Maximiscin is a polyketide-shikimate chemical compound isolated from Tolypocladium that shows tumor growth suppression in an animal model.[1] The discovery of maximiscin was the result of a citizen scientist crowdsourcing project by the University of Oklahoma.[2] The soil sample which yielded maximiscin was sent by a woman from Salcha, Alaska.[3]
