Abstract: | A mycelial extract ofTrichoderma reesei (P-12) was separated into four fractions by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Out of these, two were found to exhibit antifungal activity when tested against plant pathogenic fungi. The level of antifungal compounds was higher in media containing glucose as the carbon source as compared to one containing cellulose. The synthesis of these antifungal compounds started after 3 days of inoculation at 30°C and continued upto 8 days. No further increase was recorded beyond this period. |
