Antifungal activity of some Discomycetes. I. Biological spectrum of Ciboria rufo-fusca (Weberb.) Sacc.

The antifungal activity was investigated in culture filtrates of 131 strains (41 genera and 104 species) of Ascomycetes--Discomycetes by testing against 6 fungal species which caused diseases in man. The anti-fungal spectrum was established for a Ciboria rufo-fusca strain, the only one found to inhibit all test organisms. This strain was also active against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
