Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 2005 Apr; 43(4): 342-5http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/58472A strain of Streptomyces purpeofuscus CM 1261 isolated from a sample of compost collected locally was found to possess strong antagonistic activity against 4 human pathogenic fungi i.e., Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton sp. The active antifungal compound produced by it was found to be a heptaene group of polyene antifungal antibiotic.engAntibiotics, Antifungal --isolation & purificationAspergillus niger --drug effectsCandida albicans --drug effectsMicrobial Sensitivity TestsMicrosporum --drug effectsMitosporic Fungi --drug effectsPolyenesStreptomyces --metabolismTrichophyton --drug effectsJournal Article
