Abstract
WE have found substances in the culture filtrate of a fungus, strain 501–7w (genus and species unidentified), that stimulated the growth of cotyledons of Chinese cabbage seedlings (Brassica campestris L. subsp. Napus Hook.). The active components, which we call cotylenin A and B, have been isolated, and some of their physical properties determined.
