Regulation of Cercosporin Accumulation in Culture by Medium and Temperature Manipulation

Abstract

(...) This study defined medium, temperature, and light conditions for maximum and minimum cercosporin accumulation in isolates of C. asparagi, C. beticola, C. kikuchii, C. nicotianae, and C. zeae-maydis. A simple method was developed for the extraction and measurement of cercosporin in cultures of Cercospora spp. grown on solid medium. (...)
