Abstract:
Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. produces a red diffusible quinone pigment. The pigment is shown to be anti-mycotic, effective in low concentrations, against human pathogenic fungi, namely Candida albicans and a Fusarium isolate obtained from an infected toe nail, the MIC of the pigment extract on growth of the two molds being 0.03 mu g percent and 0.02 mu g percent respectively.
