Abstract
Cannabiorcichromenic acid and 8-chlorocannabiorcichromenic acid [8-chl oro-5-hydroxy-2,7-dimethyl-2(4-methyl- 3-pentenyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-6-c arboxylic acid] were identified as active components in cultures of Cy lindrocarpon olidum which antagonized various other fungi. Experiments performed with the purified acids confirmed the antifungal activity; in addition, they revealed that the acids had antibiotic properties to wards grampositive bacteria and were toxic to nematodes.
