Mutagens for regeneration of an antibiotic-producing strain of Aspergillus versicolor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The individual colonies of a partially degenerated culture of Aspergillus versicolor vary widely in their ability to produce an antibiotic active against Trichophyton rubrum. Mutagenic treatment with nitrous acid or ultraviolet light gave potent colonies. Nitrous acid gave better results in terms of stability and yield. This treatment may therefore prove useful in the regeneration of partially degenerated cultures.

متن کاملThe structure of the antifungal antibiotic versicolin.
The established metabolites of Aspergillus versicolor include numerous xanthones and anthraquinones, and a substituted imide1}. Recently Dhar and Bose2) reported the isolation of a new antifungal antibiotic, named versicolin, from the culture nitrate of a strain of A. versicolor. Low yielding cultures of A. versicolor could be regenerated by mutagenic treatment3*. Versicolin was notable because...
