Production of Gliotoxin in Unsterilized Soil
IT has long been recognized that microbial antagonisms exist in the soil, and the possibility that this might be due to production of antibiotics has been suggested although never actually proved.
The biological properties of 3,6-epidithiadiketopiperazines. Degradation of gliotoxin-B by Bacillus subtilis (HLX 373).
Like sporidesmin, gliotoxin catalyzes the decomposition of azide in the presence of iodine, and this catalysis can be used for its estimation. The presence of respiring cells of Bacillus subtilis d...
