Abstract
The antifungal activity was investigated in culture filtrates of 131 strains (41 genera and 104 species) of Ascomycetes — Discomycetes by testing against 6 fungal species which causes diseases in man. The anti-fungal spectrum was established for a Ciboria rufo-fusca strain, the only one found to inhibit all test organisms. This strain was also active against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
