Isonitrins and Isonitrinic Acids, a New Class of Antibiotics with an Isonitrile Group. II. Correlation between species of Trichoderma and production patterns of isonitrile antibiotics.

Abstract

Seventy-five strains belonging to the genus Trichoderma were examined for production of isonitrile antibiotics. The results indicated that the production patterns and the morphological and physiological characteristics had good correlation: that is, each species exhibited its own characteristic production pattern of isonitrile antibiotics.
