B. Schlegel et al., (-)-terpestacin and L-tenuazonic acid, inducers of pigment and aerial mycelium formation by Fusarium culmorum JP 15, J BASIC MIC, 41(3-4), 2001, pp. 179-183
Surface cultures of Fusarium culmorum JP15 were found to respond to extract
s of other fungi by enhanced production of orange-red fusarubin pigments an
d formation of aerial mycelium. Two inducers from strain Ulocladium sp. HKI
0226, the new (-)-terpestacin (1) and L-tenuazonic acid (2), were isolated
. 1 inhibited syncytium formation by cells infected with respiratory syncyt
ial virus (RSV).
