Abstract
The yeast Sympodiomycopsis paphiopedili (Ustilaginomycetes) produces an extracellular glycolipid, which possesses the maximum antifungal activity at a pH of the medium equal to 4.0–4.5. Among the approximately 300 tested species of yeastlike and mycelial fungi, more than 80% (including species pathogenic for plants, animals, and humans) were found to be sensitive to this glycolipid.
