Abstract
The yeast Pseudozyma fusiformata (Ustilaginales) produces an extracellular low-molecular-weight protease-resistant thermostable fungicide, which is ac tive against more than 80% of the 280 yeast and yeast-like species tested u nder acidic conditions. The fungicide, extracted with methanol and purified by Column and thin-layer chromatography, was found to consist of glucose a nd saturated fatty acids.
