Abstract:
Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc produces an extracellular diffusible red pigment. It is shown to be a quinone in nature with antimycotic property and effective against human pathogenic fungi Candida albicans and an onychomycotic fungus, in low concentration of 2.5-3.0 mu g L sup(-1). The pigment is separable into two components, both of which have antimycotic activity.
