Abstract
A substance containing citrinin, isolated from one culture of Aspergillus sp. of the Candidus group, completely inhibited growth of Staphylococcus aureus in dilution of 1:64.000; S. albus at 1:28,000 and B. mycoides at 1:28,000. Autoclaving of serial dilutions did not reduce its bacterio-static power.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
