Abstract

One hundred isolates of 27 species belonging to 13 genera of dematiaceous hyphomycetes were screened for production of cytochalasins C, D and E. Only two isolates ofBipolaris neergaardii and one isolate ofPhoma herbarum produced cytochalasins C and D. Also, cytochalasin E was produced by two isolates ofAlternaria chlamydospora, and one isolate ofCochliobolus tuberculatus. This is the first report about the production of cytochalasins C, D and E by these species of dematiaceous hyphomycetes.
