Abstract
Eighteen isolates ofFusarium avenaceum Fries Sacc. originating from cereals, potato and carrot from Poland synthesized Avenacein Y in amounts ranging from 0.01 to 2.0 g/kg of wheat grain. The compound was produced in 1 kg of corn kernels by isolate KF-58, isolated, identified and used to test for antibiotic activity against plant pathogenic fungi of 11 genera. Application of Avenacein Y caused slight decrease of mycelium growth in four species only.
