Macrocyclic Trichothecene Production by the Fungus Epibiont of Baccharis Coridifolia

Abstract

Cultures of the fungus epibiont from the herbaceous shrub B. coridifolia yielded four macrocyclic trichothecenes. As these toxins are the same as those found in B. coridifolia, the relationship between the plant and the epibiont must be considered as mutualistic.
