Read an abstract: " Griseofulvin has
been used as an antifungal antibiotic
for the treatment of mycotic diseases of
humans and veterinary animals. The
purpose of this work was to identify a
griseofulvin-producing endophytic fungus
from Abies holophylla and
evaluate its in vivo antifungal activity
against plant pathogenic fungi."
