title: Production of the phytotoxic metabolite, ferricrocin, by the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.
abstract: A siderophore was isolated as a non-specific phytotoxic compound from a culture of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolated from infected blackberry. This siderophore was identified as ferricrocin by NMR, IR, MS, and CD spectra. The phytotoxic activities of ferricrocin and deferriferricrocin were compared.
