Abstract
Claviceps purpurea and single isolates of Epichloe amaryllans and E. b aconii grew well between -0.3 and -3.0 MPa water potential, below whic h growth declined with declining water potential. The isolates of E. c larkii and of E. typhina were less tolerant to reduced water potential . Antibiotic was weakly produced by some Epichloe isolates but not by C. purpurea.
