| Title | Unique antimicrobial spectrum of ophiobolin K produced by Aspergillus ustus. |
| Journal | Biosci Biotechnol Biochem |
| Abstract |
A co-cultivation study of two fungal strains showed that Aspergillus ustus could inhibit Aspergillus repens growth. The bioactive compound responsible for the observed activity was purified and identified as a sesterterpene, ophiobolin K. Ophiobolin K exhibited marked inhibition against both fungi and bacteria, especially A. repens, A. glaucus and gram-positive bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Micrococcus luteus. |
