title: Novel antifungal compounds produced by Sterile Dark, an unidentified wheat rhizosphere fungus.
abstract: Two novel antifungal compounds were isolated from a culture broth of Sterile Dark, an unidentified fungus isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat grown in a continuous cropping field. These compounds were elucidated to be phthalide-based compounds by spectroscopic analyses.
