Abstract
Fruiting-inducing activity and antifungal properties of lipid componen ts in the phylum Annelida were examined, Some amphoteric cerebrosides carrying a phosphocholine group showed fruiting-inducing activity on S chizophyllum commune, and one of them possessed activity comparable to that of Sch II, the most potent substance known, Furthermore, alkyl l ysophosphatidylcholines were found to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of phytopathogenic fungi, Alternaria kikuchiana and Phomopsis mall, The relationship between structure and biological activities is discussed.
