Abstract
An Agrobacterium tumefaciens potato disc assay was used to screen cert ain natural products (25 mu g/disc) from fungi for crown gall tumor/an titumor induction. Monorden (-75.0%), cladosporin (-79.0%), monocillin IV (-79.6%), duclauxin (-96.0%), diplodiol (-96.3%), and chaetoglobos in K (-99.0%) displayed concentration-dependent responses at 5, 10, 25 , and 50 mu g/disc. These natural products were not antimicrobial as d etermined by sensitivity tests using fungi and bacteria, inclusive of A. tumefaciens.
