Potential to produce inducible enzymes (several hydrolases and oxidases) and antibiotics
as secondary metabolites was studied in soil micromycete strains from the Arctic (Franz …

Abstract The Antarctic fungus Cadophora malorum produces previously undescribed cyclic
heptapeptides (cadophorin A and B) containing an anthranilic acid residue. The planar …
