Malformin in Aspergillus niger-Infected Onion Bulbs (Allium cepa)1

RESUMO

Malformin was identified, by its biological activity and chromatography, in acetone extracts of the outer scales of onion bulbs infected with Aspergillus niger. Malformin was not detected in tissue underlying the infected areas or in the central portions of the bulbs, nor was malformein liberated from extracts or extracted tissues after reduction with zinc in acetic acid. This is the first report of naturally occurring malformin.
