Abstract
FROM a mould filtrate we have extracted a new substance with strong antifungal properties. The mould itself, which we were unable to classify completely, belongs to the species Monosporium bonorden and has been isolated from a sample of soil from the Belgian Congo. It develops white, almost sterile mycelia on Czapec-agar, with the reverse of the colonies varying from straw-yellow to brown with age.
