Antifungal Activity of Oosporein from an Antagonistic Fungus against Phytophthora infestans

An antifungal metabolite, oosporein, was isolated from the culture of Verticillium psalliotae that produced the antagonistic effects on Phytophthora infestans. Oosporein exhibited a significant growth-inhibitory effect on P. infestans in comparison with other phytopathogenic fungi.
