Abstract
The alkaloid harman, previously reported from some marine invertebrates, was identified as the antibiotic substance of the tunicate-associated bacterium Enterococcus faecium. It exhibited antibacterial activity (MIC, 0.017 mM) against the ichthyopathogenic strain Vibrio anguillarum.Keywords
