Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Trichoderma harzianum with altered antibiotic production were isolated using ultraviolet light mutagenesis. These included strains whose activity in a Fusarium oxysporum spore germination assay was greater than twice that of the parental strain and one that had no detectable antifungal activity. Characterisation of extracellular metabolites of these strains using thin-layer chromatography and...
