Antifungal activity of some Discomycetes. II. Fractionation and partial characterization of the antifungal substance produced by Ciboria rufo-fusca.
An antifungal glycoprotein compound was obtained from the culture filtrate of Ciboria rufo-fusca, by ultrafiltration and fractionation through D.E.A.E. cellulose and ultrogel Ac A34 chromatography. The purified material was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and was sensitive to the action of beta glucuronidase and catalase, and partly denatured by urea. The antifungal properties of the discomycete: Ciboria rufo-fusca was described in the first part of this work (6). The second part deals with the nature of the antifungal substance produced by Ciboria rufo-fusca.
