Abstract
Fischerellin A, the most active allelochemical compound of Fischerella muscicola that is directed against other cyanobaceria and photoautotr ophic organisms, is a potent photosystem-II inhibitor of novel structu re. Structural elements are an enediyne moiety and two heterocyclic ri ng systems. Fischerellin A is unique and unrelated to all known cyanob acterial metabolites, it exhibits a MIC of 14 nM against Synechococcus PCC 6911, and has interesting antifungal and herbicidal activity.
