AN ANTIBIOTIC PRODUCED BY THE MYCORRHIZAL FUNGUS CENOCOCCUM GRANIFORME

Abstract
An antibiotic active against representatives of the bacteria, yeasts, and actinomycetes has been extracted from the mycelium, produced in vitro, of several strains of the mycorrhizal fungus, Cenococcum graniforme. No activity was observed in culture fluids of this organism. The antibiotic differed from that found in Boletus luteus mycelium by its microbial inhibition and ultraviolet absorption spectra.
