title: Studies on a strain of Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. Isolated from a case of mycotic keratitis.
abstract: A strain of Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. (IMI-216517), isolated from a patient of mycotic keratitis, produced experimental keratomycosis in albino rabbit cornea and survived in internal tissues of albino mice for varying periods. Alantolactone, isolated from the plant - Inula racemosa Hook. f. exhibited marked in vitro fungistatic activity against this strain of F. solani at 100-200 microgram/ml concentrations. The strain was less sensitive to amphotericin B and showed more acid than alkaline proteinase and phosphatase activities.
