene structures will show pesticidal properties
Madam,
Please the article:

Biodegradation of organophosphate pesticide using recombinant Cyanobacteria with surface- and intracellular-expressed organophosphorus hydrolase.

Cyanobacteria have been identified as one of the most promising group of organisms from which novel and biochemically active natural products are isolated. Cyanobacteria such as Microcystis,Anabaena,Nostoc and Oscillatoria produce a great variety of secondary metabolites. The only comparable group is actinomycetes, which has yielded a tremendous number of metabolites.
Cyanobacterial lipopeptides include different compounds like cytotoxic (41%), antitumor (13%), antiviral (4%), antibiotics (12%) and the remaining 18% activities include antimalarial, antimycotics, multi-drug resistance reversers, antifeedant, herbicides and immunosuppressive agents.
