The Journal of Antibiotics

Abstract

Two antifungal antibiotics, mycobacillin and versicolin, were studied as agricultural fungicides in the control of fungal infection of rice and jute. Mycobacillin is especially active against Piricularia oryzae at a concentration of 10 mug/ml, and versicolin against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides at a concentration of 2.5 mug/ml. Mycobacillin has no adverse effect on germination of seeds and growth of seedlings of rice and jute plants as a concentration of 500ppm, even for prolonged exposure. (24 or 48 hours); in fact, it is stimulatory. On the other hand, versicolin has showed detectable phytotoxicity at 500ppm for prolonged exposure
