title: Production of thermozymocidin (myriocin) by the pyrenomycete Melanconis flavovirens.
abstract: Submerged culture of the pyrenomycete Melanconis flavovirens produces a strongly active antifungal antibiotic. The antibiotic was isolated from the culture mash. In purified compound the physico-chemical characteristics, including 1H NMR spectrum, were estimated. The antibiotic was found to be identical with thermozymocidin (myriocin) as confirmed by comparison with synthetically prepared thermozymocidin.
