C. Wagner et al., VERTICILLIUM-REXIANUM (SACC.) SACC., A NEW PRODUCER OF MONACOLIN-K, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. C, A journal of biosciences, 53(3-4), 1998, pp. 289-290
From the broth of submerged cultures of Verticillium rexianum (teleomo
rph: Nectriopsis exigua), a mycophilic fungus growing on myxomycetes,
monacolin K was isolated as a weak inhibitor of pectate lyase. Monacol
in K is the first secondary metabolite described from V. rexianum.
