Abstract
Summary
Several soil fungi have been found to produce filtrates active against Trypanosoma equiperdum. From a Phycomyces sp. a lipid-like substance was isolated which immobilized the trypanosome in uitro but exerted no protective action against the experimental infection in mice.
No inhibitive agent has heretofore been obtained from this group of fungi. The selective action of the phycomyces factor against the trypanosome, but not against bacteria, is of particular interest.
