Production and antibacterial activity of malforming C, a toxic metabolite of Aspergillus niger
Abstract
The production of the new mycotoxin malformin C by a solid substrate fermentation is described. Malformin C is highly toxic (mean lethal dose = 0.9 mg/kg) and exerts antibacterial activity against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.
