Novel antibiotic, rousselianone A, was produced by fermentation of Phaeosphaeria rousseliana L2144. Rousselianone A was characterized as a new derivative of phenalenone. The antibiotic showed no antimicrobial activity in vitro, but exhibited in vivo antifungal activity against plant diseases with a relatively broad spectrum.
